Best WLM Reviews
An unexpected gem. With a beautiful dining room, friendly staff, and amazing food, I'll be back regularly. So glad I gave them a try. I highly recommend the Beef Souvlaki!
Our first visit at Athenian Owl was getting a snack to-go last week. Not only was the food noteworthy but George also made us feel welcomed and that's why we doubled back next week and vowed to get lunch.
Entrees are a good size and come with soup or salad, plus they give you bread and olive oil at the table.
The decor is elegant and fun. Beautiful white marble bar and a collection of owls throughout the restaurant.
Be sure to ask the server about the daily special, and don't ask for hot sauce.
Had a gyro with fries. The food and service were both very good. Will be back to try more of the menu!
Update: went again tonight. Hummus and pita were amazing. The pita is thinner than I'm used to, but the texture and flavor were amazing. The Greek salad hit the spot, and I'm not usually impressed by salads.
We were passing through Jacksonville and stopped in for a quick dinner. This friendly little spot was the perfect place for our dinner. They have several Greek wines to choose from and the server described them accurately. They are able to make certain dishes GF and vegan.
I had the chicken souvlaki with rice. It was GF. The chicken was tender and so flavorful. My daughter had the chicken pita wrap with fries and loved it. We also ordered an eggplant dish that was flavorful and GF.
I don’t normally comment on staff- but the staff seemed so happy and made the experience enjoyable. We will definitely return when in the area.
Incredible. Delicious food and superb service! Authentic, and cooked per feed cult. Full of flavor, and a wonderfully full menu of classic Greek dishes. The Avgolemono soup was served hot, and full of creamy lemon base and chicken. Baked chicken was tender. The lemon and mushroom sauce was amazing. Fresh bread basket and wonderful olive oil/oregano dip was awesome. Can’t wait to return!
This place was amazing. The owner and servers were so friendly. I tried the Greek coffee
Which was nice and strong. We shared the lamb shank, lemon chicken soup and the house-made bread. The lamb had an amazing flavor and felt like a healthier option. I want to come back and try the baklava cheesecake!
In JAX for the weekend and the wife loves Greek food so we ubered out to Athenian Owl for dinner. The atmosphere and decor was very authentic and the greeters were warm and freindly. Our server, not so much, and always seemed to be in a hurry. Saganaki appetizer was good and the salads were legit. My wife had a chicken dish and I had lamb and we both commented how small the serving size was and how little meat we actually got. We left a little hungry and will probably try other Greek restaurants in the area next time we are in JAX.
Very wonderful & authentic experience! The hostess got us a table for 4 right away without a reservation on a Friday night. Had the most delicious roasted lamb pita sandwich! My husband the beef souvlaki, he loved it. Fresh wonderful ingredients. I would not order the pasta with Greek meatsauce for your kid though if they don't like cinnamon & nutmeg in their meat. The servers were fantastic.
