This was my first time eating Greek food, and I was pleasantly surprised. A co-worker and I drove over to the mall to look for something to eat, found the Athos on Yelp, and decided to give it a try. Before you come out to the restaurant be sure to dress up a bit. I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts and felt way underdressed. I don't think the person who sat us thought much of us since he sat us in the very back of the restaurant. =/
Anyway, we had the Spanakopita as an appetizer. It was very surprising. I don't particularly like spinach or leeks, but it was tasty! I ordered the KaKavia for my entree. It was delicious! The fish, shrimp, and scallops were fresh, and the broth was amazing.
The restaurant itself is pretty cool. It has a very homey feel to it. When you walk in, you feel like you're walking into someone's house. The glass panel on the floor allows you to view the wine cellar in the basement too (which was nice touch).
After eating at so many less-than stellar places in Albany, it was nice to find Athos. If you ever come to Albany and want to get away from the restaurants near the projects, check out Athos. read more
