Parthenon was delicious! Sometimes Greek food can be hit or miss and this restaurant was definitely a hit. It seemed like the two people running the restaurant were an old married couple. They were super sweet and were extremely attentive to what we needed including extra plates or silverware. We got the spanakopita for an appetizer and split mousaka (eggplant and potatoes with ground beef in a bed of sauce). We also got the baklava which was one of the best bakalava's I've ever had. Highly recommend!

After seeing so many positive reviews, we decided to give this place a try. As soon as you walk in you have an immediate feeling you stepped into the set of "Big Fat Greek Wedding"! Family run business and soon you are made to feel like one of them. Sophia talked to us for quite awhile about how she came to open the restaurant 40 years ago! So we both decided to order the gyro platter. We took some baklava to go! Let's just say we will be back! Oh, will probably order the pizza too cause that looked and smelled wonderful!

I stopped in here for lunch on a weekday after reading about them on social media and seeing so many positive reviews. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the amazing smell of pizza being baked and it really tempted me to switch my lunch plans from a healthy Greek salad to pizza, but I stuck with my initial desire to order salad. I sat down and was greeted by an older gentleman (owner?) who was very helpful and knowledgeable about their menu and the ingredients (example: I saw "black olives" on the menu as coming with the salad I wanted, but didn't want those little California black olives that are typically put on pizza, so I asked and he explained these come from Spain and are a lot bigger, which they were). He even brought me a sample of olives to try and they were really good. I also wanted some tzatziki, as this is something I prefer to try at every Mediterranean restaurant. The tzatziki was amazing! Yogurt was thick and it was loaded with tasty garlic, perfect amount of seasonings and fresh cucumbers. The salad I chose was their Greek salad and I asked for grille chicken to go on top, so he grilled up some souvlaki and put it on top. The chicken was very tasty, fresh and grilled perfectly. It was all breast meat and it tasted great and there were a lot of pieces for my salad. The salad itself was pretty good. I prefer the thicker (more emulsified) Greek dressing, but this had had a lot of flavor, as it had plenty of herbs in it. The only thing is they use raw rings of white onion cut in half, which are rather pungent, but I cut them up smaller to have a small amount in each bite. The lettuce and all the veggies in the salad were very fresh. The place was really clean and felt like a homely, family restaurant... especially with the family mural on the wall. The restroom was tiny, but again, very clean. Service was great. I asked the owners how long they've been here, they said 40 year! How awesome! I'll definitely return and I'll be ordering pizza on my next trip!
