    The environment is the best in Athens. But we come to eat. The lamb was dry, and flavorless, risotto was starchy and like the asparagus, under cooked. The bun on the hamburger completely fell apart,. A fork was needed. This was our third bad meal. Beet carpaccio was delicious, but was so little food, four small bites—tops.

    We have eaten at The Falls a number of times. The food is always good. On this occasion, the food was excellent and the service was great. On other visits, the service has been a little spotty. The dining room is attractive and the patio is very nice. It's a solid choice. The prices are a little high for Athens, but some of the choices are reasonably priced.

    Grossly understaffed. Empty tables weren’t bussed the entire time we were there even though there were only around 7 tables of people eating. Food was slow and just ok. I won’t hurry back.
