  • Parthenon is my favorite Greek restaurant. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly.

    -- Dave Chen

  • We live in the neighborhood and eat there regularly. The food is delicious and consistently well prepared. The service is wonderful. Going there is an enjoyable night out. Not too loud, yet still festive.

    -- Ross D Lewin

  • The Parthenon is my go-to local restaurant for dining outdoors or inside at the bar. I love the wide range of dishes, from vegetarian Greek dishes to very reasonably priced gyro plates with tzatziki, salad, and fries. The cold mezze plate is great and the swordfish is superb. Don't miss the crabcakes which I think are the best in DC -- all crabmeat, no breadcrumbs, and delicious taste. When I want a treat I get a dinner with one crabcake and one soft shell crab. The Greek wines are very good and reasonably priced. I love the fact the restaurant is family owned and run, and the staff is very attentive and friendly.

    -- Bill Geary

  • Been wanting to visit this restaurant for a few years but finally got the chance to do it. Visited for lunch and it was AWESOME. Food was great and so was the atmosphere on the front serving area. The experience was great and my server, Junior, was a treat! He made it that more of an entertaining experience and I thank him for his service and attention. When you visit, ask for Junior, he will take care of you!! Thanks, Parthenon Team!! See you next time!
