    Crispy Chicken and Bacon Sandwich
    Kathy W.

    It has been a few years since we came last time. We are here to celebrate my sons 12th birthday Appetizer 1. Crab dip - it's pretty tasty, I really like the crispy bread that came with the dip. Be honest - I do like the crab dip from village tavern a bit more - because it's more rich in flavor. But this crispy bread is definitely good. 2. Calamari- this is the best I've had in the area - fresh with light batter so the flavor was very goid and not greasy. 3. Tapas - it was a nice surprise, I didn't have much expectations on this dish , the hummus was good and so was the meatball. As well as the chicken. My fav was the grilled cauliflower- very well seasoned and cooked to perfection - definitely my fav Entrees 1. I had shrimp salad - 6 shrimps and lettuce plus a few cucumber and radish. Very light. I liked crispy pita in the salad to give it a better texture and taste. But it's a bit over priced. 2. Pecan crusted trout - overall good, nothing special. 3. Beef tips - my son liked it , cooking the beef to medium was just right and it was still tender in texture. 4. Crab cake - my mom said she like the ones from village tavern better as there were less crab meat here. 5. Crispy chicken and bacon - sandwich was good. The fries were super small in size and hard to pick up. Our waitress was kind enough to bring us new ones though. Dessert 1. Free dessert for birthday boy - was nice price if chocolate cake. Didn't get to take a picture as my son finished it so fast. Lol. 2. Affogato- birthday boy's second dessert - he loved it. And coffee made the ice cream more delightful. 3. Frozen nutty Irishman - I like the multi layer with ice cream and nutty layers - the texture was complexed and adds to the flavor. I do prefer smooth texture chocolate cake usually but this dessert adds more sophistication than pure chocolate. 4. Cranberry upside down cake - a bit on the sweet side but the cake texture was smooth. And nice presentation- see picture Service was fast - we made reservations for noon and there were lots of ppl around but no additional wait time and we were seated right away.

    Green Valley Grill always has exciting new things on the menu and has a brunch that can't be beat. It is a bit pricey, but you are getting a high end experience, down to the servers and waitstaff in semi formal attire.

    I treated myself to breakfast at Green Valley Grill yesterday, and I'm so glad I did. The French toast, fruit, and coffee were all delicious. The service was excellent. I always love GVG!

    Went here for my birthday dinner with my wonderful family so the atmosphere was superb. The short ribs are to die for. The chicken I ordered was good as always. Polenta was on point. Salmon delish. I always line this place. Service excellent. It never disappoints.

    Green Valley does not disappoint ! So glad we were able to make a reservation, we were able to walk right in and have no wait. Our waitress was very pleasant and very prompt. I enjoyed my scallops and wine. Even tried a few mussels from my husband's paella, they were also very tasty. The dining room is big and spacious but our booth felt very private. Even the bathrooms had a feel of class!

    Crema Catalina. A special for the winemakers dinner.

    GVG may not be your first thought for breakfast but I'd suggest it should be. The breakfast and brunch menu is great and reflects the menu/feel of the lunch and dinner menus. Service is excellent and the prices are very fair. One of the things I really like about breakfast there is that you can make reservations which works out well on the weekends. Excellent food, excellent environment, great people, and a wonderful experience. Give it a try!

    I can't say enough about how much our family loves eating at Green Valley Grill! The chicken salad is so good. The cocktails are pretty yummy as well. We've tried so many items on the menu and have enjoyed them all. The service is always outstanding and such a supportive crew. The ambiance is so comfortable and suffocated! Inside or outside you can't go wrong! Oh and don't miss out on the bread!

    My favorite local place that never disappoints. I've already been a couple times in one month. My filet was like butter. The potato leek soup is always delish and the drinks are always made with love.

    We dined at Green Valley Grill before a concert last weekend and had a great experience! We made the reservation for 3:30 a few weeks in advance and were seated right away. What drew me to this spot were the reviews, menu, and atmosphere prior to reserving. Their menu is fairly extensive and we ordered off the dinner menu. They have an incredibly impressive wine list. Our server greeted us about five minutes after we sat down and was helpful. The atmosphere was cozy and we loved the interior architecture of the building. We both got waters and I opted for my usual white wine, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. It was good! Our server also offered warm bread once we ordered our appetizer: Basque Beef Meatballs. They are served with pine nuts, wilted spinach, and a side of spiced saffron yogurt and crostini. Although slightly salty, these were delicious and melted in your mouth with a very unique flavor. For our entrées , my husband ordered the short rib sliders but on focaccia bread because he couldn't do dairy, and it was delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the Parmesan crusted chicken served with seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes. I absolutely loved my dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and served with a goat cheese as well as a lemon garlic sauce which I got on the side. The mashed potatoes were great as well as the seasonal vegetables: perfectly cooked and seasoned zucchini squash. We had a great experience at the Green Valley Grill and would definitely come back if ever in Greensboro again!

    Four of us came for Sunday brunch. I was immediately impressed with the decor and overall warm feel of the interior. The staff were very attentive and friendly, excellent service. The cocktails were well made and delicious. The menu offer excellent choices for both the breakfast side and the lunch side. We started with the Mediterranean Tapas platter. Followed by the Avocado Ciabatta Toasts, the Grilled Chicken salad and the Parmesan crusted Chicken. All of these dishes were plentiful and delicious. We have got to come back here for dinner. This place is great.

    If you're looking for a dining destination that makes a 90-minute drive feel worthwhile, book a table at Green Valley Grill! Stepping through the doors, you're immediately transported. The soaring ceilings and the glow of lights woven through the interior palm trees create a sophisticated, yet incredibly warm and cozy atmosphere provided by Morgan who provided top tier service. We were absolutely delighted by our appetizer choice! We dove into the crab and spinach dip and highly recommend asking for the sourdough toast chips instead of crackers--the tanginess is the perfect counterpoint to the creamy dip. My one small critique lies with the cocktails. While they were beautifully presented, they just missed that refined, handcrafted 'wow' factor that I look for. A good drink, but not an unforgettable one. Now, for the triumph: the main courses! The Parmesan crusted chicken with mashed potatoes was a stunning balance of cozy Southern style and bright Mediterranean flair. And the massive spinach salad? That combination of sweet peaches and tangy goat cheese, all elevated by the dressing, was pure bliss. We would absolutely return. As a final pro tip: don't rush out! The stunning landscape outside the entrance is truly beautiful and makes for a fantastic backdrop to snap a few photos to remember your beautiful night.

    Warm Grilled Salmon and Warm Farro Salad
    Jenaia A.

    Solid food and service every time. I do try to get something from the special features list since they aren't standard menu items. I can't say that I've ever been disappointed and this time was no exception! The first time, I got the warm salmon farro salad and it was so good! On a future visit, I tried the shrimp fattoush salad. I can't say it was a hit but I liked the freshness of the ingredients.

    The filet mignon looks great. How many ounces is it?

    The menu doesn't have the weight. It's only $36 so it's probably a 4-6oz filet. You may want to call first.

    Can I wear a Tshirt and shorts?

    Hi Gustino, You will see everything from a dinner jacket to shorts and t-shirt. It's as formal or casual as you like.

    Is the outdoor seating heated?

    I do not believe so

    I have mixed feelings. We went during Spring Break. We were in Greensboro and decided to try it…read morebased on a friend's recommendation . Trying to find parking was a nightmare. It took over 20 minutes. Once we entered, we were greeted with "We're Closing soon. " it was 2:30. I explained about the parking hassle. She responded by huffing "I know." We got the gyro platter. Serving was pretty generous. With the gyro meat came 1/2 a boiled potato, plain. Rice (mushy) and green beans with tomatoes which was okay but possibly overcooked. The broccoli and Tzatziki were good. Our server counted out the register nearby while we ate. I asked about dessert, since we had already decided not to return. She said "I already rang you out." Dessert was hot and custard like. It was the best part. So the pricing wasn't terrible, the food was okay, and the service was questionable. If you want to try it come very early in order to find parking and hopefully better service.

    How ironic that I ended up at this restaurant for lunch with my friend Andy after just having…read morevisited Greece! Just a couple of months ago I was sitting in a gorgeous hotel in Athens for $80 a night eating a huge Greek hamburger and staring at the Acropolis out of my balcony window. As the clock struck midnight at New Year's Eve, I had the added Joy of watching fireworks soar over this iconic ancient site. What a memory! So, it seemed only fitting when Andy suggested Acropolis that we meet there for lunch. I literally had not been in that restaurant for a decade or two. As a matter of fact, when I first moved to Greensboro, I think it was the only Greek restaurant in the area. I remember in my early years at The Community Theatre of Greensboro meeting many a client at the Acropolis downtown for lunch. Although I rarely dined there for dinner, I was a big fan of their moussaka, Greek salad and some other Greek dishes. Although this place never blew me away, I always enjoyed the meal and I remember the owner. She was a pleasant woman, always happy to see me and very welcoming and proud of her restaurant. I have a feeling she no longer is around but she made a lasting impression on me. So, I returned to Acropolis a few days ago. Absolutely nothing has changed LOL. The décor looks exactly the same, the menu looks the same and the atmosphere is the same. That's not a bad thing, just an observation. I ordered a diet Coke to start, and although I like unlimited servings from the fountain, I was okay with Acropolis giving me a nice big bottle for myself. It got me through the meal! Their menu is inviting and reasonably priced. They have specials everyday and I was excited to have the Greek chicken. Unfortunately, when I ordered it they told me it was gone. I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter and it was very tasty. Instead of the rice I asked for a double serving of vegetables which they accommodated. The green beans were quite good We arrived at 1:00 p.m. and the restaurant closes for lunch at 2:00. Unfortunately, the place was not very crowded and so at 2:00 p.m. we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant. I felt the pressure for us to leave which I did not appreciate. They kept clearing our plates and at 2:05 they turned off some of the lights. I understand they wanted to go home but I don't think you should be rushing patrons out of your restaurant 5 minutes after the closing time if they are still in the middle of their meal or conversation. Just saying! Feeling like they wanted us to leave, we headed out. I have mixed feelings about the rating for this restaurant. On the one hand, I felt I was pushed out of the door after 2:00 p.m. I would have liked to have seen unlimited fountain drinks and I was turned off by Greek chicken being offered as a special of the day but being told they don't have any more. On the other hand, kudos to any restaurant that can sustain itself for decades and decades like Acropolis has. Now they are across the street from the baseball stadium. I also was shocked but pleasantly surprised that there was free parking on the street right down the block from the restaurant. In honor of longevity and being the first Greek restaurant to be brave enough to open in downtown Greensboro, I'm going to give them some kudos but would advise them in the future to give people a chance to enjoy their lunch or tell them when they walk in at 1:00 p.m. that they have 1 hour to eat and then they need to get out! LOL I would have to say that I do prefer places like Odeh's, Nazareth Bread and Mythos, but if you are downtown and want to experience a nice sit-down experience of a Greek meal from a restaurant that has stood the test of time, I would head to the Acropolis! It didn't compare to my sitting in my hotel room in Athens, staring at the real Acropolis on New Year's Eve, but I had an enjoyable lunch and very enjoyable company!

Very hard to find a spot that cooks the gyro lamb in this authentic style. The lamb gyro was unbelievably flavorful. Meat fresh and tender, complex spices, homemade tzatziki, and a fresh pita to wrap up all that flavor. Also had a Meze sampler with dolmas, hummus, spanakopita, falafel and a side salad. Flavor bombs! My wife said the falafel was one of the best she's ever had. Fresh and crispy on the outside, with a soft and well spiced inside. And the dolmas...you know when you have one that has hard rice inside that is dry and bland? Well this is the exact opposite. Soft and tender rice, juicy and tasty. Last but not least, the owners went above and beyond while we were in there. She was tending to us and making sure everything was to our satisfaction. He was in the kitchen but checked on us, and made sure to acknowledge us on the way out. Pure love pours into their food, and spills over to the customers. Don't miss this one. It's worth it.
