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.

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

My wife and I had a 50th wedding anniversary dinner here at the Athens. We can honestly say it was a great night the food was great and the staff were excellent with Steve on the Mike singing what a night. Thank you all at the Athens restaurant for a very memorable night.

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.

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!

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.

Came here for our Grand Flowers Christmas party (in January!) and had an absolutely brilliant time! They welcomed us in, the food was amazing (I'm a veggie and it was lovely and the rest of my party said they were the best steaks they'd ever had!) it was honestly one of the best restaurants I've been too! I'm going to book again for my birthday, Look forward to coming back! Thanks!

Thank you for your response to an earlier post. Remaining silent up to this point, I have had time to consider my response in light of yours. Arguing on the internet and fabricating events is very grown up and you should give yourself a clap. You have no manners and I hope you take my following statement in the spirit it's intended.
On the 22nd of February my girlfriend and I were looking for somewhere to eat with another couple. It was quite late and there wasn’t many places still open. Thankfully (so we thought) we saw that The Athens Restaurant was open. We arrived with an open mind, however we quickly felt like we were being forgot about. After ordering, we received the food and was blown away by the mediocre dishes presented to us. One of the four of us did not enjoy her meal. Whilst beginning to pay ,the staff acted very unprofessionally and ganged up 3 to 1 on her in protest to her problem. Lamb chops should be tender and not rubbery for the chefs information. We paid £65 for three incredibly averagely cooked meals and one sub standard one. Beer from a cheap brand can, wine and rum and coke presented in smeared dish washer clean glasses (I hope they were clean). Was it any surprise we not happy. Whilst trying to leave after paying, the below average staff openly argued with us and followed shouting after us. The older man told us “to buer off” in view of the only group left in the restaurant near the door. The problem is the staff took our grievance as a personal insult which in business you can never do. Not listening to a customers problem, however infrequently they happen (this in itself is surprising to me), is a major problem to any business. Take it on board and move on. Do not jump down the throat of the complainer and chase them out the premises shouting at them. 3 out of the 4 staff members we dealt with were unprofessional and need business management and customer relations lessons. That's coming from someone who has successfully operated for over 10 years in a self employed capacity. If I treated any customer like the Athens Restaurant treated us I’d be ashamed of myself. In any business you can improve and getting friends of the restaurant to write counter argument shows a lack of respect for other peoples valid opinions.
Unprofessional and poor.
