I have patronized the Parthenon since 1968, and have never had a bad meal or poor service. Skip the Saganaki appetizer, (Opaa), and go straight to the eggplant or zucchini appetizers, served with skordalia. A garlic lover's dream! The fried calamari is highly recommended, as is the lamb with artichokes. The ecclectic crowd can be anything from the pre/post Lyric Opera crowd to tour busses from out of state. It is always crowded and lively. Make a reservation.
Pros: Great food, Fast service, Inexpensive
Cons: Can be noisy
