This place has very good desserts! The staff is generally friendly. But, on the whole, I haven't found food that is on my diet, that I like! My family loves it, especially breakfast, but living very close to them, we will grab desserts to go!! Coconut cake for me, key lime cheesecake with raspberry sauce for my husband!! Wonderful start to a Netflix Friday night!!
My family ate here with a large party. The waitstaff was not very good at handling the size of our party. Drinks were rarely refilled; some of us had no food, while others had salads, appetizers, and/or meals. I was nearly done with my entree before the server finally brought the balsamic vinegar for my salad that I requested upon ordering and three more times thereafter. An order I placed for my daughter was not made as requested and as a result was swimming in oil. She did not eat the dish and the server did not have a pleasant or apologetic attitude about taking that item off of our bill. Her father requested a vegetable wrap without french fries in the wrap. Half-way through eating the wrap he realized there were fries in it. The selection of healthy foods on the menu were slim to none. Even the vegetarian dishes are doused in cheese and oil. The pita there is pocketless and nothing like the traditional pita with which I am familiar, but there's no indication of this on the menu. I would recommend dining elsewhere, especially if you have any allergies or other health concerns that are diet related.
This is one of my favorite places to go for food. It doesn't matter what you are in the mood for they have it on the menu and is all good. By far the best pizza in the area. Breakfast is dirt cheap and always good. The desserts are also amazing.
Very disappointed!!! My wife and I took friends (a couple) for breakfast there. They were hesitant about going due to a previous negative experience but we were able to convince them. Well, we found mold on a toast so we call the waitress. This was about halfway through breakfast so we all stopped eating the rest. The waitress apologized and told the manager about it. The manager never came to our table to apologize. When we mentioned it to the 2 people at the front register, as we were paying our full bill, one of them just said "I don't work on the kitchen". That got my friend fired up so he had to say something about it. For that of "the benefit of the doubt", I sent Acropolis 2 emails asking for an explanation but no one ever responded. If you are going to eat there, bring your magnifying glass... the only good thing about it, they didn't charge extra for the mold. The one star, is because this system will not allow you to post unless you click on at least one star.
This rating is not about the food. Food was excellent. The waitress was so so.....but the greeting & attitude of the Hostess & Man at register makes me not want to come back. No smiles. Made us feel unwelcome & uncomfortable. The Hostess looked like she might bite your head off at any minute. Very surprising to us since the Greeks are a kind & hospitable culture.....not here for sure. Customer Service is very important....doesn't matter how good your product is.
Excellent Menu. Courteous staff. Fair prices for good food. If you don't see it on the menu -- just ask ! Incredible desserts and breads made fresh daily. NOT THERE ANYMORE. SAD. LASTED 20 YRS.
Went for breakfast on the suggestion of some locals, but left disappointed. Atmosphere was nice and clean. Omelettes: overcooked. "Fried" potatoes were more like oven-roasted and seasoning was unappealing (to the point my wife wouldn't eat them at all). Pancakes were grainy and bitter.
I ordered two salads for pick-up. The salads were fresh, delicious and generous in portions. However, I also asked for a slice of Tiramisu...when I got home I noticed the Tiramisu that cost $4.28 was sliced as thin as deli ham!...what a rip off! Make sure you pick your own slice of cake, pie, what have you - before you walk out the door!
