    I met two lady friends yesterday for lunch at Athenian Grill. The weather was great and we sat on the beautiful patio overlooking the water. The service was great, we ordered non-alcoholic drinks as we perused the menus. We ordered French fries as an appetizer to munch on while we waited for our lunch order. They were piping hot and came with catsup in a dish, very elegant (as opposed to a bottle). Our food arrived and it was delicious. After we ate, the owner Shelley came by and visited with us. She was very nice, and it was nice to meet her. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be back.

    The chicken gyros here are the best! We come here for our Greek food fix. Service is always outstanding and friendly! The outdoor seating looking at the marina is very relaxing and beautiful.

    We wanted to take our kids to lunch before hitting the festival at the marina. We went early enough that they weren't very busy. We were greeted right away and seated. We decided to eat inside because it was heating up, but we do enjoy dining on the patio near the water. Our waitress, Jade, was very friendly and attentive. We decided pretty quickly what we wanted to eat. My husband ordered the Souvlaki Pita Sandwich with lamb and sweet potato fries. Our oldest wanted calamari and fries. Our youngest ordered mini cheeseburgers (plain) and fries from the kids menu. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Everything was very clean inside, like all the previous times we have eaten here. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will definitely come back; hopefully, next time we can sit outside.

    Been awhile since I've been back, post fire. Had my go-to, ribeye steak sandwich and fries. It was like I remembered. Steak cooked to perfection on a soft roll w/lettuce & tomato. Lettuce/tomato were fresh and crisp. Only complaint, fries were a little overdone for my liking. However, they're fresh cut, and overdone fresh cut are still better than frozen. The service, as always, is exemplary. The wait staff are attentive but overly so. Love this place

    Wow!! The food here is delicious!! The gyros sandwich tastes very authentic. I felt like I was back in Greece eating traditional gyro. The baklava is easily the best I've ever had. They add a syrup on bottom that takes it to the next level. The service is phenomenal. The nicest people that made us feel so comfortable. Rebecca and Najwa were so kind and made us feel so welcomed! This will easily become my family's new go-to spot!

    I don't come here often but every time it's been a good time. After working 4 long weeks of nights I had to come back for a nice meal. The food is always on point and our server greeted us with a nice smile. This place is never empty and that says something about the food,atmosphere and especially the service.

    So good

    Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Felt like I was at a beach house Calling all Coffee lovers! They now have pastries and coffee on the weekends. Amazing pastries made from a local baker. Coffee was the perfect combination of sweet and strong. Avocado toast is a must try if you like avocado toast. The owner came over and spoke with us and was so lovely and sweet. They also offer a bouquet station where you can make your own bouquet of flowers for $10.

    WOW this place has seriously lost all value in customer service. The last time I was here was when I wrote my previous review 2 years ago giving this place 5 stars. Now I can barely give them 1 star with the customer service lacking SO much. Came in today (9/20/25) with my husband and small child and was excited to sit and eat yummy food. Walked in and waited at the front of the "wait to be seated" sign. The place was pretty empty with only two tables taken. The kitchen is pretty open and staff are able to see customers that walk in from the kitchen. So we waited... and waited.... And waited... and waited.... As we waited to be seated we saw one of the male cooks going back and forth while cooking. He saw us, didn't say anything, had an earbud in his ear, and just kept cooking... as we continued to wait we saw another staff member walk by in the kitchen, looked at us and continued to do what she was doing... at this point we had already been waiting at least 10 minutes so we just decided to leave and take our money elsewhere. It's one thing to acknowledge your customers and say "we will be right with you" or SOMETHING but to completely ignore customers that are planning to spend money at your restaurant is beyond me. Horrible customer service. We ended up leaving to another restaurant that we felt welcomed and acknowledged as soon as we walked in the door. I will no longer waste my time driving to this place given the lack of service displayed.

    We love going to this place. Not only the food server a great people but they great selection of food and drinks. We have some friends from Reno NV, San Bruno CA and Hayward CA for dinner. Most of them are their first time to visit this place. They love the food and the scenery. We had a great dinner last Saturday because we had an awesome friends with us, delicious food and great customer service. Kudos to Athenian Grill.

    Ask the Community - Athenian Grill

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes. We had a dog with us. They have limited tables to accommodate dogs.

    Are reservations needed? Can't get anyone on the phone

    No reservations needed.

    Is this restaurant open?? Will it ever open?

    They opened back up the first weekend of October. We went opening weekend

    Not a question? This business remains closed. Any news on reopening?

    According to a thread on Solano County Secret Foodie Club on FB. They're planning to reopen in a month or so.

    It's been awhile, have you/they re-opened since the fire?

    No, it was hopeful- then Covid hit. Wish they'd update us. The cravings are real!

    Many gluten free dishes?

    I'd say quite a few if you stay away from the pita bread. All of the meat entrees come with rice and salad, etc.

    Do they serve real Greek coffee , imported from Greece , and made in a real Greek briki?

    Doesn't look like it

The wife and I had garlic pasta with chicken, and pasta Fiorentino with mushrooms and spinach. Both were absolutely delicious! The cream sauce was rich and complex and incredibly smooth. The mushrooms and spinach were perfectly cooked, and the pasta in garlic and butter really hit that garlic craving spot. The overall ambience was classy, but not fancy. The staff was really attentive, and wanted to make sure we had a great experience, which we did. Can't recommend this place enough! This is truly a gem, and not too far off the freeway, if you're also passing through. I don't head through Fairfield very often, but now I might make a point to stop in just for some great Italian. Brava!

Super personable, great energy, and made the whole experience feel effortless. I ordered the peanut butter and jelly burger--smash-style patty with bacon, peanut butter, jelly, Tabasco, and pickles--and wow... one of the most unique and satisfying burgers I've had in a long time. It hits that perfect balance of savory, sweet, and nostalgic. I asked Paul what he would pair with it, and he absolutely nailed it. He introduced me to "Chimp My Ride" from Solano Brewing Company, a rich stout with chocolate and peanut butter notes that complemented the burger perfectly. It honestly brought back that childhood lunchbox feeling in the best way possible. On top of that, Chef Jamie personally brought out the food and took the time to connect--great conversation, great presence, and you can tell there's real pride behind what they're doing here. The vibe, the style, the food, and the people all come together here. Easy five stars. I'll definitely be back.

    Some of the best dining experiences aren't planned, they're discovered…read more With the thermometer climbing to 103 degrees, the Spain vs. France World Cup semifinal kicking off on the big screens, and a craving for an ice-cold craft beer, I wandered into Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom, a downtown Fairfield favorite that's been serving locals since 2017. Within minutes, I knew I'd found exactly where I wanted to spend a hot summer afternoon. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between neighborhood tavern and craft beer destination. Vintage bicycles hang overhead, dozens of rotating taps line the wall, and the energy is lively without ever feeling chaotic. Whether you're catching the match, meeting friends after work, or simply escaping the summer heat, Rustwater has that welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay for another round. Following the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the Chicken Ciabatta from the specials board with a side of crispy tater tots, and it was absolutely the right call. The sandwich arrived beautifully presented on a perfectly toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of crunch. Inside was juicy grilled chicken layered with smoky bacon, melted provolone, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and a flavorful pesto mayo that brought everything together without overpowering the fresh ingredients. Every bite delivered a wonderful combination of textures and balanced flavors. The tater tots were exactly what great tavern food should be, golden, crisp, and light on the outside with a fluffy interior. They became downright addictive when dipped into a combination of ketchup and a Ghost Hot Sauce that once they are out they are out adding a slow-building kick that complemented the crispy potatoes perfectly. As I enjoyed a cold pint from their outstanding rotating tap list, Spain put the finishing touches on a 2-0 victory over France, sending them to the World Cup Final. Great soccer, an exceptional craft beer, and a fantastic lunch, it doesn't get much better than that on a scorching summer afternoon. Rustwater has earned its reputation over the years, and it's easy to understand why. Friendly service, an outstanding craft beer program, elevated tavern food, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger long after the final whistle. If you're looking for one of downtown Fairfield's best spots to enjoy creative tavern fare, explore an ever-changing lineup of craft beers, and catch the big game, Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom deserves a place on your list. I'll definitely be back to see what's on tap next, and without question, those crispy tater tots will be making another appearance on my table with the ghost hot sauce, if still available, due to the company going out of business.

The restaurant was exceptionally clean, and the staff maintained a positive, upbeat attitude while providing prompt and courteous service, along with some nice background music. A well-run dining room always sets expectations, and this location delivered. I ordered the Charburger with cheese, french fries, and a fountain drink. One feature that stood out was the thoughtfully stocked condiment station, offering a variety of hot sauces and fresh peppers that allow guests to personalize their meal, an often overlooked touch that enhances the overall dining experience. The french fries arrived fresh from the fryer with an appealing golden color, a crisp exterior, and a light, fluffy interior, so I could tell the oil was fresh and changed regularly. The portion size was generous and complemented the meal well. The Charburger was prepared to a mediumrare finish, producing a juicy bite with the distinctive chargrilled flavor that has become Habit's signature. While the beef patty was somewhat modest in size, the quality of the cook more than compensated. Crisp shredded lettuce, melted cheese, and mayo added freshness and balance without overwhelming the burger's smoky flavor. Overall, this location delivered a consistently well executed meal at a very fair price. Cleanliness, attentive service, quality preparation, and strong value make this Habit Burger Grill a worthwhile stop for anyone seeking a satisfying, wellcrafted fast casual burger.

Yet, they really should tell customers that their value boxes are sort of a rip off. I know they can't do that. Yet they really should call it a children's meal. The portion is ridiculously small!!! Much smaller than a kids meal at McDonald's!!! there's almost no lettuce or vegetables in the sandwich. I got the chicken Caesar wrap. Plus, they don't tell you that you have to specify sweet potato fries. Even though it's in the picture that they're advertising. They don't ask you what you want. They definitely could do a better job of explaining it. I would've just ordered a regular size chicken sandwich. Especially since I was starving. This is why I don't go to Habit Burger. Typically they're overpriced and they give you small portions. They definitely need to do better. I only gave a one star based on the misleading picture... they advertise. The service was really ok.

We had reservations just because it was mothers day and we knew it would be busy and it was. We got there a little early and sat down right away. The place has plenty of outside and inside seating. When we sat down a waiter came right away and asked if we wanted water and told us our waiter would be right with us. Our waiter came shortly after that and asked what we wanted to drink. We ordered a bottle a sparkling wine. We ordered the poutine fries to start. The bottle of sparkling came out right away. The poutine came out not to long after that. The short rib was tender and juicy, the fries were cooked perfect, the cheese on it was melted, but it needed some gravy and more cheese. The original Canadian poutine has the gravy on it and the cheese curds which are so delicious. If this had the gravy on it, it would be a 10 in my book because of the short ribs and the fries were perfect. For our entrees we ordered the short rib eggs benedict and the chicken & waffles. The food came out pretty quick which was nice. The short rib eggs benedict was cooked perfect. Of course the short ribs was tender, and the hollandaise sauce was nice. The chicken and waffles was cooked perfect, the flavor on both was nice, the chicken was tender and juicy. The must have brined the chicken in order for it to be so tender and juicy, if not, they did a great job either way. The waffles were also cooked perfect and they had some type of flavor to it that you didn't even need syrup. I observed the staff working and everyone was working together and bringing stuff and picking up from all the tables. Kudos to the whole staff. Our waiter was also great so good job to him as well. We were too stuffed for dessert so next time we shall try some. The 5 was close to getting it but the poutine just needed some gravy in my opinion.
