Saw a familiar face at the new Athens Cafe 🇬🇷

Someone recently posted about the folks who used to run Santorini Grill opening a new place called Athens Cafe.

I went to check it out Saturday night and it is indeed the same lady who I remember serving me at Santorini Grill a couple years ago.

She goes by Cassie and said they’ve been open three weeks. It’s in the shopping center at Mopac and Wells Branch Parkway between Pizza Hut and The Rolling Roster.

I had the Greek Salad w/ chicken souvlaki and it was fantastic. I also wanted to order the chicken soup but she said it was on the house so I graciously accepted. This has to be one of my favorite soups in town, the lemon hits just right. It was my fav at Santorini Grill as well.

I was trying to eat light to counter all the holiday party calories but a couple came in and ordered the Saganaki and Moussaka which looked really good, too. Before I left Cassie dropped off some complementary desert fritters, just like I remembered her doing at the last place.

I’m sorry to say the place was almost totally empty at 7:30 on a Saturday night so hopefully things pick up for them.
