I have been coming to Dimitri's since I was a kid. I would always come there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with my friends and family.My favorite food to get for breakfast is the two-egg omelet with ham and asparagus with a side of home fries and wheat toast. For lunch and dinner, I always get the Santa Fe chicken wrap with a side of fries. I have been getting these delicious foods since I was a kid. I would always get the same foods whenever I have chances to come back.The service is outstanding. The employees are always prepared to take our drink and food orders. I like how they always check in to see if I am satisfied with the foods I eat. I cannot thank them enough for this amazing service!Thank you so much Dimitri's Diner for everything you have done!

We LOVE this place! Fantastic gyros, Greek salads, dolmatas, its ALL delicious!Really stand out Greek with great ambiance - you feel like you are having a meal in a little spot you discovered on one of the Greek islands. Not pretentious at all - just straight up authentic Greek cuisine - Kalà óreksi!

A new restaurant in this location has been a long time coming. I was hopeful it would be another "go to" location - good for family meals, date night, take out or a quick bite at the bar. Once the signage went up, I was a bit skeptical as to the appeal of a Tapas place but waited to see the offering. Stopped in to take a look at the menu during the first days open. A diverse menu to be sure - but almost an exact duplication of a new Tapas spot that opened in town. This was not necessarily a bad thing as I had tried the other place and liked the food so the convenience of BM was a plus.I went in for dinner on a weekday evening. I went to the bar for a drink and to eat as I prefer this when trying a new place. Things were rocky from the outset. I sat at the bar for several minutes before the bartender even acknowledged me - and he was almost directly in front of me but deep into some sort of paperwork. There were a stack of menus sitting in the middle of the bar so I grabbed one - it happened to be a drink menu so I took a look and once the bartender noticed me I was able to order a drink. I also asked for a food menu and he pointed to the one in front of me...I said it was a drink menu but he did not seem to get it...finally I showed him it was for drinks and not food and he grabbed one from the others strewn on the bar and gave it to me.I placed an order for a couple of small plates that looked decent. Fried eggplant with fresh mozzarella and a the crab cakes. While the restaurant was not very bus, the food did take a while. A couple who arrived after me and sat at the bar began to receive their food prior to me - despite ordering after. While this is not a huge deal, it is a bit annoying and tends to reflect on a disorganized kitchen. A waiter with some food did bring a plate to me at one point...problem was it was not something I ordered...it was for the others at the bar. I finally did get the eggplant plate and was rather disappointed. The eggplant was cooked inconsistently - some pieces were over cooked and another under cooked, none of them seemed particularly hot - or recently cooked for that matter. Not sure if the food was sitting out after being plated or what but it was a let down. The crab cakes turned out better. Freshly cooked and flavorful. Bartender did not check back to see how the food was - and offered me one refill on my drink. I had to call him over at the end of the meal to ask for my check. Overall the service was confused, disorganized and very new to what they were doing.I realize a new restaurant will hit some speed bumps when frost opening. The owner has the same restaurant in several other locations in the area. I would think that he would have used some existing staff when opening to have some experience on the floor. I hope that they will step up their game in terms of service and food quality. Considering they have direct competition for the same food close by, they need to offer something better if they are to attract a consistent clientele. Prices were about average given the local market...though high considering the experience is nothing special. May try it again once they are up and running for a while...but no rush in doing so.
