Came around 530 for evening show at Bankhead theatre. Tried here 2 prior times and either all the tables were reserved or the wait was crazy. Ordered seafood penne pasta, Giro Platter, Mediterranean Salad, fried calamari, and Baklava Sundae. The seafood pasta was the only "just ok" item we ordered. Had mainly calamari and some feta sprinkled on top. Nothing wrong nor overwhelming right about it. Basically if unsure just ask the server for suggestions... sure they have to say everything is good but they usually have favorites. read more

It is sad to say that my experience with Demitris has change over the last few years. What was once a consistent experience has turned to missed items, less welcoming, and not what the restaurant used to be. I have tried Demitris multiple times in the last year and without fail, one or more of the items we ordered does not come, both when in restaurant and delivery. The final nail was when we had a reservation recently that was confirmed by email and also by phone with them, and when we arrived we were first told that the reservation did not exist and after we showed our reservation confirmation, they told us that they were full so they wouldn't accept the reservation. When we have gotten our food there has also been other issues such as portion sizes very small or not prepared correctly. read more

Came here for mother's day and really enjoyed the food. I tried the gyro platter and highly recommend it. it was very busy, so when the owner Demitri came to check on us, I let him know the wait was a little long. He apologized and offered a discount and free dessert completely unprompted, even though I insisted it wasn't necessary. I can appreciate that the owner is making sure that his restaurant offers both great food, and great service. read more

Demitris Taverna - Greek Near Me - Livermore, California

I really wanted to love this place and I've given it 3 tries. I'm Greek so when I first moved here, I immediately had to try it. First off - all 3x they haven't had Mythos so I wish they'd take that beer off the menu. The first time, I got the mousaka, which was very bland and a little mushy. The next time I got the gyro, which I did like and the fries were pretty good. The last time I got a burger which was perfectly fine. I just wasn't impressed with anything I'd gotten. The service was equally mediocre. On the second time, I did ask if they'd go check if they actually had Mythos and they confidently said they did... they did not. read more

The drinks and food menu looks very good. There is pasta with gyro meat options which is very rare, sandwiches, burgers, kababs so really good selection of food.. The bread they serve before the food is truly awesome. We ordered chicken Souvlaki, Falafel Pita, Mediterranean pasta and it was good.OK. I wish they had lamb only gyro or chicken only but that's ok. read more

Food was average at best. The Pork souvlaki lacked seasoning, the h feta garlic fries were reheated, old, and saturated with oil, not tasty at all. The entire meal was disappointing. It was my first time there. Demitri's Fries (regular fries were better) Maybe they do better at dinner time. read more

This place is so good. The servers are trained well and very pleasant and professional. They make sure you have everything you need. Great fresh food and cozy vibes. Their chocolate cake is really good. read more

Great food. Their prices are decent. Friendly staff. Get the calamari steak. I highly recommend it.

We used Demitri's Taverna for catering at our son's first birthday party this past weekend and we were blown away. We ordered the Agora Pita Bar with Gyro and Chicken, and every single thing tasted fresh, warm, and perfectly seasoned. Our family kept commenting on how delicious it was and how easy it was to build their own plates. The catering portions were generous and made hosting stress free. If anyone in Livermore is looking for Mediterranean catering for birthdays, holidays, or family gatherings, I can't recommend Demitri's enough. read more

I had a wonderful meal yesterday at Dimitri's. The chicken pesto with mushroom pasta dish had the right combination of sauce chicken pesto and cheese. Nick, our waiter was happy to answer our questions, gave us suggestions and made sure our food was exactly what we ordered. He even helped take our pictures so we had captured the fun moments. We will be returning soon for more delicious food. read more

Can you post this review on Google and Yelp for Demitri's Taverna for the food we had on Saturday? I was so impressed with the catering from Demitri's Taverna for my grandson's first birthday celebration. The Agora Pita Bar package with chicken and gyro was wonderful. Everything arrived fresh, beautifully prepared, and easy for guests to serve themselves. I've been to many catered events over the years and this was truly one of the best. If you need catering in the Tri-Valley, I would absolutely recommend Demitri's for any family event or special occasion. read more

I have visited here only a few times in the past two years, but I love the service and the food so I'm visiting again soon.

I was in the area and I was in the mood to try a new cuisine. I'm not too familiar with Greek food so I said why not. Wow I must say, Greek food is pretty tasty. Lots of feta cheese, olives, olive oil, spinach. Basically everything that is good for you lol I had order a peach drink and it was supeeeeer food. It had the right amount of alcohol and sweetness ratio. I played it safe and order a pita meal and it was great. The pita had a nice fluffy texture, the sauces added were rich and the chicken was flavorful. The ambiance reminded me of the big fat Greek wedding movie. Lots of blues, wood, and greenery. Good experience :) read more

Had it not been for the X-mas pop up next door, I would not have even ventured to this place. I'm so happy the holidays brought me here. This place was a hit! First off, pastas? I venture to a lot of Mediterranean and this is the first time I've seen pasta on the menu with Greek food. I tried the gyro pasta and was fully satisfied. The portion was enormous. Everything tasted as you would expect coming from the other dishes my friends ordered. Between you and me, I'm shocked at these prices. I hope they don't read this, cause they really could be charging more for these dishes based on what I get for the same stuff in San Jose. read more

A completely wonderful find, thanks to Yelp. Atmosphere offers pleasant Greek decor and music at just the right volume to allow conversation. Lots of outdoor seating and a good amount inside too. Server and kitchen/bar attendant were pleasant and attentive. It was mid-afternoon so we stuck with appetizers and side salad, and they were all excellent and filling. There were six large meat- and rice-filled dolmathes with gentle seasoning and a delicious creamy sauce. The Greek salad was vegetables (no lettuce) with a just-right dressing and a huge slab of feta. And the feta and olives plate with four spreads, pita, and lots of olives was generous and all delicious. One side salad and two appetizers fed three of us very well. One very small negative was that I encountered a few small bits of bone in the dolmathes, but it's certainly not worth deducting any portion of a star from this excellent restaurant. I wish they'd make it a chain. read more

Demitri's Tavern has a rustic, casual vibe and a Greek-inspired menu of appetizers, salads, pitas, and more! We were started with a basket of grilled sourdough bread and skordalia (potato garlic spread), and we also ordered the plate of House Spreads and Olives, which came with spicy feta spread, hummus, tzatziki, Mediterranean salsa (chopped tomatoes and herbs), olives, cucumbers, and slices of chewy grilled pita bread. The Falafel appetizer was a plate of eight baked chickpea balls, served with a creamy "Demitri's sauce" for dipping. The Greek Village Salad was a classic combination of tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, and olives tossed in a Greek house dressing and topped with a slice of feta cheese; and the Skewered Prawns Salad was a refreshing mixture of lettuce, Mediterranean salsa, feta cheese crumbles, and juicy grilled prawns on top. Finally, the Gyro Platter came with a generous serving of ground chuck and lamb gyro shaved fresh from a rotating spit, along with sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, green beans), rice pilaf, tzatziki, and pita. Overall, the food here was tasty for what it was, but much of the menu and flavors were Americanized and not as authentic as they could've been. Though the food was rather average, the friendly and hospitable service was a real highlight of our visit! read more

Went to Demitri's Taverna for the first time yesterday. First thing that hit us, was the smell coming from the restaurant when we were down the street. Smells just like the restaurants in Greece! That was a good sign. Inside, the ambience also felt like we had just walked into a neighborhood restaurant in Greece. Charming decor, including a couple of real bouzoukis hanging from the walls and some pictures of past rembetiko greats! Felt just like home to me! The staff was very welcoming and the menu offered a varied selection of Greek favorites along with a few non-Greek options. Our server, Miranda, took incredible care of us. She was warm, friendly and very attentive, making sure that we were happy with our food and never in need of anything. The food did not disappoint either. We ordered the moussaka and the gyro platter. All well prepared and flavorful, and very generous portions. I wish Demetri's Taverna was located closer to my home on the peninsula, as I'm sure I would be a regular customer. But I guess I will have to make an occasional trip across the bay to get my "Greek Fix" again soon! read more

The best. Truly one of the best restaurants in Livermore. Serving size is large, food is incredible, service is always great and the place is clean.

4.5 for food 3 for service Overall the food was delicious. Bifteki was very flavorful and exactly what I expected . Chicken Souvlaki Pita is very tasty. The service was just ok. They were quick to sit us and take our order but when we got our food the server never came back around to check on us. I had to get up and ask for a refill of water after I waited about 15min for the server to come back. It was a young staff so I didn't really get angry about it. They have lots to learn about working in a restaurant. Other than that the place is very clean and cozy. Definitely will be coming back when I'm in Livermore. read more

Super fun evening at Demitri's Taverna! We reserved dinner and happily enjoyed happy hour from 3 to 6 PM. We each enjoyed a mule cocktail, a small Greek salad, and shared a Gyro pita. Delicious! We honestly could have stopped there, but were intrigued by the chicken Florentine sandwich, so we shared it with some fries. Our server, Jessica, was friendly and helpful as we asked many questions about the menu. The price for food and beverages was a deal. We look forward to returning to explore more on the menu. read more

5 stars all around. Welcoming staff, beautiful decor, and amazing food. Mom and I shared the village salad, saganaki, spanakotiropita, and pork souvlaki pita. Everything was extremely fresh and tasted homemade. The skordalia that comes in the bread basket is addicting. I swear we entered the doors and were sitting at a taverna in Greece. The pork souvlaki was juicy and had great flavor. The tzatziki was garlicky and delicious. Even the fries tasted like I was teleported to Greece. The saganaki was top tier. I could have eaten one for myself. The spanakotiropita was fresh and the buttery phyllo with the fresh herbs and spinach and cheese were great. The salad was fresh and the arugula was a nice touch. Everything was very high quality, and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. We ate our leftovers for dinner and everything was still great heated up. Also, the gentlemen working were very welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try new things!! read more

The Greek salad was a great refreshing start to the meal. I loved the light bright dressing, and the slab of feta cheese; perfect with the salad , of tomatoes, olives, onions, peppers, and arugula. However, I wish they chopped the peppers and onion smaller and make each bite more manageable. The Chicken Reganati was very well seasoned, had a nice char-grill flavor, and pretty juicy. The accompanying herb rice was a great match and the side of grilled vegetables were a perfect side. I got a bite of the Yia Yia's Veggie Pie and it was simply delicious. The eggplant, vegetables, bechamel, with the (probably griddle charred) potatoes were the perfect match of flavors, textures, and comfort of starch that binds it all together; like a lasagna, but for the pasta. The service was very friendly and I would definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Livermore. read more
