“I had a fantastic dining experience here! The atmosphere of the place is beautiful, making it a great spot for any occasion. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our meal. As for the food, the Pomegranate Souvlaki was definitely my favorite main course—flavorful and perfectly prepared. For appetizers, I highly recommend the calamari, fries, and the octapodaki; they were all delicious. Overall, a wonderful place with great service and amazing food. I will definitely be back!”

“I always enjoy coming to this restaurant — it never disappoints. Tonight, I had the Lamb Souvlaki served with perfectly roasted vegetables, golden potatoes, and a refreshing side of tzatziki. The lamb was exceptionally tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The aroma alone was irresistible. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the dining experience even more pleasant. Every detail, from the presentation to the seasoning, reflected true Mediterranean craftsmanship.”

“What an amazing Greek dining experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was the real star—every dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The steak souvlaki were perfectly grilled, tender, and juicy”

“I enjoyed lunch at the Parthenon today. The chicken souvlaki was delicious, served with fresh vegetables that were cooked perfectly. The hummus was also very good. The food was high quality, home style cooking. The waitress was very friendly, kind, and made me feel welcome. The owner was also very friendly and spoke with each table. It’s refreshing to have good food in a friendly environment, and I look forward to eating here again soon.”

“Had an amazing dinner at The Parthenon in San Francisco with two friends and wow, everything was 🔥! The pita bread with hummus was the perfect start, and the Avgolemono soup was cozy and flavorful 🍋🍲. The zucchini fritters were crispy perfection, and the drinks (Ashk!) were smooth and paired so well 🍷. We tried both chicken and steak souvlaki so juicy and packed with flavor and the Greek pasta was a total standout 🍝. Finished off with baklava topped with vanilla ice cream and it was divine 🍯🍨. Incredible food, awesome vibes—definitely going back soon! 🙌🇬🇷”

“Had the seafood pasta and everything about it was good. We sat at the bar and received excellent service. The live music just brought the whole experience together.”

“The food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress Elif was very helpful and insightful in selecting an order of wine too! The muscles appetizer along with the calamari were the perfect starters and the main entree of feta cheese pasta with chicken was absolutely amazing!”

“I recently visited this restaurant and had one of the most delicious pastas I’ve ever eaten. Honestly, it’s one of the best restaurants in San Francisco! The food was amazing, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everything from the taste to the price was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a truly flavorful meal and great experience! 🍝👏”

“Had a wonderful time here!!! Got lucky and the owner was working the bar and he was very attentive and funny and overall good energy . We also saw him get a letter of appreciation from the Greek Consulate so u kno it’s legit. Food was so good and I usually don’t like baklava but their yogurt baklava was hella good!!!”

“We had such a wonderful brunch at The Parthenon. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We loved the Greek Salad, the Octapodaki, the Gyro Hash, and the Souvlaki & Avgo. We finished with the Chocolate Truffle and Greek coffee, which was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. The service was also excellent. Everyone was warm, attentive, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A great spot to enjoy authentic Greek flavors and a relaxed brunch in the heart of San Francisco. Alessandra & Filippo @visit_sf”

“Such a great addition to the Parthenonl! 🇬🇷✨ I had such a lovely brunch here. The ambiance was beautiful, the service was amazing, and everything we tried was delicious.
