Reviews
"The atmosphere was upscale and really nice. the food was decently priced and really good. My only complaint was the drink portions. there were pretty small drinks but were delicious and Hannah was a great server."
"The National is truly one of the great Athens restaurants — innovative cuisine, great service, and hip atmosphere. Get yourself a reservation or get there (really) early and sit at the bar."
"I had my bachelorette dinner here and it was amazing! Lucy called to confirm our reservation, took our group photo outside the restaurant, gave us bar recs, and even helped one of my friends who couldn't make it pay for my dinner over the phone! The food was amazing (friend eggplant was to die for) and the ambiance at dusk was magical. I can't recommend this place enough for a special occasion."
"WOW. My fiancée and I celebrated our two year anniversary here and it exceeded our expectations. If you enjoy mediterranean style food this place is legit. Their house olives were very tasty, the stuffed dates had the perfect pop of manchego, the cheese plate was scrumptious and the patatas bravas were some of the best I have ever had. The pork chop was huge and very tasty. The Mahi was unique and tasted very fresh and vivacious. Their menu is constantly changing and updating which I love. I feel awful because I don't remember our servers name but he was a tall blonde gentleman and was wonderful. He explained their house cocktails in exquisite detail and was very knowledgeable of the whole menu. On top of that he comped our crème brûlée (which was incredible with the candied orange). We eat out a lot. This place got our attention, the service, the atmosphere, the freshness of the food and the attention to detail all lead to an incredible experience. We will be sure to visit again. 5/5"
"Overall pretty good. Kinda on the pricey side, but you get a lot of food for what you pay for so it's worth it if you look at it from that perspective. The biggest surprise from the menu was definitely the Stuffed Medjool Dates. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The restaurant is advertised as having "Mediterranean-style dished created with seasonal, southern influences". However, I would argue that these dishes are far more southern then they are Mediterranean. This is by no means a bad thing if that is your desire you will not be disappointed! However, for me personally, I would have preferred a menu more on the Mediterranean side."
