Great skyline views---and a nice patio---accompany traditional Greek fare at this go-to taverna.

Dining room at Athena Greek Restaurant, Chicago, ILWhen sitting on this Greektown patio during the summer, all is right with the world. But it’s not all about city skyline views and a flower-frocked outdoor terrace---the proof is in the sizzling, plump shrimp, served atop onions and sweet peppers with brandy-flamed feta. As for the gyros, they’re as good as any in town; meanwhile, a crisp, refreshing glass of Greek white wine proves the perfect foil for a dish of roasted red peppers stuffed with herb-flecked feta. Other specialties include char-grilled octopus and homemade loukaniko as well as spanakopita, moussaka and roasted leg of lamb. Enjoying a sweet baklava and a boozy coffee beverage is a fine way to end this pleasant sojourn.
