If I was looking for a place to eat and didn't have a recommendation on the quality of the food, I would have passed it by.<br /><br />With the new opening of the Meat House over there, I sent an email over to Santa Monica Seafood to check out space there as well and they agreed on the potential. With a butcher and (hopefully) a fishmonger that little strip mall could have some potential.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929663157927467433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773844626863446576.post-86524093087177360222011-01-06T10:35:09.858-08:002011-01-06T10:35:09.858-08:00JB, That is not very good news at all.

It was kind of tucked away in the middle of the strip mall, and not visiable from the street. <br /><br />Thanks for the info. If you guys have any other tips, please pass them along.OCEaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147730640903771229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773844626863446576.post-37107857873607771972011-01-05T17:31:01.221-08:002011-01-05T17:31:01.221-08:00Just came across this review.

I'm a fan of Athena not only because the food is decent for a strip mall greek place but they would offer free delivery locally as well (unlike those rip-off delivery services)<br /><br />After trying to place an order for delivery with no one answering their phone and their web-site down, I decided to take a ride over.<br />I can confirm that Athena Gyro of MV is no longer with us.<br /><br />Amanda's husband.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929663157927467433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773844626863446576.post-76483651201881430612010-11-26T16:50:46.001-08:002010-11-26T16:50:46.001-08:00Amanda, I was hoping that you would read this.

I'm addicted to their Gyros, but I always order them plain with a side of Tziziki sauce and onions, then I dress it myself at home. If you get a chance, try the Avgolemono soup!FoodieInDisguisehttp://www.foodieindisguise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773844626863446576.post-40038456954231110622010-08-12T15:58:55.067-07:002010-08-12T15:58:55.067-07:00Great post as always babe, and yes, I was pretty s...Great post as always babe, and yes, I was pretty shocked I was eating lamb, but that is a testament to how well they prepared it. This was one of my favorites recently w/ Roman Cucina - I don't know this Amanda gal, but thank you from me too for a really yummy recommendation! Their gyro was the bomb! :)Katienoreply@blogger.com
