The Parthenon, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

Love this place! My husbands family has a day after thanksgiving tradition of going in as a family and eating a ton of appetizers until we are stuffed. Everything is always great and we get awesome service from Salvatore every year.

Food is amazing. Always a great time!

Food:

Recently dined for restaurant week. Food portions were significantly large and plenty of food to take home... for restaurant week diners you will definitely get your moneys worth.

To start we were brought a plate of gyro meat and cucumbuer sauce as I like to call it... OUTSTANDING and perfectly cooked gyro.. slightly crispy is how I like it. The cucumber sauce was well whipped and thick which gave you the feeling that you were fine dinging. The next plate we obtained was the famous greek cheese and an ample OPA followed - cheese was perfect on the hot plate but slightly chewy for my liking. 2 soup options... the lemon rice soup and the beef stew... i recommend the beef stew due to the lustrous flavor of the tomato broth but for a lighter option the lemon soup will due. A greek salad followed which was nothing out of the ordinary however the olives were on point!. For my main entree I tried the braised lamb... BEST COOKED LAMB i've had in a long time... meat fell off the bone and was perfectly tender and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Deserts - Try the chocolate mouse cake and THE BAKLAVA -- the waiter was generous and offered us to do a split half and half so you could try 2 deserts for the price of 1...

Restaurant was very clean, our waiter was very nice and generous who offered a fair share of honest opinions which is very important to me and he was not pushy at all. He made our dining experience very relaxing and even brought me a few cucumbers for my water!

Will definitely come back and in my opinion top spot in GREEKTOWN!

Food:

One of the better restaurants in Greektown. I came with a Groupon for a 5-course meal and every course was good but short of mindblowing. I recommend the flaming saganaki, especially if you love cheese. If you don't, order it for the experience of seeing your waiter set the cheese on fire and loudly yelling "Opa!" What a great way to start a meal.

The restaurant has a homey atmosphere, and coupled with the large portions, it's a good idea to come with a large group of friends and family. Also, there is free valet parking. This service can be slow on busy nights, but it's free after all.
