Greek food is always a treat. Their food culture is based on doing things generously, hospitably and tastefully. This is exactly what I found when I dined recently at the Acropolis Greek Taverna in Riverview. I wrote about the restaurant in this weeks Table Scraps newspaper column. 
The place was overflowing with everything Greek, from servers dancing...
to flurries of napkins tossed in the air... 
to even a few broken plates. Opa!
And the food was delicious. My dining partner and I immediately dove into the incredibly good Saganaki cheese. Served with pita, the dish is brought to the table, where the cheese is then ignited. 
Not-to-be-overlooked is the Falafel, hummus, eggplant dip and fried kibbe'. This appetizer platter, which had them all offered a sampling of the classics. Come hungry!
Next came very tender chicken breasts sauteed in a lemon sauce with artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and topped with crumbled cheese. 
For dessert, layers of chocolate cheesecake and cake, topped with chocolate chips and then drizzled with chocolate sauce. It was crazy delicious. 6108 Winthrop Town Center Avenue

Whoa, Lynn, you know how to dine! This Greek food looks fabulous. Since I won't be in Florida anytime soon, I'll have to eat at Santa Lucia, a great Greek restaurant in Fargo. It's only 2 1/2 hours away from me. Your photos have made my hungry for Greek food.
