What People Are Saying About Athenian Inn

The Editor

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.

Trust me on this one.

by desterfrankieyoubet

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.

  • Pros: New Touches

do not get the oysters they are not fresh.

by MartinFranklinTN

We were fornatute enough to have a waitperson that told us that they are not fresh oysters so we did not get them. wWe did get the Crab cacktail and it was wonderful. Nice view, ask for a window seat.

  • Pros: great view
  • Cons: According to staff some of the food not of the highest caliber.
