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 great Greek meal.

What a little Gem this restaurant is. Authentic delicious food, all made from scratch. Large portions and very kind friendly staff. We will be back. Thank you

Although extremely busy the food was delivered within a reasonable time and was well worth waiting for as it tasted great. I was very impressed. It was unusual getting gravy with a mixed grill but I loved it!

Went to Athens tonight as a date night where should I begin
Starters beautifully presented and delicious only thing I wish was that I got a photo to share but no faults here
Mains as the picture's the lamb was perfectly cooked falling off the bone the way I would hope it would the rice and potatoes complemented perfectly and the lasagna had amazing flavours was perfect
Desert we had the red velvet cheese cake, twice.
again the texture and consistency was on point that ended up getting a 2nd helping presentation was also fantastic
Wine went with the house special was a white wine I would strongly recommend was great to taste and wasn't to heavy
Staff.. well fantastic, great communication, was not pushy at all, kind, considerate and also very informative great recommendations
All in all perfect experience and look forward to returning when the father in law comes to visit 10/10 thank you guys

We had a wonderful meal here last night. Helen was amazing, made us feel really welcome with her wonderful service. The food was lovely, we had the souvlaki and stiffado, plus bread and a few beers. The food was obviously cooked with love! Can highly recommend.

Unlike a recent reviewer (and I appreciate that reviews are of personal opinion), I would highly recommend Athens in Eastbourne (UK).
This visit was my first (of many I hope) and we were there for a friends birthday celebration.
Food: The food I received was amazing, mixed dips and pitta, then Kleftiko (Lamb Shank), absolutely amazing! Others had different dishes and all said the same.
Staff: very friendly, attentive and helpful.
Atmosphere: Lovely feel to the place, lots of pictures on the walls, 2 toilets upstairs, and then the man started singing, which was great for that party vibe, even got a couple of songs in myself which was great.
Overall, a great night and a 5 star experience, well deserved.
