Parthenon | Top/ Most Authentic Greek Cuisine in DC

The staff and service were really great, very prompt and friendly. The cold mezeh plate was DELICIOUS the bread plates were fresh and soft and the calamri was a great portion size. Entrees that we ordered: branzino, lamb orzo, chicken kebab, Greek style chicken. All came with steamed vegetables each portion was different levels of soft, different amounts of sauce, and generally flavorless. Branzino had surface seasoning and no internal seasoning, very oily. Lamb orzo was DRENCHED in the tomato sauce amd the orzo was overcooked. Chicken kabob was very DRY and vegetables were blackened and inedible. Greek Style chicken was sitting in its own juice for too long and made the skin and underside too soft. Overall unremarkable for the food items that were cooked well and when compared to the pri

This well established neighborhood restaurant has been around for a long time. Offering old time Greek favorites, it is consistent. I ordered the lamb slouvaki and it was pretty good. The spinach pie was decent. So was the lemon chicken soup The service was subpar and there is zero atmosphere

We came by to hike at Rock Creek without doing any research on where to eat after. That was a mistake, as we were hungry and needed good options fast. It was either this Greek place or the Thai place across the road. We eat Thai all the time, so the unanimous decision was this Greek! The waiter and all the staff were very friendly. The place and decoration themselves are a little odd. However, it was clean. The highlight is the taste of the food. All the dishes we ordered were spot on. I cannot remember their names, but there was nothing bad I could recall. If I'm ever in the area, I'd come again.

First time here, wanted to try it after I saw the Gordon Ramsay turn around. Food took along time but it came out fresh and hot. From the appetizer to the entree. Would definitely recommend . It seems the locals knew the staff. Junior C- great customer service. The owner even came out and made sure everything was great

First Time at Parthenon? Prepare to be Wowed! "I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Parthenon Restaurant and Chevy Chase Lounge for the first time, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! Finding parking was a breeze during lunchtime, with ample street parking available (though I'm curious to see how it is in the evenings!). Upon entering, I did wait a brief moment for the host, but from the moment he greeted me , any initial hesitation vanished. And let me tell you, that host? His name is Michael, and he's a true gem. He also served as our server, and his service was nothing short of exceptional. Michael's warmth and genuine enthusiasm made us feel instantly welcome. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful suggestions and engaging in fantastic c
