Athenian Room

Athenian Room is a Chicago institution located in Lincoln Park. I had a hankering for some Greek food then other night, so decided to come here as I haven't...

Athenian Room is a favorite! We've eaten here in the past -- over 20 years ago! -- and now are glad to come back when we visit our daughter in Chicago. For...

[Warning, they are cash only] but the food, oh my goodness it was Amazing! I had the skirt steak, oh so so good, And the baklava, was oh just divine!
