    First time diners and we had a great dinner at Predalina! My party tried raw oysters, zucchini chips, blue crab pasta, 1899 kebab, salmon, lamb orecchiette, risotto, and roasted carrots. The food is delicious and there were zero critiques. Our server was also very attentive. The inside tables are a little tight, but once the restaurant filled in our neighbor’s conversation was less noticeable. My only disappointment is that I noted in the booking we were celebrating a birthday and there was no acknowledgment of this. However, it’s not a deterrent and we can’t wait to dine again.

    Once again Acropolis provides a fantastic evening for our family. We had a new waitress who was on Day 1 out of training. She was so sweet and though she made a few mistakes with our meal, she was working hard to make it all great! We live in Texas, but when in town, this is a multiple must visit.

    We went for their Christmas Eve dinner. This was an amazing meal. One of the best I have ever had. From the hor d'oeuvres to the appetizers and then the salmon, duck, rabbit and langoustine. Then topped off by an amazing dessert. Of course, accompanied by a delicious lemon drop martini. The atmosphere was festive, and the wait staff missed nothing. Lilac is definitely on our list of favorite restaurants. Can't wait to go back. KUDOS!
