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.

    Cannot say enough good things. Food-excellent. Portions-generous. Price-reasonable. Service-friendly, efficient and helpful. Ambiance-relaxed and playful, with staff playing music that got the whole place dancing. I'd give it a 6 if I could.

    We had the halibut and the lasagne, they were both great and the portions were enormous, but the highlight was the owner playing rousing music on his oud accompanied by a member of his staff on a drum, with the whole restaurant clapping and signing to the music!

    Very good place for a date night! Good variety on the menu for my vegetarian wife, as well as for the meat lover that I am ! Ambience was great! They definitely pack them in, and the noise level gets a little loud when they come out and do the music but it’s well worth it! Definitely adds a touch of Mediterranean ambience.
