"Mom and I always enjoy our dinner out at Parthenon. Food is hearty and well prepared, and the service is always good. We have never tried items from the cold appetizer menu, but they seem to be popular, seeing how much they are ordered by neighboring tables. The last time there was uncharacteristically noisy, but it may be due to the cold weather drawing diners who would normally eat on the patio out front indoors. The crowd is usually mature, with few children at least fewer than nearby Clyde's, but family groups are not out of the normal"

We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. We especially love dining outside in the spring. We are repeat customers and will definitely be back again.

This is a real neighborhood find. The service and ambience were very good. The wine list was nice and priced well. The food was good, local Greek cuisine. Priced accordingly. Would recommend and would go back. View menu

We go to Parthenon for its grilled octopus which is to die for, the horiatiki salad, and the bread. The house white wine is not bad either. I've tried the lamb (generous portion) which is good, but since we are not big eaters, we always go back to the grilled octopus.

Food is always well prepared and yummy. Great wait staff; many long-timers who will recognize you and be accommodating. Popular with nearby Chevy Chase DC residents as well as residents of nearby retirement home and their families. I know they have some kind of party room on lower level, but I haven't seen it for myself.

The Parthenon has been serving traditional Greek food at this location for decades. The restaurant serves reliably well-prepared Greek cuisine. We dined at lunch on avgolemono soup, pastitcio, chicken souvlaki, and an omlette of tomato and feta. The soup was the closest recipe to match my Greek grandmother's homemade avgolemono that I have ever had. The meals were tasty and filling. Service was attentive. View menu

We absolutely adore this restaurant! During our most recent visit, we organized a surprise party for a dear friend here last week. The staff, in addition to providing excellent overall service, went above and beyond to help us execute the surprise, including fetching our friend from the bar and sneaking over a birthday cake. They were incredibly friendly, kind, and just fantastic. The food was top-notch and as delicious as ever. We highly recommend this restaurant for both casual outings and special occasions!

My mother and I love dining at Parthenon. The food is delicious and satisfying, and the service is consistently excellent. While we haven't sampled anything from the cold appetizer menu, it seems to be a popular choice among other diners. During our last visit, it was unusually noisy, possibly because the cold weather had forced patrons who typically dine on the patio to eat indoors. The crowd at Parthenon is generally mature, with fewer children than at nearby Clyde's, although families do dine there as well.
