Athens Cafe - Jacksonville

Athens Cafe is the best for authentic Greek cuisine in Jacksonville. My family and I love being greeted by Stella when we come to Din. Your staff is friendly and welcoming. They always try to offer a fantastic service (loving to see Klaert's smile face) and the atmosphere is excellent. If you happen to go to a late dinner on a Friday night, they have a fantastic belly dance show that will certainly delight. You have a wide selection of spirits, wines and beer to combine with the delicious food. Make yourself a favor next time you want to take your SO off for a special evening and go out this place.

I love the atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious! they have entertainment from Thursday saturday. I went on a Saturday when they have live piano music and it really added to the atmosphere. that is a great small classic date point or place to take a very small gathering. 10/10!!!

Your website does not work, so no order for collection. The gyros were great, hard to screw up a sandwich. Ordnete the grilled Calamari, rubber and NO spices and pieces of cuttlebone still in it, the Spanakopita tasted either very old or canned Spinat. I don't know how such a classic Greek dish can taste so bad.

Best Moussaka I've ever had. The grape leaves are amazing- again, best I ever had. The Gyros are from the charts. But what really fell in love with this place is the ambience. The team here is warm and makes you feel like family. The owners come around and talk to everyone. The live music on Friday is beautiful, just incredible musicians. This place has so much heart and the food is the best Greek food in the city.

It is said, you have to open many oysters before finding a Pearl. Tucked away from my own Awareness, die to the side of town I?ve always lived on, Athens Cafe the long standing Pearl of Jacksonville. It doesn?t scream for your attention, advertise with big budgets, nor try to sell some image of being more than what it is. Athens Café is authentic in its totality, from people, food, service, and environment. It is a humble,enchanting jewel, who commits to its art, its craft- making authentic Greek food with passion and love. Do what you do with love, all goodness will flow forward, right? That?s Athens cafe . The owner?s presence, greeting you at the door, was the same mirrored warmth felt throughout the entire evening by all staff. This is the second time in 8 years, I?ve given a restaurant in Jacksonville 5?s. My perception of dining comes from a background working high end restaurants growing up in Atlanta. If Athens Cafe was in Atlanta, you would need reservation a day in advance for lunch and dinner. The professionalism and overall hospitality made you feel like you were visiting a place where you were once remembered and missed. The Environment was nostalgic and enchanting, capturing all my senses. When I thought it could not get better, the food was absolutely amazing! From the presentation, portion, and the flavor. I almost forgot to capture a photo before my plate was wiped clean. Every moment of our experience at Athens Café was more splendid than the next. I wish I new social media, I would spread their greatness.
