About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Dametra Cafe is a casual Mediterranean restaurant. Here, diners can expect high-quality healthy food delivered quickly in a relaxed atmosphere. The decor and styling of the dining room is distinctly Greek, specifically like one of the many coastal cities that the country is known for. Between that and the hearty portions and prompt service, Dametra Cafe sits nicely between an upscale restaurant and quick-service places.Dametra's Cafe features primarily Greek cuisine, with some Italian and Spanish thrown in for good measure. Appetizers include hummus with pita bread, fried calamari, grilled jumbo prawns and steamed mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce. The meals are split between sandwiches, pasta and entrée offerings and features dishes such as shrimp and crab ravioli, a salmon burger with red onion and tomatoes, lamb shish kebab and a Greek style lamb shank with rice pilaf and fresh vegetables.

    Fun, music and dancing! I am not a dancer, but I was dancing that night. Not uncomfortable at all. Everyone was having a great time. The food was terrific! I will definitely return! Turkish coffee, Greek combo plate and Almond crusted Halibut! Yum!

    We had a fabulous time celebrating our anniversary at Dametra Cafe. We enjoyed the Greek salad and a deliciously prepared halibut. The portions are very generous and shareable for 2 people. Our waiter brought us a complimentary port wine after our meal. We were too full for dessert.

    We both had the lamb chop special. It was delicious, and cooked perfectly. We love the decor in this place, the ambiance, the food, and the friendliness. We love it when everyone gets up to dance in between the tables!
