We were looking for a place to go downtown on a Thursday night and this was the prefect place. Parking was easy to find in the garage and the fee was validated up to 2 hrs by the restaurant. The servers were seated at the bar having a conversation when I entered around 5:28 pm. I'm sure it was because the place was pretty much empty which made the ambiance very easy to take it. Very cute spot! Our waitress was friendly, fast and knowledgeable of the menu except for the cocktails. I think she said she was 20 or 18 and never had a drink, but she was able to suggest a pretty great one based on what her peers have said. We both had the pain killer and her friends were spot on (great choice!) The appetizers came out fresh, fast and were delicious. The calamari was seasoned and fried well. It even came with a surprise; a strand of hair in it. The young lady apologized and took it back immediately for a replacement. I hate that we didn't get a picture of it or hang on to it until the manager came out and requested to see it. It was actually wiped on a napkin and impossible to find since it was a blonde hair. He did assure us that everyone in the kitchen hair is well cover and one is even completely bald. The blonde employee has extremely long hair he said and since we admitted that the hair was not "12 feet" long , he was convinced it wasn't hers. I don't know, maybe it was from the dog that was nearby and had to be pulled back from attempting to join our table. This interaction with the manager was weird for lack of a better word. It hadn't been 2 minutes when we received the food and we were asking for a replacement , not to take it off the bill. The replacement was perfection! The Ouzo Mussels was 10000/10. I would have those over and over again. The lamb chops were under seasoned, I'd had better ones at Longhorn. I ate one of them and asked a takeout tray. Was pretty full from the appetizer and drink. My dog Sadie, loved the lamb chops! I don't know if I would return, but I would order the mussels on Uber Eats! The waitress did misspeak on the happy hours price of the signature cocktail. We were told they were -$2 but that was only for the regular ones. They still honored it, so that was great. If you like sangrias they have them for buy one get one free for happy hour also, (I can't confirm or deny if that was a misspeak as well).

Magical Dining #6 and this was such a good vibe ! My good friend and fellow Yelp Elite Greg invited me to dinner on a Sunday here and I have been back two times since ! Food , drinks and service are all 10/10! We started off with the sampler appetizer and mussels while enjoying mango cosmopolitans recommended by our server who was amazing. After 3 of those , our dinner was served and the lamb lollipops were so tender and flavorful with the potatoes , I had no left overs. We ordered some painkiller cocktails and oh my my , hands down my favorite . Dessert was ok , nothing fabulous in flavor but everything else made up for that. This place is wonderful and I highly recommend visiting if you love Greek food and belly dancers ! Check their instagram or website for special events and happy hours !

This is going to be more of a probationary review, since I only ordered a bit of food, but i definitely plan on returning. It sits in a large ornate business center/hotel lobby, it is a bit confusing on getting there from where you parked (the parking garages seem to have 50 contradictory signs) but the interior is very nice, clean, modern, while still feeling "Greek" enough. The appetizer sampler was very good with more than enough dip and bread for everything, of note the baba ghanoush had a distinctly smokey flavor which I liked but my dinner date did not. The falafel platter was also light, crispy, and excellent. All of our cocktails were very light, bright, floral and well made, with the perfect amounts of alcohol. And the honey cake was absolutely to die for. Worth the trip alone. I should note that as I was wrapping up I somehow managed to karate chop my martini glass, twice in a row, and sent a CASCADE of glass all over myself, my drinks, and possibly the outer reaches of Jupiter. Our waitress was super nice about it and mentioned she sees broken glasses everyday, though mine was definitely the most unique execution of the technique. Wonderful little restaurant, and I plan on going back soon to try a wider array of their selections. I will probably request a plastic cup however, for my own safety.

Came here for magical dining for dinner and turns out it was also happy hour! We ordered (between 2 people) the appetizer platter, spanakopita, lamb lollipops, siros salmon, baklava cheesecake, and tuxedo bomb. It's $40/person! A great deal to try new restaurants and menu items. Food didn't take too long to come out and our server was such a sweetheart. It was definitely a little emptier than expected, but it's worth the trip here to try them out!

Chicken Rhodes
Greg L.

WOW! I'm so glad I gave this restaurant another chance. I was impressed that after my first visit, the Manager, Ken Melton, contacted me to discuss some issues I experienced per my review last month. Mr. Melton asked specific questions relative to the date I initially dined and other circumstances with certain food items. Based on this recent visit, I found out one of the chefs in the kitchen that first night I dined is no longer employed there. Obviously, this person was let go as they did not follow the quality standards instilled by Mr. Melton based on the experience and the meal I had this evening. I invited my fellow Yelp friend, Ricki, to join me as she was interested in this restaurant herself. She was impressed with the ambience of the restaurant as well as our exceptional server, Ashlyn. Ashlyn was truly a five star server. She was diligent in her duties, provided lively conversation and just added to the overall relaxing and enjoyable evening. (She also makes a great cosmopolitan, which I'll get to later in the review.) As for the food, this visit was truly a gratifying experience also. I recommended the spanakopita to Ricki based on my first visit, and she was impressed with the platter and the amount of food presented as the appetizer. She also ordered the Lamb Lollipops (French rack of Lamb, cooked, medium, and seasoned well). She had me try one of them and I agreed they were outstanding. She finished off her magical dining experience with the baklava cheesecake for dessert and declared she was more than satisfied with the overall meal. As for me, I gave the Ouzo Mussles a second try. The presentation alone was quite different from my initial experience with this appetizer. (See the previous picture and the recent picture.) The creamy ouzo sauce, enhanced with garlic, onion, basil and tomato was divine. No salty taste, plus you could tell the mussles were fresh, as Ricki agreed. I noticed that this time, the appetizer included sliced Parmesan cheese on top of the mussels (as stated on the menu ), but was missing from the appetizer during my initial visit. (Possibly why one new kitchen chef was appropriately let go?) For my entrée, I chose Chicken Rhodes, which consisted of perfectly grilled chicken breast slices, sautéed with artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and olives. it was topped with feta cheese and served with roasted vegetables. It was an excellent dish! For dessert, I had Mama's Honey Cake. It was just as good as the first time I had it. For drinks, Ricki started off with The Painkiller. Based on the smile on her face, I knew she was enjoying that drink selection. For me, I went with the Pomegranate Cosmopolitan, which I had last time and thoroughly enjoyed that concoction. For our second round of drinks, Ashlyn recommended I add mango to this drink, which she created herself. When Ricki heard mango, she decided to have that as her second choice also. Besides being a great waitress, Ashlyn definitely possesses excellent bartender skills. The drinks were presented with an orange slice and a lime peel and were heavenly. They were so good, we decided to have one more to complete the evening. Thank you, Mr. Melton, for taking the time to listen to customer feedback and taking necessary action to keep up the high standards of this restaurant. A special shoutout to Mike, the Night Manager, who stopped by our table and had a nice conversation with us. We will definitely be back.

I'm always on the hunt for a Greek restaurant whenever I'm visiting a different city. This spot was only about a 10-minute walk from our hotel, so it felt like an easy choice for a Friday night. Surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all, so we made our way straight to the bar. We were definitely noticed when we walked in, but it took quite a while for the bartender to actually come over. She was talking with a coworker behind the bar with their backs turned to us. It wasn't just a minute or two -- it was long enough to make you question whether you should just leave and find somewhere else. We had just gotten into town after a two-hour drive (with the last hour being awful rain), so we were really just looking forward to finally sitting down and getting a drink. Once she came over, we ordered beverages and started with the Greek lemon chicken soup and the dip platter. The soup was solid -- I'd say 7/10. The dip platter was definitely the highlight at 9/10. It came with four different dips and pita bread, and everything was flavorful and fresh. After filling up on pita, we decided to share a shrimp dish (which was an appetizer). The shrimp itself was pretty average -- maybe 4/10 -- nothing particularly memorable. Oddly enough, the bread that came with it was the best part -- 10/10. Overall, the biggest issue was the service. It was extremely slow, and we could see our food sitting at the counter for a while before it was brought over to us. It felt a bit disorganized, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. Unfortunately, it's not somewhere I'd rush back to during one of my several yearly visits to Orlando. Not terrible, but not memorable enough to return.

Acropolis is always a solid choice for a great night out. The service is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between lively and relaxed. The sangria is a must. It's fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Every sip is crisp and refreshing, making it the perfect companion to the meal. I've tried everything from their wraps to their gyros and my favorite.....the Siros salmon was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly cooked, tender and flaky, with rich flavor in every bite. The seasoning and sauce complemented the salmon and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. Between the standout dishes and excellent service, Acropolis continues to be a go to spot!

Karpathos chicken
Michael R.

I wasn't feeling well and I wanted something good to eat that would help me feel better. I decided to Uber Eats from Acropolis. Delivery time was a bit on the long side but it was worth the wait. I ordered it early enough that it still arrived at dinner time. The karpathos chicken was just what the doctor ordered. Perfectly seasoned grilled chicken breast on a bed of greens, red onion, cucumber, sundried tomatoes and feta. The dressing was luscious and a perfect accompaniment to the seasoned chicken. It also had grilled pita strips and two dolmades which were a great added treat. Loved this and started feeling better after nutritious tasty food

Gyro
Atania V.

The gyro itself? Packed. Like... they did not play when it came to the portion of meat, and I can appreciate that. The flavor was good, juicy, and definitely hit the spot hunger-wise. But here's where I got a little side-eye ... $16 for just the gyro--no fries, no drink, not even a little "thank you for your coins" moment. For that price, I expected a bit more of a complete experience. I ordered through Uber Eats, and unfortunately it arrived cold, which took away from the overall vibe. And you know... a cold gyro just doesn't hit the same--it deserves to be warm, cozy, and comforting. That said, I'm not writing them off just yet. I'd actually love to try this spot in person because I feel like the experience might be completely different fresh off the grill. Final thoughts: Good flavor, generous meat, but the value and delivery experience left me wanting more. I'll give it another shot in person before making my final verdict.

Pasticio
Cheryl W.

We came for happy hour/dinner after work and it was lovely. We shared multiple apps, all delicious, then had the chicken, pasticio, and a gyro which were also all delicious, and shared the honey cake to finish with a fabulous treat. The staff was patient and kind, service excellent, and the atmosphere was great. Bonus that 2 hours of parking was validated in their garage.

Specialty cocktail menu
Kimberly K.

Great spot for some yummy Greek food. I liked everything on their menu. This was one of the only few places that was open for Christmas dining. No special Xmas food menu but had mostly everything available from their usual menu Asked about their whole snapper fish dish and was told they don't have it anymore but I saw one come out of the kitchen. Asked the server and he said he was told they didn't have it anymore, oops, there was some miscommunication there Got the 6 pieces of lamb lollipops instead and that was a good amount to share and enjoy with everyone. Drinks were good and saganaki is always fun, it came with a lot of pita. The fried fish was very tasty. The lemon avgolemono soup and cheesecake baklava was just okay. But would like to come back to try other items on their menu. I liked the dining area setup. It was spacious and divided. Would have liked to seen some belly dancing but I guess they don't work on holidays

Elfrida R.

This restaurant is so cute and fancy while having a menu that caters to every pocket. Acropolis looks great for a date night with your honey. I came here with a group of coworkers, and we had a great time. The decor is very simple but clean and inviting. Dante, our server was helpful, friendly and serviceable. The food was splendid and so full of flavor. Can't wait to bring my hubby.

Dolmades
Nick G.

This was my first time here. I stopped in for lunch expecting to get a mediocre gyro. I was pleasantly surprised and will say it was the best I have had since leaving Chicago 8 years ago! I also ordered the dolmades and they were great! Reminded me an old friend's mother (from Greece) who made authentic dolmades all the time.. I look forward to coming back for dinner in the near future!

Ive been back 2x now and the sandwiches are 11/10 ! It's not just bread, you all the fillings the sandwich mentions and it's STACKED. The chips they come with (if you choose) are fresh and crispy. You can definitely save the other half for later or eat it all if you've got the appetite. They also have a great 1/2 sandwich soup deal that I must come back for! (Not pictured was my first sandwich the Ninja and pictured is the Ya-Mon but I requested the plantains on the side). Plenty of seating indoors and out, and great service from beginning to end. My sandwich was also piping hot but no regrets when you're hungry!

It wasn't too busy when I came by kind of in between breakfast and lunch. They have breakfast, sandwiches and burgers all day along with some specials. The staff was very friendly and mentioned that they make their bread from scratch. I ordered the BA Burger with some french fries to go. It was pretty good and juicy! The fries are thin and crispy so yum! While I waited, I noticed how well the kitchen flowed and how the staff making the food was very mindful of not being in each other's way. Looks like they have a good system in place. Next time, I'd like to try their breakfast sandwiches!
