I just had lunch at the Athenian Inn Restaurant. As a local here in Seattle I have tried a good deal of the restaurants in the Pike Place area, and I have to say, this one was absolutely, positively horrible. I went during lunch and was stunned to sit down to a 200-item menu. After about 10 minutes of mulling through their gigantic selection (which is not a good thing, by the way) I selected the Crab Salad Sandwich. What I got back (in less than 3 minutes... also not a good sign) was a lump of cold crab, celery and cheap mayo mixture on two pieces of what had to be thick WonderBread. It was tasteless, the texture was gross, the presentation was horrible, and to top it off it cost about $3.00 more than it should have (the sandwich was around $5.00). My friend, whom I ate with at the restaurant, got a pastry stuffed with cheese and ham, which was also not only tiny but grotesque in presentation and flavor. I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone. If you are hungry, and there is nothing else open (IE Lowell's right next door) grab some fresh fruit from across the hallway and be on your way. Trust me, you'll be MUCH better off. Someone should buy out this restaurant, gut it and make it a landmark restaurant. Right now it's just a waste of space and an embarrassment to Pikes Place Market.

I too took part in the mayhem and great times we had with "Ozzie" the bartender and the rest of the staff. Very friendly, very gracious, and just a terrific atmosphere. We all had a great time, twice. I returned two years later and they remembered us. We did make a "little" noise. A must stop when you're in Seattle.

We LOVED this place. It had the BEST seafood bisque that we have EVER had. The service was outstanding. We were in Seattle a little over a week and went to this place 3 times -twice just for the soup alone.

History was made on Friday,June7,2002 when a loud group of 21 New Yorkers descended on the unsuspecting patrons and employees of the Athenian Inn in Seattle.Singing "God Bless America" and chanting Ozzie,Ozzie in honor of Gordie, the bartender, this group won over the locals to the point where they joined in on the revelry.This motley crew had so much fun they returned on Saturday for more mayhem,including another chorus of God Bless America and finishing with God Bless Ozzie.I know because I was one of the them.Many thanks to Louise,the owner,and to Gordie aka Doc,but now known as OZZIE(hope you like your new name)for putting up with us!We LOVE Seattle!

Great character bar in the Pike Place Market. Fantastic selection of bottled beers from around the world. Wide range of people and prices & some unusual food selections. Limited selection of draft beers. Huge choice of cocktails. Best way to enjoy is at the stand up bar. Order one, turn around & enjoy the view of water & mountains. Ask for Gordie (bartender).
