Bon appetite
Rosalie's was still there and going strong when we moved in November. Great food, but very noisy.
Lasca's is doing great, I don't think Jimmy is doing much cooking any more since he discovered golf and piloting helicopters

Rosalie was my girlfriend in 6th grade but her family moved to Florida the following year where her father then brother built their vast restaurant empire. Good family . Miss Doug's miss Lasca's

Glad to see you back on the forum.

I take that trip usually twice a week for rides from 30 minutes outside the bubble to several hours. But when a place is that close I want to get there by golf cart.

Well please excuse me all... but my wife is tugging on my sleeve wanting me to ask all of you when Athens is going to open. I set up TOTV for her gave her a username and instruction on how to operate and communicate on this but.............................like a big-a shot she prefers morning briefings

Ha ha, you're too funny! We drove by there today. There were cars in the parking lot. Maybe Bonnie knows. She's been to every soft opening in the tri-county area!

Yup, Christopher (Sr.) opened up today.
They have a huge menu too.
Prime Rib on Kimmelweck?
Haven't seen that in years!

Good luck to them.

They are open. Went there twice and food was excellent. Service a little slow the first night, but it was the day that they opened. Last night had the Greek platter. Was very good as was the service.

My wife just stopped by Athens to pick up a menu and it is appealing. I suspect this place is going to do well.

Skip,
They served that at the old location, good as any I ever had in western NY.

Have not stopped in yet, but the sign says Athena. Probably could not re-open as Athens.

Not anymore. It was totally gutted and redone. Just beautiful! They even got rid of that cruddy carpeting and put it beautiful tile. We were impressed.

Because this place is owned by Elena. He doesn't speak to her.

Had our dinner there tonight. Food was great, same cook in the kitchen. Service was a little erratic, but our waitress was brand new and trying very hard. Spoke to the owner and she said things will only get better. We believe her!
