Acropolis Greek Taverna

Went for breakfast on a Friday morning. Was greeted by Ken (who was very nice and welcoming). Ambiance is great and food was delicious. Definitely will visit again. 5 Star A++

Are there any good nice Greek restaurants? I liked the atmosphere here, but it definitely had some things they could work on. It's fairly new from what I understand, but open long enough to work out the kinks.Service was just OK at first and fizzled towards the end. Our waitress disappeared a few times and refills of waters and drinks could have came faster. It was to the point of just deciding to go somewhere else for drinks instead of waiting on more here.They did have a belly dancer, but the music was barely audible. We talked to her during her routine and I could hear her clear as day. It was a nice touch, but no plates breaking or any type of festive atmosphere for her. It was odd!The seafood dish was good and so was the fish with rice dish as the creamy sauce and rice combined nicely. So they do have some promising things on the menu. I wanted a gyro but it was only available during lunch.... ughSome of the diners at the table ordered lamb lollipops and they were severely overcooked. Such as shame and they didn't finish them as they were terrible.I don't plan on returning here which is a shame as it seemed like it would be a good place. I'll probably return when it turns into something else!

To my understanding, Acropolis has just opened in downtown Orlando and we were looking for a place on NYE that could hold 7 people with a last minute reservation and they had one. The location is a little obscure on the opposite side of bustling downtown and closer to Colonial, in the bottom of an office building. I can see why it's mostly a lunch/happy hour spot, but we were pleasantly surprised that the location was close to where we were staying. I'm giving my pros/cons with the understanding that 1) it's new and kinks are still being worked out and 2) it was NYC and when we got there was packed:Pros:* The food was REALLY good. We ordered the greek sampler (tarasalata, hummus, tzaziki and baba ganouj with cut pita and yum, yum, yum. We also ordered the spanikopita, which was SO good and I had the octopus app for my meal, which was very well done, but was over tomatoes and I would have preferred if it was over hummus to be a little more filling.* Location - felt safe, was easy to get to via car or veo. On NYE, they validated parking.* Ambiance was great, there was a belly dancer and the restaurant was bustling, but not too loud and lit, but also had a nice festive feel. NYE also had a glass of free champagne, so it was a nice touch.Cons:* The service was SLOW. Again, this was NYE, but they only had 2-3 servers working that I saw it took an absolutely ridiculous amount of time for a 9pm reservation. We were there for over 2 hours and after 10, there were very few tables and service was still slow. This is the reason behind my 4 stars vs. 5.* They advertised plate throwing, so we envisioned Taverna Opa! from Pointe Orlando type of feel, but not even a napkin was thrown (the flip side is it wasn't a dangerous environment! :D)I would definitely come back given the quality of the food, but wanted to give a full review of my experience!

Had the most amazing calamari and Greek salad there! Also loved the service and ambiance.

We visited this new Greek restaurant on its second day of opening to celebrate a birthday, and it was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with beautifully curated decor that transported us straight to the Mediterranean.The food? Incredible. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, from the perfectly seasoned gyros to the freshest tzatziki we've ever had. The service was equally outstanding--friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure we had a memorable experience.It's hard to believe they've only just opened because everything ran so smoothly. If you're craving a slice of Greece, this is the place to be! We'll definitely be back.

I've now returned for two more visits. I have found the service to be consistently great and the ambience is still very nice. I have now tried the all American burger which was very good and super filling. I've had the Greek salad which is one of the best I've ever eaten. The red sangria is very strong and delicious. I'll be returning often!

I really wanted to like Acropolis Greek Tavern, and there were definitely some highlights, but overall, I left feeling pretty disappointed. The place is cute, and the belly dancer was fantastic--she was really sweet and added some charm to the evening. But honestly, the vibe just didn't match the lively atmosphere their website promises. No plate breaking or napkin throwing, just a belly dancer every 30-45 minutes with music you can hardly hear, which was nice but not what I expected.The drinks were good, but the food was hit or miss. The lamb lollipops were overcooked and had an overwhelming charred taste that took away from tasting the meat. The Greek potatoes were just okay, nothing special. However, my friend's fish with rice was amazing--the rice had great flavor and if I return, would order something with that.The real bummer of the evening was getting my payment slip back after my card was charged and seeing that my bill came to $58.04, but my card was charged $60.21. I'd love to know why that was or how that happened, but unfortunately didn't have time to address that while we were there. Service was extremely slow and lacking.Acropolis is fairly new (maybe has been open for a month or two), so I'm hoping it's growing pains. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype or the fun atmosphere their website describes. I would possibly give it a second shot, but I'm on the fence.

We ordered a few things on the menu, I'll start with the good then end with the bad. The sangria was so yummy and the 2 for 1 deal was the best! The mussels in cream sauce were really good, flavorful and well salted. The garlic bread was delicious and fresh. The lamb gyro platter was very dry, the fries were good and so was the feta garlic dip but overall they could have done better on the gyro platter. The service was pretty good, our waiter was really sweet but one of our friends orders took really long but they were kind of to throw in a complimentary baklava cheesecake which was really delicious. The ambiance was nice, super pretty and perfect for a Sunday brunch spot. The free 2 hour parking was incredible especially since parking downtown can be a headache. I would come back for sure!
