Touch of Athens Greek Cuisina

Awesome, hidden greek restaurant I never knew existed

by WillAshworth

I took my kids here last night and waited for my wife to arrive from work on a Saturday night to join us. The owners were great to take the time to talk to me and my children while we waited for their mother to arrive.

I second everything "ChristieWagner" said on her review of the place. We had a wonderful time with the live entertainment they had for that evening (belly dancers on Friday/Saturday nights) and was entirely kid friendly. The food was amazing and we're already talking about bringing a large group with us next Saturday.

The rice they serve with your meal is to die for and the lamb Kabob was perfect. I tried a bite of my son's unfinished chicken kabob and I think that's my meal order for next time. I'm not a huge fan for salads, but their greek salad was out of this world. I'm actually looking forward to that part of the meal now.

Sigi (I hope I spelled that right), the owner, was a charming older man that just wanted to see us have a great time at his restaurant. He treated us like family during our stay. At the end of the evening the chef, staff, dancers and owners were there to bid us farewell and shook our hand as we left.

Parking is plentiful in front and at night there's free parking after 6PM on the street (at least I thought there was as I parked my car at 8PM...no, I didn't get a ticket). The meters should be free after 6PM.

The sign through me off a bit and we walked once around the block making sure we had the right place. The restaurant looks as though it's in an old house, with the sign on the outside saying "Hidden House". The name of the restaurant is actually: "Touch of Athens Greek Cuisina at The Hidden House".

If heading south on Main Street, it's on your right at the end of the block after LaserQuick printing.

We'll definitely be back soon. I have to say again, the food isn't the only reason we're coming back. Great experience.

• Pros: Excellent food. Great personal touch. Wonderful wine selection.
• Cons: A little pricier than Urbanspoon led on. Recommend a kid-specific menu with kid portion sizes.

If you want wonderful, flavorful, fresh, AUTHENTIC, Greek food, your search has ended.

our family loves this restaurant, we have a wonderful time, every time.

My husband and I absolutely LOVE to go on the first Friday of the month. It has been unofficially dubbed Greek night! There is almost always live entertainment, and a friendly, heartwarming crowd.

I may not be greek (and neither is my husband) but we are welcomed like family! We have been taught a couple songs, a few dances, and had a marvelous time!

Touch of Athens ~ Thank You! for making our dates, and family events so very special.

To my friends and neighbors looking for a wonderful evening.. this is the place to go. Candle light, personal service, great food, (if you are a wine drinker) There is a tremendously yummy selection of Greek and Italian wines. I highly recommend asking the owner's opinion.. he knows exactly which wine will taste best with your order. Small Parties of 1 or 2 or large parties of 20.. they are ready for you.. and are happy to serve.

I can not say enough good!

By the by.. for those of you who read the comment from the lady who ordered take out... No food that is made fresh to order, will taste good 1/2 an hour lader, plopped on a table, and eaten with plastic forks! If you want their food but you are in a hurry.. Order the Greek Salad... TREMENDOUS.. even the next day :)

Wow. I am constantly amazed at the level of whining that I see on a daily basis in this town. I can actually picture what the two or three people who gave this restaurant a poor review look like! White, republican, sheltered security moms with a sense of entitlement. I used to hear endless stories of people like you who go into Starbucks each day for your morning 12-pump vanilla syrup, non-fat, 183.56 degree "binky". You have a severe case of the "me-wantees". No matter what you order, it is never right when you get it. Weah-weah! The belly dancer wasn't at my beckoned command. Weah-weah, the lamb I ordered wasn't bleeding onto the plate. You know, your reviews of this restaurant only succeed in making you look like a giant A55H0LE. Basically, your kind should stick to fast food. I think you'll find it is more synthesized to your palate's liking. Don't bash somebody's business that they bust their tail to run with excellence, because you are an unhappy, unappealing, small-minded, most likely republican, suburbanite, giant SUV-driving, anglo-centric, obnoxious B1TCH. This restaurant is amazing. I have eaten Greek food all over the world, but most importantly in Greece! (and not on one of those ugly-American tours you go on). This cusina is creating some of the best Greek cuisine you will ever eat. And by the way, if you came into my restaurant, I would intentioanlly give you something a lot worse than dry meat. To the rest of you out there who actually have a clue, sorry for the rant. I just cannot abide some lazy soccer mom trying to bad-mouth someone who actually works for a living and is good at it. The only plus about the bad reviews is that I won't have to look at any of those people when I patronize Touch of Athens.

• Pros: Absolutely perfect.
• Cons: none
