Dimitri's on the Water

I hate to put them on blast like this but about a year ago I was with a friend and we wanted to grab a glass of wine and sit on the water. We were told that we could not sit out there unless we ordered food… we had never been here before so I said ok give us a couple menus we may order something. This was a problem and management got involved to finally get us outside to our table by the water. Once the waiter came by we asked what his fav app or meal was - he seriously said he didn’t have one. So on that note we declined eating at this establishment. The waiter actually berated us for not ordering food, had he gave us a suggestion we may have ordered. This happened a year ago and I’m just now deciding to post about it because honestly that is ridiculous. How dare they. I still have never been back and never will be. I suggest you stay away unless you want rude service and a horrible experience

Maps shows open but both their restaurants are closed due to flooding.

Try the Mousaka and fried cheese. Delicious. The server was knowledgable and recommended dishes that were all good. When checking out the baked goods next door, one of these employees were terribly rude. Because of that I won't go back.

Been coming to Tarpon on and off for the last 20 years and visited this place quite a few times. (Dimitri himself was always a bipolar type of character. Hope he is off the meds now. Didn't approve of him repremanding his employees in front of customers. Not professional. Definitely would NOT want to work for that guy.)

Food was typically good... Saganaki right on point. Lamb was awesome. Never really had a good bartender since around 2010, unfortunately. I do love that you could pull your boat right up and have drinks or dinner. This place has always had the potential. The food is really good, service and management not so much.

Nice and polite stuff. But food is junk. I got some sand in my shrimps. Calamari were not cooked properly ...they were like rubber. Management of course started to deny it ..saying it could be some pieces from grill in my shrimps. Also place is dirty. We decided to leave after we notice huge palmetto bug(giant cockroach) right in a front of our faces on the glass window between indoor and outdoor area.
Lets say within 30 mins in this place I got enough experience to never come here again

So I had the shrimp and lemon potatoes. I don’t like the lemon potatoes -they are too lemony for me, but to be expected by the name.

In the other hand the shrimp was good and the Galactoboreko dessert was AMAZINg! I’ll be back just for that ??

Greta service and water views of course!

We came in without a reservation and they got us seated in 5-10 minutes flat. The food was very small portions but the greek salad was amazing totally recommend. Also the hummus and pita is very nice. The staff is very nice and served us fast. The place is very well decorated. The fish in the water are super cool and kids have fun.

Had amazing experience several times here. Keep coming back! Souvlaki and Greek salad are always great, tried Thalassina 1st time, omg, so yummy! Sitting by the water while enjoying a great meal makes it feel like a mini getaway. The staff is always friendly. If you are looking for a place with great food and beautiful sitting, this is it!

Zero if I could. Hostess was very rude. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Nice place on the water. Drinks were terrible, service terrible, gyro was decent, girlfriends eggplant dish tasted like watered-down pickle with too much garlic. Plus it was warm inside building. Mama's across the street has much better food, but no water view

I have to say the food was delicious and plentiful and well prepared and the view is spectacular but be careful because they automatically tack on a 20% gratuity for parties of five or more and we were not. We were only a party of four. A separate person joined us later and they were on a separate check... so they counted us as a party of five and tacked on a gratuity....but the waiter didn't even refill our water glasses. I was a little unimpressed by that. If you're going to give yourself a tip, then you should at least try to earn it

When we visit Tarpon Springs, Dimitri's is our new go to place to eat. We have visited 2 times now and love the outdoor seating watching the boats on the river come and go. The food is authentic, amazing and plentiful.

After conducting some business in Tarpon Springs I stopped into Dimitri’s for a quick Greek Salad. I was extremely pleased with the atmosphere, the service and the food at this establishment. I looked forward to returning to Dimitri’s to try some new dishes. Highly recommended.

I got the grouper sandwich as did my sister which was really good and an espresso martini which was also delicious! My mom got a Caesar wrap which was filled with a lot of lettuce. Cute interior atmosphere, we sat inside though due to the heat. There s outdoor seating by the water which was nice.
