- AAudraNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 13, 2024My best friend and I had an awesome experience. Im not sure we’ve been back to Athos since the new management but everything was the same if not better. I had the grilled octopus which was a huge tentacle of deliciousness and the salmon scallopini and ended with the loukomathes traditional. We started with two cocktails with our appetizers and went with a bottle of the Dark Matter. My friend had the fried calamari and moussaka ending with the chocolate mouse. And two double espressos. It’s been a rough year so it felt nice to go out like we used to and have a yuppie meal. The meal was exceptional and the service was the same thanks to our server Hannah as well as the other staff. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was just what we needed to pull us out of our slump. I felt like I was back in Greece for two hours!More infoAthos RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Greek• Albany•4.6
