I recently had an incredible evening at the Acropolis, a Greek restaurant in Evansville, Indiana.  I was in Evansville attending the National Student Conference where I was helping to represent Impact and our efforts to recruit future interns and staff.  Monday afternoon was individual group time and dinner was not provided that evening at the conference, so four of us headed out to eat at this Greek restaurant.

While we were waiting to be seated, the owner came out to introduce himself and to see what we were wanting to eat.  He told the hostess that we didn’t need menus, he would cook for us.  If we had a couple of hours to enjoy dinner, he would cook and bring us a variety of food.  The statement was made that if we liked beef, chicken, pork, lamb, and shrimp, we would like what he prepared for dinner.  That sounded good, so we were off to be seated and begin our adventure.  (They do have a full menu, but this is evidently the “house specialty” – you don’t order, you just eat!)

We told them our time was a little limited, we only had an hour and a half, so the food began arriving right away.  It started with a large platter that was the cold appetizers.  I wish I was more fluent in greek food and knew what it was, but the short label is that it was good!  This was followed with a dish of chicken, artichoke, mushrooms, and rice as well as a chicken pasta dish.  Then the food continued flowing to our table.  A Greek salad, shrimp in an incredible sauce, boneless pork ribs,  lamb ribs, gyros, green beans and potatoes -I’m sure I’m leaving something out- and then Doros comes out to see how we like his cooking and if we are filling up or would like more food.  We had consumed more than enough and our time was dwindling, so we declined additional food.  This meant it was time for dessert and coffee to finish our evening meal.

Wow!  What variety.  Everything from the service and atmosphere to the food was excellent.  Angie did a great job taking care of us and making sure we had what we needed for an enjoyable meal.  I enjoyed the time spent with Dean, Jeff, and Randy as we learned from each other and grew to appreciate even more what God is doing in and through each life.  Angie appreciated our committment to pray for her.  As we left, she brought us a request from Doros to pray for his son who has had meningitis.  We were glad to do that and to continue to pray for them.

If you are ever in Evansville, Indiana and want some great Greek food at a great place, I would highly recommend Acropolis.  It was truly an experience of food and friends to remember!
