Came here during the week for dinner and was able to get seated right away. Service was fantastic and the food was very tasty and reasonable. The gyro was so flavorful with the garlic fries. Great atmosphere in a great location, recommend 100%!

Really good food. Came with a group and all raved about their meals. I had the gyro plate and was quite happy with it. Also, great beers on tap. The Baklava was delish!

I recently took friends out to lunch at Demitri's Taverna in downtown Livermorebased on its high rating. Arriving when it opened, we were the only guests. "Terry" (a 5 year veteran, female) greeted us with a couple of funny comments. I then knew we were in for a good time and meal! We were not disappointed. The menu was extensive. She knew it by heart, and joyfully fielded questions. I noticed she didn't write down our order. However, she recited precisely what all 4 of us had ordered. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. One of our party dropped a fork. Much to my surprise, Terry approached our table from a distance and said, "That sounded like a fork"! She described Demitri himself as the perfect restaurant owner: There all the time, highly skilled and practiced in all tasks from bussing tables to cooking to running the bar. I was fortunate to meet him briefly. He wasn't surprised to hear of Terry's extraordinary gifts waiting on tables. I shared that his restaurant was rated #4 out of 144 in greater Livermore. He brushed aside this remarkable achievement by saying all he cared about was to provide his customers with a memorable dining experience. May Demitri and Terry's joyfully successful restaurant always delight its fortunate patrons in charming Livermore!

My husband and I needed some comfort food for dinner and Demitri's did not disappoint. We started with fries because I was really craving them and for dinner I had the chicken reganati and my husband had the pasta special with gyro meat. We sat at the bar and Terry was the person helping us and she was lovely. We also had a nice conversation with Dimitri before leaving. Looking forward to going back.

Hands down one of my favorite Greek restaurants in the Bay Area. The staff are friendly and professional, and their tzatziki is awesome. Be sure to sample some of their ouzo they have on hand.

This was our first time trying this restaurant and it was great. It has a huge, varied menu and our orders were delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. We briefly met the owner, Dimitri, who was very nice and showed concern that we were pleased with our meal and service. We definitely were!

Fabulous Greek food in the historic district of Livermore. Started with an exceptional mezze platter. We loved the Mediterranean Chicken Cobb and lamb burgers. Save room for the delicious chocolate cake and baklava! Service was also exceptional.

Not really sure why it is so highly rated. The service was average and the food was fairly flavorless. I am glad people like it, not for us.
