If you're looking for a very interesting, upper end, restaurant in Athens, try The National. A bit pricey, but worth it if you want to splurge, a little. We were visiting a relative, who's a student at UGA, and had dinner at the National one evening. It's in an interesting old renovated commercial building (it looks like it might have... More

We had some starters and then split a veggie plate, everything was imaginative, earthy and carefully prepared. For example, the mixture of elements on the veggie plate was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, all of them slightly unexpected. The dates with cheese were delicious, and so was the mushroom orecchiette pasta. Good, herb-y cocktails, and a very well... More

Many thanks to Peter Dale and the entire staff at The National for a superb graduation luncheon! The entire staff performed superbly with such a large crowd and made everyone feel a part of the family. The menu was superb! Many thanks for the end to a perfect day!

We routinely get to the cousin place "Five and Ten" a couple times per year and tried this early in its first year. It was a little disturbing to have dinner while there was a revival on the sidewalk for mostly AA member and others next door. I understand the need to help people, but zoning is not working here.

One of the most delicious meals I've eaten in Athens. The prices are a bit shocking but if someone else is picking up the tab (or you are really celebrating something big) go there!
