What People Are Saying About Athenian Inn

In Short
The dive-like atmosphere of this Pike Place favorite harkens back to the gritty days of old Seattle. Grizzled regulars take seats at the lunch counter or the long bar; others sit in creaky wooden booths in the upstairs loft and enjoy uninterrupted views of the Sound and mountains. The menu offers diner classics with a local twist: oyster omelets, mussel soup, clam cakes and salmon and chips, as well as grilled fish from the Market.

well worth the wait though...Crab cakes and the Athenian seafood bowl is what i suggest. They had something on the specials called "garlic spears" i wasn't brave enough to try it though...the server said everyone loves them. And the VIEW! you have to try this place.....

This establishment is being turned around by new management. The best change, of coarse was the menus. Instead of a 10 page menu of food that hasn't been ordered in years, into a nice 4 page menu that you will find in most places. The food is indeed improved as well, which was important. I feel like this place will continue to get better improvements as time go's on.

This restaurant is well-known for its appearance in the movie Sleepless in Seattle. It should also be well-known for its great homemade food and great views of the Puget Sound. I highly recommend it.
