This place claims to be over a 100 years old. Athenian is always crowded and be prepared to wait 15-30 minutes if you have not made a booking. The food is good and the presentation is lovely. Strangely the seating is most uncomfortable. Cramped wooden bench type seating will ensure you eat and get out quickly. The selection of beer... More

Not only was the meal the best seafood meal I have ever had but the view and atmosphere were amazing. I will visit this restaurant again. The fish market is next to this seafood establishment meaning you get only the freshest food available anywhere. The server was great and I regret that I do not remember the young bearded mans...

The best fish tacos and fish sandwich ever.. Beats the east coast! The fish was so fresh and tasty..excellent! The service was awesome and had a great view of the bay area!

We visited Pike Market and stopped at the Athenian Restaurant for a late breakfast/lunch. I ordered the Athenian Frittata (lamb sausage, onion, feta and tomato) with a wonderful espresso (it IS Seattle, after all!) and my daughter had the Florentine Benedict. Both were delish and we enjoyed it even more as we were seated by the window overlooking the Pacific.

This was a great experience amazing view of the port of Seattle, good wait staff and simply wonderful salmon with mash, vege and sumptuous buttery sauce, delicious. We loved it and Tom Hanks ate there when making "Sleepless in Seattle", too.

This restaurant is right inside the fish market and offers good cheap food of exactly the kind you'd expect. Perhaps a little over the top with the grated raw carrot in the veg tho. I had 3 big beers and the bill for 2 was 35$..and we had steak and scallops. Good beer, good service and friendly staff. There are... More

We went for lunch and split the seafood bowl which was loaded with fresh seafood in a delicious broth and rice at the bottom. We also had their house salad which was so delicious. Great service and fantastic view of the pier from the table. Very clean and the best part was the food.

This is the best clam chowder I have ever eaten! Served in a sourdough bread bowl the chowder was an excellent blend of seasonings and clams. The wife's calamari was good (not rubbery like a lot of it usually is) and the view of the harbor from the restaurant is amazing. Located inside Pike Place Market the Athenian Inn is... More

My husband and I were a little leery of eating at one of the restaurants in the market, as we were afraid of it being a tourist trap, but this was a nice surprise! The views were absolutely amazing and as the sign says at the hostess stand (as a little rudely pointed out by the man who seated us)... More
