Acropolis Restaurant Review

Acropolis Restaurant
If you like Greek food, I have the place for you. It is the Acropolis Restaurant and Banquet Center. It is located on Elmwood Drive right off Route 302 in the Prides Corner area of Westbrook. It is a pleasant place, with nice place settings. There is live music on Friday and Saturday nights. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5 pm -12:30 am.
My friends and I were the only guests at that time and we were entertained by the owners' three children, ages 13, 12 and 9. They played instruments and sang Greek music. They are very talented and we enjoyed them tremendously.

Two of us began with a nice, full bodied red Greek wine and one enjoyed a Greek beer. With the wine we were served warm toasted bread with Tzatsiki , which is a cucumber and yogurt dip. Then two of us indulged in a very generous bowl of delicious Kotosoupa Avgolemono. This is a chicken and rice soup with egg and lemon. The flavor was full and the soup was hot. That in itself was a treat. The soup was very filling and it could have been my whole meal. I highly recommend it.

One of our party had the lightly fried scallops, another had the Pork Souvlaki and I had the grilled lamb. All meals came with a choice of spinach rice or lemon roasted potatoes and a mixed vegetable combination that reminded me of Ratatouille. The lemon roasted potatoes were a nice change from usual restaurant offerings. Everyone raved about the meals. They were very good and the only criticism I would have is that the lamb was very thinly sliced and a little dry.
The service was excellent. Our waitress was very well informed and attentive. The owners were gracious and came to the table to speak with us. I hope word of this restaurant gets around and that it becomes very popular. I would give it four stars and encourage any readers of this blog to try it out.

Tony Boffa is one of the regular performers and once a month they have Greek Night with Greek music and dancing and that is very popular.
