I just had lunch at the Athenian Inn Restaurant. As a local here in Seattle I have tried a good deal of the restaurants in the Pike Place area, and I have to say, this one was absolutely, positively horrible. I went during lunch and was stunned to sit down to a 200- item menu. After about 10 minutes of mulling through their gigantic selection (which is not a good thing, by the way) I selected the Crab Salad Sandwich. What I got back (in less than 3 minutes... also not a good sign) was a lump of cold crab, celery and cheap mayo mixture on two pieces of what had to be thick WonderBread. It was tasteless, the texture was gross, the presentation was horrible, and to top it off it cost about $3.00 more than it should have (the sandwich was around $5.00). My friend, whom I ate with at the restaurant, got a pastry stuffed with cheese and ham, which was also not only tiny but grotesque in presentation and flavor. I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone. If you are hungry, and there is nothing else open (IE Lowell's right next door) grab some fresh fruit from across the hallway and be on your way. Trust me, you'll be MUCH better off. Someone should buy out this restaurant, gut it and make it a landmark restaurant. Right now it's just a waste of space and an embarrassment to Pikes Place Market.
