Located in Athens' Five Points neighborhood, Dinner Party offers fine dining, but make it family-style with Asian influence. The setting is perfect for date nights. We love to share a variety of the small plates - especially the bouncy peanut noodles and Crab Rangoon. They have great cocktails as well. Dinner Party does not accept reservations, so make sure to get there early.
