Lonely Planet review for Parthenon

This veteran has anchored Greektown for three decades, hearing countless yells of ‘Opa’ to accompany the flaming saganaki (sharp, hard cheese cut into wedges or squares and fried). Greeks returning to the city from their suburban retreats have made the Parthenon a favorite. Vegetarians and gluten-free eaters will find lots of options, all marked on the extensive menu. A plus for drivers: there’s free valet service.

    parthenon was one of the highlights of our chicago visit. it's almost difficult to choose, since there are so many greek restaurants lined up in this area. the parthenon did not disappoint. service was attentive, warm and inviting - our server was incredibly funny and knew when to be on hand and when to give us our privacy.

    we ordered the family style special for 2, which was an excellent deal at only $19.95 per person. small dishes kept coming out and being placed in front of us, each so delicious. it was truly a treat and wonderful to enjoy family style, which i think is done very well by the restaurant. go for the enjoyable experience and prepare to relax there for a nice long, filling, delicious experience.

    Admittedly very good Greek food, very close to what one would eat in a restaurant in Greece. A little exaggerated the whole "opa" thing. Very good service! One of the best Greek restaurants in the Greek town.
