Best skirt steak I've ever had. My hubby and the friends we were with all got gyros, but not being a huge gyro eater, I got the skirt steak. i reheated it about 2-3 times and it was still tasty!

Being first time vistors to Chicago and excited about visiting Greektown, we were more than impressed with Parthenon. We are always exploring authentic Greek restaurants and this one tops our list. After being told it was an hour wait at the neighboring Athena restaurant, where there were empty tables everywhere and no one waiting to be seated, we walked into Parthenon where hungry, waiting people were crammed in the front area, the bar, and even flowing out the front doors. We were told that it could be an hour or more, but decided the wait would be worth it. We were seated after only 30 minutes (this was Valentine's day and a Saturday night) and served bread and drinks straight away. Being quite familiar with Greek cuisine, we were impressed at the variety of choices on the menu. We chose the family style menu, and the food started coming right away. The waiters were hurried, but never rude. The portions were generous and the prices extremely reasonable. There was so much food, that by the time our main courses came out, we had to box it all up and take it back to our hotel. Parthenon made our first visit to Greektown pleasant and memorable!
Pros: authentic atmosphere, large portions, great value

Pros: Very Good Food and Free Parking

I took my cousin from out of town to Greektown and saw that Venus was highly rated. It's around the corner from Halsted, and it turned out to be a hidden gem. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Someone checked in with us every 10 minutes or so to make sure our water was filled, everything was good, and to see if we needed anything else. An excellent experience, highly recommended!
Pros: Excellent decor, food, service

I'm what you call a "regular" and have been living in the Lakeview neigborhood for quite some time now. This place is absoulutely one of my favorites. Ever since the new management took over, the food is much better and the service has been quite exceptional. This is why I'm appalled that the girl who gave it a bad review had the opposite experience. She seems very obnoxious and the type that loves to get attention in everything she does. I'm pretty sure North Coast did everything they can to make her and her friends satisfied but you can only do so much especially if the customer if being difficult to deal with.
Anyways, you should try the omelletes and the potato casseroles. They are delicious. Last but not least, the manager also makes the whole restaurant experience a great one. He's so friendly that you might want to give him a hug in the end..I highly recommend this place.
Pros: food and service
Cons: parking

Costa's is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Everything I have ever ordered here has been delicious. The service is wonderful: really old-fashioned, non-invasive but entertaining, the waiters look out for your best interests. One of the best things I've eaten here was the stuffed chicken breasts, but I also love the Athenian chicken and the Moussaka. Absolutely DO NOT LEAVE COSTA'S WITHOUT THE CHOCOLATE BAKLAVA. They bring out a beautiful dessert tray, but if you choose the chocolate baklava the waiter will give you a little nod indicating that you made the right choice. The atmosphere is very elegant. This is a nice place to go on a special occasion or a date. At busy times, you will have to wait for a table, even though this place is expansive. The food here is not cheap, but it is justified by the quality. I am usually tempted to try some of the other restaurants in Greek town, but I always return to Costa's and I never regret it. This is where all my Greek friends eat as well.
Pros: Authentic and Traditional, Great Food, Service
Cons: Pricey

This place is great!! They have some of the best Greek food I have eaten....and I have worked in the Greektown area for 7 years; so I have had my share of greek. Beit, not in Greece ever but....
Anyway, this is a lively place!! Always some sort of Euro-pop playing and always a crowd!! Now, most of the time the crowds are waaaay prettier than me...seriously, they all look straight from a GQ mag or something, but Muse offers a great place to have drinks after work or on the weekends. If you are down with it, a great place to end the night....the place stays packed until way past the rest of the area. With it being so close to UIC, you would think it full of college aged folk, but oddly not. Most are in the late 20s to mid 30s, so that is great if you want a lively time without the underage possibility.
