Fine World Cuisine in Athens, Ohio
We are currently welcoming guests for dine-in Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 9:00, and offer contactless carryout from 5:00 to 8:30. Click the Menu tab at the top of the page to see our regular menu, as these items are of course also available. We have a small but nice selection of beers and wines to accompany our food. Scroll down for our specials this week.
RESERVATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED EXCEPT FOR PARTIES OF 7 OR MORE. As we only reserve larger tables, there are lots of smaller tables that remain available for our walk-in patrons.
PLEASE NOTE: We have been doing lots of contactless carryout, and sometimes get jammed with phone orders right around 5-6 pm. Keri begins taking orders for the evening by phone when she arrives around 2-3 pm, so if you leave a message before that, expect a callback after 3. Ordering early helps the kitchen staff to plan and prepare for your order, so when you can, please order early! (You may pick up at a time you choose, between 5:00 pm and 8:30 pm.) The number to call is the restaurant's land line: (740) 594-3800. If it rings busy, we're fielding other calls or returning calls to those who have left a voicemail. We do not call back unless we are responding to a voicemail, so please do leave a message!

ORDERING for CONTACTLESS PICKUP
You may order specials or regular menu items for pickup until 8:30, and can phone in your order as early as 2:00 pm for your choice of pickup time starting at 5:00. (Ordering early helps us with workflow in the kitchen and is always appreciated! DO leave a voicemail; we will call you back in the order that calls are received.) You are welcome to pay by phone (use the restaurant number: 740-594-3800) and take advantage of our contactless pickup in the REAR of the restaurant. To do this, please proceed in the direction of travel on South Congress Street. Don't turn left onto Washington Street... just pass it and then turn left to enter the parking lot behind the restaurant. You will see a big blue shelf unit on our rear patio, where we will place your bags of food as soon as they are ready. No need to call when picking up, unless there's a problem with your order.
