Food was just meh. I think my meal was a premade frozen dish that gets heated up because part of it was still cold at the bottom. Definitely not freshly made food, more of a fast food chain type restaurant serving prepackaged ready made. Service was attentive, but food quality was noticeably lacking. Definitely would not recommend and would not return. Expensive for what they offer. Skip this place.

Service was very slow despite an empty room. They have a lot of takeout business and that seems to take priority.
Acropolis Greek Taverna - Ybor CityResponded on January 9, 2025
Chica, we are truly sorry to hear your service was slow even when the restaurant was empty. That’s not typical for us; we do strive to serve all of our guests promptly, and it sounds like we missed the mark on your visit. Please give us a call at (813)242-4545 and ask to speak with Aspen or Greg so we can address your experience and make things right. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Great experience except the server was not very good at multi-tasking. It took too long for simple tasks. Bringing the check was a nightmare. Items from our party were on the wrong one and had to be fixed.

The food was great, just as we expected. Quite large portions and most diners seemed to take some home. The music was quite loud outside and on the bar side of the restaurant, so we asked for the quieter side.
