We travel to Tampa often and always visit Acropolis. Last year when we visited my husband’s food was bland which was disappointing because it was always delicious on each trip. On this trip we gave it another try and so glad we did. Food was flavorful, service was very good, and overall a good visit. I also love that there are options for me to order vegetarian. My husband ordered the gyros plate. I ordered a hummus platter with pita bread and an order of stuffed grape leaves. Very tasty!
