we WERE long time patrons of the OLD parthenon restaurant. we loved the atmosphere the piano, fireplace, linen table clothes..and a QUIET romantic atmosphere. we thought we'd try out the NEW parthenon grille. YUK!!!!!! what a horrid experience. first off we went into the bar to be seated and told them we didnt want to EAT in there we were going to have drinks until a table came open. well they came to seat us and they pointed to a table directly behind us in the bar!! DUHHHHHHHHHHH! if we wanted to eat in the bar we could have eaten at the table we already were at!! sheesh! then we were seated in the restaurant. got the menus and guess what? NO PRIME RIB!! my favorite. they had taken it off the menu and the waitress said they had had numerous complaints about it. so i thought ok ill order a shrimp cocktail at least i can have that. guess what? we were told by the waitress ""sorry we r out of shrimp, it was mtsu's graduation and we were slammed"" i thought and u all werent PREPARED for mtsus graduation? then we ordered a bottle of wine we didnt recieve and then finally asked about it and were told... ""sorry they r behind in the bar"" how long does it take to get a bottle of wine out and uncork it? its not like mixing a drink. no salt and pepper shakers on the table we had to get up and get them from another table. they didnt bring our bread with our meal.we had to ask for that. and it was cold and hard. plus we were JAMMED into a postage stamp sized table against the wall to add insult to injury. this place doesnt even RESEMBLE the old wondeful parthenon. plzzzzzzzzzz reopen the other place!! plus it was noisey we had to yell to even hear each other. warning to others do NOT go here!! go to the chop house!! it has a MUCH better atmosphere and they have prime rib there! it was my birthday on top of it all. needless to say we will NEVER patronize the parthenon ever again!!
Cons: u name it
