Athena Greek - Amityville

DISCLAIMER: I rarely write reviews and never thought I 'd take the time to write a negative one. However, my recent experience at Athena left me no choice but to tell my story. Backstory For two decades, my family has been consistent Athena customers. The food is very good and we enjoy eating Greek. Unfortunately, a shadow hangs over this place stemming solely from the owner, Mike (AKA Satan 's Spawn), whose repugnant and reprehensible reign of terror has reached the point of no return. Stepping into his restaurant creates a sense of dread and anxiety. Walking on eggshells around Mike has isn 't anything new, as his temper flares at the slightest inconvenience, whether it 's a simple question about the menu or his palpable frustration as he takes down your order. As if dealing with this abrasive, prima donna was the only tax one had to pay for your meal, the last year 3 years or so, our to go orders are incorrect about 75% of the time. The best part: Mike blames the mistake on you, never accepting accountability. And he makes you wait a half hour while the order is prepared, all the while your original order gets cold and soggy. And as I 'm sure you guessed, you always pay full price. Those entering the restaurant will unquestionably notice the somber atmosphere within the dining room a direct result of Mike 's brooding, irascible demeanor. Clearly, his behavior has driven away customers who 'd much prefer to dine in than have to deal with his tantrums. Recent Events While the food at Athena has been the primary reason for our loyalty, our recent encounter was the final straw. We put in a to go order for a family member 's birthday and this again turned into an absolute fiasco two of the entrees we ordered were simply forgotten. (We obviously learned to check the bag before leaving) Rather than taking responsibility for the error, Mike predictably shifted the blame onto us, again demanding full payment and subjecting to us to a 30 minute wait. TL:DR Mike from Athena is a gaping a$$hole and he does not deserve your business.

As a first time customer and having read many of the reviews.... I agree with the foods flavor (chicken Slovaki) being great. The unfortunate part was when my simple request of asking can the chicken be chopped smaller please , I was met with that 's not possible, the size is how it 's prepared and nothing can be done about that ..... I went there because of great reviews....Good food bad Service

Consistently amazing. The Greek salads and hummus sampler are our favorites!

Great restaurant. Dine in or take out. Always fresh food. I highly recommend this place.
