    It was the worst dining experience I have ever had! It ruined our Valentines day totally. We had a 9pm reservation. We arrived a bit early. We were told our table would be ready around 9. We went to the the bar to wait. At the bar, it took 30 minutes to order our drinks. Finally, we got a table at about 9:45ish. Events, we placed our order. A couple next to us finished their order and left. A few minutes later, another couple was seated. We sat there starving by this time. Low and behold, the new couple next to us were served their food. We were starving and fed up. We left to get our dinner elsewhere. I'm still missed off.

    Normally I would give, and have given, Athos a 5 out of 5. This is a review of Valentine's Day and will never go again on a holiday. The food was very good, but the entire experience was terrible! For starters, they were extremely and oddly so overbooked it was beyond belief. We waited 30 minutes in a crowd for our reserved table, not the end of the world, but people were lined up against the walls etc. We got to the bar to get a drink while we waited for our table and it took at least 15 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge our existence and had to carry our drinks to the table to finish. We were confirmed for a table in the main dining room and ended up in a room upstairs that was not particularly well appointed, good thing we didn't need an accessible table, and felt shoved in a spare room. Our server was sweet, but clearly the evening was understaffed and she was terribly inattentive. We never got water, each course came without the table being cleared and we had to pile up our own dishes. We asked for dessert menus, and after 30 minutes of waiting, grabbed someone to get our check so we could leave. When we went downstairs at 9:15 after a 7pm reservation, people were still packed in and lined up waiting. We will never go back on a holiday, it was ridiculously overbooked, service poor at best, the only saving grace was that the food was very good, othewise I would have given 1 star all around.

    My wife was given a long stem red rose upon entry. The food was all done to perfection! The staff was very attentive and friendly. Looks like it's going to be an annual tradition.

    While fairly expensive for Mediterranean food, it was well worth it. No hurried and enjoyable, we will definitely return with friends and family.
