Five and Ten

The atmosphere was very nice and welcoming and the service was above average for Athens. The food was good, average at this price point. Nothing that blows your taste buds away. Had the frog more stew it had decent flavor but was more of a chucky soup. That was a little strange. We had a good time just wish the food had more wow.

This restaurant is coasting on a very old reputation. The food is sub-par, and the venue is changing hands with a new owner to be announced soon (according to the staff). I put up with an over baked corn bread and a bland salad but had to return the overly salty main course, which was replaced with a lackluster one. Nothing special here except the service, which is attentive and friendly. At this price point the poor quality of food is criminal. Most ordinary restaurants in Athens serve better food.

The setting of an old house is quaint. Not too stuffy but not too casual either. Parking was a little tight. We were sat right away with our reservation. 6:15 on a Monday, not too busy. The main dining room was a little chilly. We figured they were expecting more customers and it would warm up. Tables are metal legs with wooden tops, chairs were ok and everything was acceptably clean. The hostess was nice, we were given water and menus right away. Menus also included the happy hour specials and a list of bottle wine specials. Happy hour gimlet was good and the local lager was too. The charcuterie board was ok. We stretched it to feed 5. The Sun-choke jelly was ugly but de-li-cious! Our server was personable. We asked questions about the menu and various waitstaff members either could or unfortunately could not answer them. Our impression was that there wasnt much of a team work vibe happening. Beet salad ok Mushroom soup ok but needed a little kick of something They were out of dumplings! We later found out that a large party of economic conference guests were sat in another room and we figured they were given dibs. We were offered extra sourdough bread which worked out as a good alternative for sopping up the juices. The trout ok The schnitzel was given a 9/10 from everyone who ordered it. We werent going to order dessert but because of the no dumplings and a late entree, we were comped and we ordered one of each. The lemon cakeneeds work, tasted floury and heavy The chocolate offering too bitter butthe banana ice cream was amazing The orange pavlova-10/10! Best thing we ateperfect treat. We enjoyed a leisurely very good meal and would recommend this restaurant for adult diners, date night, special occasion, or as a treat. There is outdoor/patio seating.
