I was visiting Washington a few weeks ago and ate the Parthenon. We were seated outside on a covered patio on a nice cool evening. For appetizers we the Saganaki Flambe and the Manitaria Gemista (mushroom stuffed with crab). Both were delicious. In addition, we had three shots of Ouzo to celebrate our upcoming Greek main courses. In between the meals one of the owners Mike came over and had a long conversation about the history of the restaurant and the food. There were three of us and for the main course I ordered the Broiled Pork Chops with potatoes and vegetables, my friend ordered the Glosa Gemisti with Crab Meat and vegetables, (stuffed Flounder), our third person had a Greek salad.

We absolutely adore this restaurant! During our most recent visit, we organized a surprise party for a dear friend here last week. The staff, in addition to providing excellent overall service, went above and beyond to help us execute the surprise, including fetching our friend from the bar and sneaking over a birthday cake. They were incredibly friendly, kind, and just fantastic. The food was top-notch and as delicious as ever. We highly recommend this restaurant for both casual outings and special occasions!
My mother and I love dining at Parthenon. The food is delicious and satisfying, and the service is consistently excellent. While we haven't sampled anything from the cold appetizer menu, it seems to be a popular choice among other diners. During our last visit, it was unusually noisy, possibly because the cold weather had forced patrons who typically dine on the patio to eat indoors. The crowd at Parthenon is generally mature, with fewer children than at nearby Clyde's, although families do dine there as well.
The Parthenon has been serving traditional Greek food at this location for decades. The restaurant serves reliably well-prepared Greek cuisine. We dined at lunch on avgolemono soup, pastitcio, chicken souvlaki, and an omlette of tomato and feta. The soup was the closest recipe to match my Greek grandmother's homemade avgolemono that I have ever had. The meals were tasty and filling. Service was attentive.

Food is always well prepared and yummy. Great wait staff; many long-timers who will recognize you and be accommodating. Popular with nearby Chevy Chase DC residents as well as residents of nearby retirement home and their families. I know they have some kind of party room on lower level, but I haven't seen it for myself.
We go to Parthenon for its grilled octopus which is to die for, the horiatiki salad, and the bread. The house white wine is not bad either. I've tried the lamb (generous portion) which is good, but since we are not big eaters, we always go back to the grilled octopus.
This is a real neighborhood find. The service and ambience were very good. The wine list was nice and priced well. The food was good, local Greek cuisine. Priced accordingly. Would recommend and would go back.
We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. We especially love dining outside in the spring. We are repeat customers and will definitely be back again.
