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.

Great food. The live music was fun, and people were encouraged to get up and dance. We appreciated the small complimentary serving of baklava for dessert.

Brought my team from work for a year-end celebration. I had been here once before and knew we would have a fun time. The energy in this place makes for a fantastic group outing. The service and food were exceptional. Looking forward to going back with a group to enjoy this place again soon.

Got away for Thanksgiving. While they offered a traditional Thanksgiving meal, we ordered lamb kebobs off the menu. If you're not starving, it's enough for two people. They were delicious!! Came with Greek salad and rice; onions and tomatoes on 2 skewers along with 3 very large pieces of lamb on each skewer. SO MUCH FUN with Greek music (people got up, clapped, danced a bit). Next time, we're sharing an appetizer and sharing a main. Complimentary "bite" of baklava after dinner. It is VERY noisy when the music is played (stringed instruments, drums, voices), but moderate noise otherwise. Very lively!!
