    The management team was unable to properly manage reservations, no place to stand while waiting, immature operations system, extremely long wait for small portion sizes & mediocre (at best) food. Took forever to get drinks while waiting forever for our food. We were extremely disappointed & will not return. Same experience for many adjacent tables.

    Great food, great vibe. Pleased to see it so busy. Could do with some fabric/noise cancelling. You’ll have a great experience here.

    Some of the food choices were not particularly authentic Greek dishes as we have had on visits to Greece. Staff friendly and professional and worked very hard

    Excellent service and really good food. Wine pours were on the small side but otherwise a great meal.

    Parthenon is a fantastic addition to the dining scene, blending modern elegance with traditional Greek charm. The vaulted ceilings and expansive wall mirrors create an open, airy ambiance that immediately draws you in. The decor feels thoughtfully curated, offering a sense of grandeur without being overwhelming. The staff was exceptionally attentive, striking the perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. As for the food, it was a true highlight—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic Greek flavors. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a special occasion, Parthenon delivers a memorable dining experience at very reasonable prices.

    Avoid this restaurant. Visiting San Francisco from the UK, made a reservation at this restaurant and were turned away despite having booked!!! The reason we were given is that there was also a party of 18 that had booked and they no longer had room for us. I understand we were only a party of 4, however they should never have accepted the booking if they could not accommodate!!! Terrible service!
