If i lived in Orlando i would want to eat here every day. The best bloody mary I've ever had. Hummus was amazing. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We sat at the bar and Hailey was our bartender- top notch service. I love the Ybor location but this was even better. Only negative thing I could say was that the gyro was a little dry but still had awesome flavor so still a win.
The Acropolis is a hidden gem in Downtown Orlando. Our server Cameron was very attentive and gave great food and drink recommendations (ask about a guava lemon drop!!). The prices are comparable to most restaurants nowadays, and the food tastes very good. It was very quiet when we went on a Sunday evening, and the ambiance is nice. 2 other employees also greeted us during our visit. We will be returning !!
The stuffed mushrooms are a must-try. Wonderful flavor and very filling! The spanakopita was great tasting and perfect for our table of 3. It came with a huge chunk of feta on the side, which was unexpected. I would not recommend the seafood dish, though, as it lacked flavor. I'm also used to scallops being seared so was disappointed by that. May have just been an off night since everything else was so good. The baklava cheesecake was an awesome finish to our meal! We didn't sit in the outdoor seating area, but it's spacious and looks like a great location when the weather is nice. We will be returning for sure.
I loved Acropolis Greek Taverna. The food was amazing and the price isn't too bad for all that we ordered. I recommend the Pasta Santorini,.souvlaki and the Greek fries. I went for a belly dancing event and lunch, and everything was great. The decor, ambience and the staff were super nice too. Thank you for a great time.
My friends! Visit this wonderful place, you won't regret it, I swear! I went with my family to the bite 30 festival, and everything was delicious, we ordered different dishes to try and they were all great! They don't have a kids menu, but it wasn't a problem because the waitress gave options for chicken with fries. I just didn't receive the information about the parking lot, if you stop at their parking lot ????, you need to ask them to validate the plate.
This place is phenomenal! Service was great and warm, food was hitting all the spots and more! Isabella greeted us as soon as we opened the door to the restaurant and sat us down with menus and took our drink orders. Annika delivered the drinks and explained the menu for us. We ordered the Lamb Kabob and the Gyro platter. The food tasted so good and experience was overall amazing at Acropolis. Recommend it to anyone around the area to check them out.
