I hadn't been to The Parthenon in 20 years or so, and was surprised at how much nicer it was. The neighborhood has really improved also. I have to say, I miss the rowdiness of the old place, but we had a great dinner, for a very reasonable price. I had chicken stuffed with spinach and feta, that was a... more

We had lived in Chicago and started going to the Parthenon in the 60's. The food was great, the staff friendly and welcoming to our small children. The children were transfixed by the dramatic flaming saganaki; the atmosphere was cheerful. We had moved away 30 years ago, but on each return we were never disappointed. We returned this week and... more

Our party consisted of 18 people, and we had a really nice time at the Parthenon. The service was good. As others have mentioned, the flaming cheese is quite a production to watch, and it seemed that most tables near up ordered this appetizer.

The best food I've ever eaten. We ordered the family style vegetarian meal. There was so much food (3 people) we were stuffed and took home a shopping bag full of food that we ate for dinner the next day. The staff was great. Greek food made by real Greeks. Get the flaming cheese appetizer for a fun show- OOMPA! more

I've been here quite a few times since moving up to Chicago. The food is always top notch. Sometimes the service can be slow, but it's always busy when I eat here. I've never had to wait for a table, and everyone who works there is pleasant. Love the atmosphere: it feels like you're part of the family. Be sure... more

Just ate at the Parthenon with a large group. The food was excellent. The service was very good. The only problem was that the food was not very hot, but i suspect that is because we had a large group. The atmosphere is a bit bright for my taste, but the food was very good and we had a great... more
