"First time here. I came in and nobody else was here except me and the owner. He asked if I wanted something to drink so I skied if they had Lebanese/rose water tea. To be fair, where I’m from these types of restaurants typically serve a combination of Greek and Lebanese foods. The owner got really offended and made sure I understood that this a Greek restaurant and not Lebanese. I said ok just asking and ordered a glass of water. So I start looking over the menu and most of the menu is Italia … – show"

Tried their new location for takeout and it was a great experience. The lamb gyro was delicious!

For first timers on a Saturday night everything was alright! Reasonable prices, quality food plus owner/manager walked around and chatted with people. View menu

8$ for 3 little pieces of meat. And i unfortunately ordered extra meat — so 16$ for this. Service was poor at best but I know this is a thankless job in a difficult industry so I always tip, even though this was takeout. But this is easily the worst Greek food restaurant I've been to. Welcome to my first night in Charleston.

We ordered spanakopita and moussaka both of which were not available. Tried the appetizer spanakopita was a disappointment— dry and tasteless. The chicken Gyro that I substituted for the moussaka chicken was in very large pieces and very dry and chewy. The extra tsatsiki that we ordered as a side was watery is if somebody poured some milk in sour cream plus we were charged for it. We’re sorry we didn’t speak up. We will never be coming back

The downsizing changed the menu/service and not for the better. The Greek potatoes are not available, the salad changed to $9 and the salad dressing was very watery and not same quality, the bread did not come with oil but more of a broth for dipping and we asked for oil and got it but without the extra seasonings. The pizza was great as usual. This has been our favorite restaurant. Have been a long time customer and enjoyed a lot of great meals. Thanks View menu

I can't believe I'm writing this review. I was excited to see Athens reopened in its new location. The customer service was A+, as it had been; however, the food, not so much!! I ordered the Chicken Gyro Platter and was extremely disappointed. The potatoes had little to no seasoning, and the chicken was flavorless, dry, and overcooked. I realize this is the first day, after a long absence, but this had been one of my favorite restaurants. I am truly heartbroken.

I have been a patron of Athens for the better part of 30 years now. Their pizza is among the best in Charleston. I now live more than 30 minutes away, but we are willing to make the drive just for their food. Athens recently moved to a new location, and we have been anxiously awaiting the chance to go get some Greek chicken and pizza. Since they re-opened we have tried on two separate occasions to call for takeout. Both times we have made several attempts to get through and we got a voice r … – show

"I just have one word that describes my experience here. WOW It was an absolute experience coming here. We were in town for my birthday and decided to eat here for my bday dinner/last night in Charleston. The vibe and atmosphere were classy, fun, and calming. They have a main bar area where you can grab a drink while you wait for a table and can be quite lively later in the evening. The dining rooms are towards the back, a lot quieter and more intimate so has a flavor for whatever you are into. The service was absolutely perfect. Our server (I wish I would have gotten her name she served our party of two at 10pm on Saturday 8/17) was so insanely friendly and personable. She knew her stuff and then some when it came to presenting the menu, but also would come chat with us and give us tips and recs for Charleston as she knew we were from out of town. They also gave us a free cheesecake and glasses of champagne on the house for our celebration. Just overall made us feel incredibly special and welcomed (we don't normally eat at places like this lol). The food, omg.....I am not overstating or being hyperbolic.......this was hands down without a doubt the greatest steak I have ever had in my life. Nothing even comes close. I had the Dry Aged Ribeye, and it has completely ruined steak for me because nothing will ever be that good. My girlfriend got the Filet, and it was in the same ballpark. Just legendary. We also got a side of the lobster Mac Cheese and it was fluffy with a perfect crust on top. Amazing flavor and texture. If you ever have the opportunity to dine, do yourself a favor and go. This was one of the best dinner experiences I have ever had. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience to the wait staff, the chef, servers, everyone there played a part and gave me a memory I will hold onto forever. Thank you!!"

"My fiancé and I were engaged on 12/22/17 and he planned our solemn dinner with Circa 1886, and it was nothing less amazing. Charles was our waiter and delivered the best service we had ever experienced. The next day we even called the restaurant to rave over our experience. The service was like a clockwork, but we were not rushed. Our glasses were never half empty and our cutlery was replaced by any course. We received free champagne regularly $34/glass) and customized congratulation menus to start the meal. All the questions we had on the menu were answered and Charles gave great suggestions for meals. I ordered the Intermezzo cocktail and my fiancée ordered the famous Scotch cocktail, both were great. We ordered the scallops and the beets and chèvre as starters. The scallops were cooked for perfection. Very buttery and melt in your mouth - I wish more than 2 came on the plate! The beet and the Chèvre were exquisite with cool goat cheese sauce. We ate every bite. 2 bite-sized free snacks were provided by the cook - one was a spoon with a cheese cube, almond and cherry, the other was a divided Lima bean soup. YUM. As for dinner, my fiancée did the 5 courses tasting menu beef pate, heirloom tomato salad, pheasant, lamb, pumpkin soap) and he enjoyed everything. The portions were generous and Charles gave me additional plates so that I could choose the different dishes. I ordered the triple potato gratin I am vegetarian and it was from this world. Very sweet and delicious. Charles then surprised me with a free dessert course of the Smores). Both plates were decorated with congratulations in chocolate - it was a very special note. When we included the $200 check with a generous tip) we felt like the experience and the food was worth 100% the money. We will definitely be back and would recommend everyone and everyone."
