ATHENIAN ROOM

Greek Restaurant – Lincoln Park.

Flavor Scale (1-5): 3.0

This casual Greek restaurant in Lincoln Park offers a cozy, homey vibe, reminiscent of enjoying a great home-cooked meal. Just a heads-up—they’re cash-only, which we didn’t realize at first, but thankfully there’s an ATM in the connected building.

I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp meal, which came with seasoned fries and a side salad. While the shrimp and fries were decent, the salad was a bit disappointing, consisting mostly of a head of lettuce with large, bland vegetables. My friend tried the Chicken Breast Shish Kebab but wasn’t too impressed.

Overall, it’s a cute spot with good service and okay food. I’m glad we tried it, but I don’t think we’ll be returning.
