Wow! Loved our first time eating at Athos, our waiter was so friendly and kind, the food was wonderful (I had the lamb chops my husband had the red snapper) and the ambiance was soft and calm. I think my favorite part were the desserts, SO yummy!

We came to the restaurant for brunch. I had the steak and eggs, and my wife had the crab meat hash. Now the steak and eggs was good , but my wife was not happy. I guess it normally comes with a poached egg on top, but my wife requested to have an over hard/fried egg instead. That's the way she ordered it, but they put a poached egg on it. We asked the waitress to have it remade with a fried egg. She said no problem, but still brought it back again still with a poached egg. By this time, I was finished my meal, so we just gave up on hers and had it removed from. The ticket. Not sure if the cooks refused to put anything othe than a poached egg, or the waitress didn't understand what the difference was between a poached egg and a fried egg.

Lunches are served Tuesdays and Thursdays at the culinary school t Schenectady Community College. Dinner is served Wednesdays. There are Regional USA menus in the Fall and International ones in the Spring. Today was Asian and it was one of the best experiences of the year. The appetizers were curry udon soup with chicken katsu or Pork belly buns. We both ordered the soup. It was spicy, but not too spicy with slices of crisp chicken cutlet. I wouldn't have thought of putting fried chicken in a soup, but it was delicious. There were three entrees, Beef Bulgogi, Garam Marsala scented red snapper and ginger scallion noodles. I ordered the bulgogi and it was the best I ever tasted. It was extremely tender with wonderful seasoning. It was accompanied by picked vegetables and white rice. My partner ordered the noodle dish which came with crispy fried tofu. He said it was very good. Desserts were stickr rice with mango, Japanese roll cake, Japanese cheese cake and matcha icecream with mocha cookies. We both ordered the cheesecake which was lighter than I am used to but very good. Highly recommend you try this restaurant if you are willing to try new things. We tried it around 12 times in the past year and were rarely disappointed.

The food was very good and well presented. I had the Artic Char and enjoyed it. Companion had the Lamb selection and that was delicious. There is alot of noise in the location. The floors and walls are all hard surface, so it can be hard to converse. Overall a nice time.

Friday or Saturday night entertainment together with the beautiful atmosphere and the fact that the food is consistently nicely presented, very good as well as the service has made this one of my favorite “date night” places with my bride!
