and an extensive bar menu to the Grove.
General manager Deano Kastis is looking forward to bringing his authentic Greek food to Florida’s east coast. “We’re hoping this becomes your second
home,” Kastis told Short Order.
Menu items are well-priced and
include traditional favorites like mousaka ($12); dolmades stuffed grape
leaves ($12); kabob platters ($14-16); avgolemono Greek chicken and
lemon soup ($4); and pastitsio ($12). In addition, a large variety of
fresh seafood will be offered, as well as lighter sandwiches, salads,
and wraps.
Acropolis will be open for lunch and dinner. We’re looking forward to the belly dancing!
