Athens dinner recommendations with lit Acropolis view

We’re flying in a day early pre cruise. Greek friends highly recommended we have evening dinner at a restaurant with a view of the Acropolis at night lit up. We will be staying at InnAthens near Plaka and the Acropolis. Any restaurant recommendations and what time do the Acropolis lights come on (and Athens get dark)?

Also a friend highly recommended a treat in Greece consisting of feta, honey and phyllo. Do most restaurants offer and what is this dessert/appetizer called. Thank you.

I mainly know a few bars with a view of the Acropolis but there are quite a few rooftop bars / restaurants in Athens.
Two that I could recommend are the A for Athens.

And the 360 degrees

Both are located next to Monastiraki Square, about a 10-minute walk from your hotel.

The dish you're talking about is called in Greek "Feta me Meli" it's basically fried feta cheese wrapped in phylo. It is sometimes on the menu of restaurants in the starters (or Mezze) section. Personally I am not a fanatic.
