It is definately a gastro-pub in that you pay overblown prices for minimalist food with a jus drizzled over, that lacks flavour and substance. I did go when it had just opened so it could have improved since then however I refuse to pay any more to check if this is the case.

The incredibly friendly staff were more than accommodating, setting us up with a dinner for 24 people in all. They even gave us an entire floor so we could all mingle together and not worry about bothering other diners. The food is delicious, the atmosphere wonderful, and the staff incredibly friendly & knowledgeable. All around great experience on both occasions!

Made the mistake of eating here today. The server was surly and unpleasant. He messed up the…read morestarters (wrong sauce) and two of the entrees (the wrong dishes). He also kept us waiting 15 minutes on our drinks order. When we tried (politely) to point out that two of the entrees were not what we ordered, he grabbed one and walked away despite the fact that we were still trying to explain, leaving the second dish behind. Finally, he had the nerve to add a service charge (which I asked him to remove--something I have never done before.). A truly appalling experience, and without a doubt, the rudest and least competent server I have ever encountered. The food that did arrive was mediocre at best.

We started with the trio of spreads and Dolmades. The vine leaves were wonderful, warm and stuffed with spiced beef and served with a lovely rich mushroom sauce. For the mains, we had the chicken kebab and the kleftiko. The lamb was falling off the bone and cooked to perfection. The kebab was served with lovely pillaf rice which complimented it nicely. After such a warm welcome we were happy to see the food matched the owners energy. Will be back next time in Eastbourne!

I said thanks but no thanks and walked out only for the waiter to follow me to the door and tell me to F off if I didn't like it and shut the door behind me. I am in my fifties and never experienced such rudeness in any establishment here or abroad and was so shocked I was lost for words. Recovering from an accident so didn't want to go back to confront him as no other staff visible. Average main course is £15 - £18 so not the kind of restaurant you would dine in every day. I have quite a few Greek friends and neighbours and they are so warm and friendly, shame on the Athens restaurant. No stars but the site requires at least one.

It's probably worth making a reservation (as we did) as this place tends to be quite busy. The food was very nice. The meal I had (sausage and mash) wasn't particularly good value at a shade over ten pounds. My friends had chosen a better value meal in the form of garlic chicken which was served on giant oval plates for around ten pounds.

Great little restaurant, lots of character and very good cuisine…read more Small seating area but don't let this deter you because it is compensated in the quality of food and the service, if anything it adds to the atmosphere. It has a typically French feel to the place and the food just enhances that. A very tidy menu with a choice for all. The portions may seem a little small but this is French cuisine and it is also reflected in the price. The best part of this little gem is the value for money. There are three options on the menu and the dearest is £7.95 for a three course menu with add-ons depending on your choice of dish. A 3 course meal for 2 with 4 glasses of wine, 1 sparkling water and 2 coffees came to £38.40. I really like this place and it has made my short list of best places to dine in the area.
