Dametra Cafe Carmel-by-the-Sea Reviews
Excellent food.
Stopped in for a late lunch on the drive home and it was incredible. Shrimp appetizer, lamb kebab, and chicken and gyro platter were fantastic. Hummus, salad, green sauce and taziki were great! Will be back
I would give this place 6 stars if I could.
Got in town around 9 for a late dinner. Unfortunately the whole town closes around 9 for some reason but not here. I got the steak. Chard perfectly. Great size too. My wife got the pasta. Very tasty and everything was hot! We also heard this place ha
Ambiance is top tier.
The live music is so much fun and staff encourages everyone to get up to dance. Never seen that before. As for food, it was not super memorable as the music. Clam chowder was decent, but a bit watery. Lamb shank was okay..seasoning was mostly maske

We came here on a weekend day in the early afternoon and were far from impressed. We ordered the hummus and pita, the spanakopita, the shrimp pasta, the halibut, and two mocktails. Honestly everything was disappointing except for the spanakopita, w

Came on a Sunday night and it was very lively with the live music and the dancing! If you go while there's live music, you will be forced to stand up and dance along so beware. I got the greek style lamb shank (4/5) and it was good! I wanted to
Truly a gem.
My wife and I have been coming to Dametra's for 12+ years. The food, service and Bashar are a 10+. Looking forward to our next visit.
We have traveled the world & now live in Hawaii.
Dametra Cafe is our all time FAVORITE restaurant! The food is AMAZING & the staff are amazing; they treat everyone like family. We have been going there whenever we are in Carmel-By-The-Sea since 2001. The live music is an added plus!! We could
Lunch is Good. More Pleasant If You Can Be Seated near Windows.
We had lunch here with friends in late September, sitting in the corner table by the window, which was very pleasant. I think if you sat elsewhere in the restaurant during lunch you would find it somewhat dreary. The food was good, service was excell

Came for a birthday dinner and although the restaurant was full, we were able to get a table with no wait for dinner. Promptly after getting the menus, there was a staff musical performance and dance party where the whole restaurant was out of their

Great staff, great food, great location. We had a salad each which were massive & really nice. They staff also sang a song which made a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

We sat down to enjoy lunch after seeing someone's plate in the window. The service is fast! Amazingly fast. And when you read the clam chowder is the best, believe them! The calamari came out perfectly crisp and loved their tzatziki and bread. T
Nice atmosphere and food was good but not 40$ a plate good.
Lamb was ordered med/rare and was sent out well done twice. Lebni app was great
Service was garbage.
Came by excited cause of the reviews and to celebrate my wife's bday. They barely checked up on us, but were so attentive to the tables around us. I put our empty cups by the side of the table and 3 waiters came by and didn't bother to fill

Amazing Greek restaurant in Carmel.
We enjoyed everything, including the live music that began at 10pm on a Friday night. The halibut, prawns, seafood stew, and Greek salad were all excellent. The half bottle of 2015 Ponerol was perfect. Mario brought out baklava as a surprise end as w
Sorry short on details, but.
... everything is great, good vibe good prices, won't disappoint. Mabe wait time and smallish place, amazing how many diners they can get inside the place.
Food over the top and delicious.
Servers were fun and sang to guests who had birthdays. Wine top shelf and music was live and fun. They accommodate large parties if you set it up ahead of time. Polenta plate and the beef shanks a must. We will go again and take friends with us.
Beautiful place near ocean avenue.
So good Mediterranean food. Nice music and great atmosphere. Thank you so much!

3.5 stars. Very small restaurant, a bit too cramped, tables very close together. Food is overpriced. We had a nice time with our friends but the food is good, not great for this price point. Staff is very friendly and fun.
Really Enjoyable Evening!
Based on TP reviews booked a table for 4th July weekend - glad we did as quite a few people waiting outside. Staff were very welcoming and the restaurant had a nice buzzy atmosphere. We had hummus/dolmades starters and we both had fish courses whic
Bland food, good service
Demetra is a cozy restaurant on the Main Street in Carmel. The decor is nice and a few tables have a view of the Main Street. We stopped by on a Saturday for early lunch. Service was good, and we nibbled on bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vine
A Must-Visit Gem in Carmel!
We just had our third amazing dinner at Dametra Cafe, and it never disappoints! The food is absolutely delicious—from the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, every bite was full of flavor and made with care. The atmosphere is what truly se
Wish I Lived Closer!
This is the place to go if you want fresh, homemade food! Our meals included hummus, a gyros plate and an incredible pasta and the service was fantastic. The restaurant is casual and includes a bar. The restaurant has live music and the wait staff
Nothing Girlish about this Vibrant Cafe
We took a 17 mile drive from Monterey to end up at Carmel in the late evening. Checked the restaurants to find Damentra on the top. It was a long wait to a seat . But Oh boy the time spent did not disappoint. Having had a busy day with drive from S
Great food-Wonderful Ambience
We stopped in for lunch today and we certainly weren’t disappointed! The decor is very inviting and our server, Isaiah, was very friendly and accommodating. My husband had the Dolmas and I had the salmon burger, which came with Greek salad. My husb
So much fun!
Go for the food (delicious) but what really makes this place special is when the staff starts making music and encouraging diners to get up and dance. It's amazing how this creates a sense of community even though it lasts only a few minutes and

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Dametra Cafe Carmel-by-the-Sea. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Dametra Cafe Carmel-by-the-Sea at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Dametra Cafe Carmel-by-the-Sea page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Dametra Cafe Carmel-by-the-Sea to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Dametra Cafe Carmel-by-the-Sea!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
