We were both quite impressed with Athena's. The staff is friendly and attentive but not overly so. The food is delicious.

My friend took another friend and she was also surprised and wondering why--we hadn't tried Athena's before! We both live in Cranston!

We had the smoked salmon benedict from their seasonal menu and their bacon truffle benedict. Usually their benedicts are tasty, but this time, I found the smoked salmon benedict too salty and the bacon truffle really sweet. The egg was nice and runny, but the salt and sweetness of either benedicts kind of overwhelmed the egginess... Coffee were a constant refill. I got an immune booster juice and it was fine, but it also costed $6 and I don't know if I thought it was worth the price. Overall, I enjoy the trying new things via the seasonal menu, it's familiar, and in a somewhat convenient location for us. I'm flipping back and forth on 3 or 4 stars so I'll just settle on the higher number since we've been here a couple of times and most times were good.
