The live music and dancing was the best part of my experience.There is a 1 hour+ wait time for walk in’s, so make sure you make a reservation.The food is okay, but this is the only place that’s open late until 11 pm in the area.We tried the bruschetta which was amazing, grilled jumbo prawns which was a tad bit salty, Dametra royal combination which was good to sample different appetizers. I really liked Spanakopita, baba ghanouge, and the tzatziki sauce. We also got the Dametra veggie delight which we didn’t enjoy so much. The baklava was a bit too sweet for my taste. But overall a decent experience!

Go here and eat the lamb. It's that simple. Excellent space with cool ambiance. Exceptional service. Friendly and fast but not rushed. I had the lamb shank and one of my buddies had the lamb Kebab. Both were perfection in different ways. The Shank is so tender from the long braise and still has its deep rich flavor. I got it with the potatoes au gratin that were great with the demi glace. The Kebab was more steaky and more appropriate for a less adventurous palate. Cooked to order and tender but more toothsome than the shank. Will return when i'm down from the city next.

Probably it’s the place I most go when I am in Carmel. Service is great, food is delicious and the atmosphere is amazing. They always have some different attraction happening. Definitely I highly recommend it.

We’ve ordered mussel and it was a bit chewy and gyros salad which was delicious. Service is top notch. In general a good place to eat in Carmel.

Couldn't have had a better evening. The food was delicious! Service was amazing. All of the staff were very friendly. We really enjoyed speaking with the manager. The live music was an extra special touch and everyone was up and dancing. Highly recommend a meal here.

This restaurant really doesn’t know what it wants to be. I should have known better based on looking at the menu beforehand but it was recommended by our hotel which was a very reputable source. There are too many types of cuisine offered. Both our dishes were very subpar. The clams were incredibly chewy and you could tell it was low quality seafood. The Greek platter was okay but nothing special for the price. The tables were very close together and our waiter was friendly enough but not attentive at all. I had to ask for my water to be refilled multiple times. I feel there are much better options in CBTS.

This is the best place to take kids for dinner without ruining other people's Carmel getaway ?. The ambiance and service is still impeccable, but it's relatively easy to get a reservation and the food comes out quickly so you could be done with dinner in 1-1.5hrs (for better or worse, depending on what you're looking for).
