"This charming Greek restaurant offers authentic flavours and an incredibly attentive staff. However, when we tried to book a table, we were informed that they don’t take reservations and only accept walk-ins. So, we decided to return when we were hungry. Unfortunately, upon our second visit, they informed us that we needed to make a reservation and the wait time was around 45 minutes. This was a major disappointment. Despite the wait, the restaurant’s lively atmosphere, complete with live music and dancing, made it worth the wait. Once seated, our service was prompt. After receiving our dishes, we discovered that they contained beef. Since I don’t eat beef, I expressed my concern, and the staff promptly replaced the beef with extra chicken without any complaint. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone in Carmel. The ambiance, the food, and everything else is simply delightful."

"All around excellent experience and will be back again. The food- excellent. Just wanted to get that out first. Big platters of fresh delicious food. We got the combo platter and I was stuffed at the end of it. Highly recommend. The service was top notch as well. The servers were very nice and accommodating and really made sure you you were taken care of. The atmosphere of the place was so fun and exciting! They have live music which was actually pretty good, but it also kept the vibes chill and light. Overall it was a great time. Oh and the dessert was so good. This restaurant is a must visit."

"Love the Greek foods here. We had the roasted vegetable salad, dametra royal combination, Greek combination platter, Greek salad, and the grilled jumbo prawns. We'll definitely return for more. The entertainment was a bonus. Lots of fun."

"This place is so authentic and mouthwatering delicious! After viewing the beautiful ocean in Carmel we stopped for a bite to eat and I was so pleasantly surprised at the flavors and options available here. My mother in law ordered the lasagna- probably my favorite thing from here- the tomato sauce was a little sweet and seasoned to perfection. My husband had the paella which burst with flavor from the mussels, shrimp, and oysters, sausage and chicken and I had the halibut with a great crust on it. The bread and oil was delicious and our service was outstanding! They had a love singer/musician whose performance was top tier! Thoroughly enjoyed this experience!"

"From our entire NorCal trip, Dametra Cafe has been the most fun place we discovered. We were walking around town after dinner when we heard music and saw people dancing through the restaurant window. We ended up going in and grabbing seats at the bar. Amir was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the hardest time choosing a mocktail because I truly wanted to try them all. Even though we had already eaten dinner, we still had to enjoy a little taste of their Mediterranean food. Once the music started, everyone got up to dance. The singer has such a beautiful voice. The vibe in this place is unmatched. If we make this trip again, we are absolutely coming here for dinner."
