Athens — Restaurant in Eastbourne

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Greek restaurant called Athens. The restaurant is located in the main street behind the pier and it has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they were happy to make recommendations.

I ordered the Tbone steak, and it was absolutely amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it was so tender that it melted in my mouth. The flavor was also incredible, and it was perfectly seasoned. I also tried the moussaka, and it was also delicious. The moussaka was creamy and flavorful, and it was a perfect portion size.

We also ordered a bottle of wine, and it was a perfect pairing with our meal. The wine was full-bodied and flavorful, and it really enhanced the flavors of the food.

Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience at Athens. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Greek meal.

Here are some additional details about my experience:

The restaurant was quiet when we went in, but it filled up quickly. I would recommend making a reservation, especially if you are dining on a weekend night.

The food took a little longer than expected to come out, but it was worth the wait.

The restaurant has a small outdoor patio, which would be a great option for dining al fresco on a warm day.

Overall, I had a very positive experience at Athens. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a...

I came here with my partner tonight and was really excited for him to experience it, as I’d had a lovely meal here about 10 years ago. It started fine, we hadn’t booked but they got us seated anyway. We ordered a starter to share and our mains. The starter took about 30 minutes (a bowl of houmus and some pitta, how does that take 30 mins??) the main took 50 minutes. I’m not too bothered about the wait, but the incredibly RUDE waitress is a problem! Whilst we waited 3 other tables that came in after us got their meals before us, the waitress told us we were next, yet 2 others tables got their meals before we did…my partner asked politely how long it would be and was told ‘you can see we are busy, and you didn’t book’ then when she finally brought out meals out she waved the plates on her way over as if to say ‘here you go’ when paying the bill I mentioned this rude woman to the woman taking our payment who was a bit more polite but still abrupt, saying ‘oh you mean my sister?’ It’s such a shame the staff here haven’t grasped how to treat customers, horrible atmosphere, definitely won’t return and highly advise avoiding this place! You get better service...

If you’re looking for an authentic, traditional and tasty Greek restaurant- Avoid! The food was basically bland, we ordered Chicken Souvlaki and Greek salad, souvlaki was extremely dry and unseasoned, very far from what we tried during our holidays in Greece, and the salad? Pure profanation of Greek cuisine! Two small olives, some red onion and tomatoes, little piece of feta cheese and mix of leaf salad (which made up most of the salad served in a baby size bowl). However, ironically the food is not your biggest problem, it’s poor customer service and lack of manners. I honestly never experienced such a thing in any restaurant! After consuming our food me and my mom headed to the exit while my dad was paying our bill. One of your servers literally yelled at me in front of other guests accusing me of going out without paying! I felt absolutely terrible and embarrassed as everyone in the restaurant looked at us with contempt and the server didn’t even apologise! Rude! The waiting time and cleaning standard leave a lot to be desired, I’d recommend going to Subway or McDonald’s instead, saved your...
