We have dined in countless times at Demitri's! It's a staple here in Livermore. Also Just did our first catering order and they knocked it out of the park. It was very easy, on time, and food was fantastic. read more

Definitely not what this place used to be. The service has gone seriously downhill, and the food wasn't even hot. We visited on a Saturday afternoon when the restaurant was nearly empty, yet staff repeatedly walked past our table without acknowledging us. There was no greeting, no update, and very little attention from anyone. When we finally received service, the staff seemed distracted and uninterested. After a long wait, the food arrived lukewarm, with stale fries and the appearance of an order that had been sitting around or reheated. Watching food sit before being served is extremely frustrating, especially when you are already waiting far longer than expected. To make matters worse, the order was incorrect, and there seemed to be little interest in fixing the problem. We have been coming here for years, which makes the decline even more disappointing. Dining out should be relaxing and enjoyable, not an experience where you feel ignored and leave angry. Sadly, we won't be returning. There are now so many better options in Livermore with better food, warmer service, and staff who actually value their customers. read more

Amazing!!! This was a great experience at home !!! We had door dash- we ate in bed- watching a movie and the food arrived fresh, and such authentic cultural awesomeness! Whoever you are, my first time tasting your wonderfully seasoned cuisine, you have an incredible kitchen and chefs. I'm blown away by the DoorDash experience, delivery good, food beyond expectation! Thank you! Baklava is home made, and ice cream too! EVERYONE, you've got to try this place!! read more

Demitris has a great HH if you like big delicious dishes for a great price and wine, fancy drinks. Besides all the good food and drinks and deals, our server during HH is top notch! She remembers every face, and if you haven't met her you need to! She brings so much light and positive energy to our visits, is always on top of providing the up most service even when she has enough tables for 3 servers. She always ensures you are having a great time, goes out of her way to make sure your experience is 12/10. We honestly continue to come here because of her! and the food is Devine. We feel like family and it makes the experience absolutely incredible! 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 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

We've been going to Demitris for years. Most recently we've been doing take out and it never disappoints. Last night we placed a take out order for three entrees. One we paid extra for the garlic fries. When we got home it was just the regular fries, so called them up later. We got lucky and Dimitri himself offered us several options to make it right! First, it wasn't a big deal but he handled it like it was. Made us feel heard and was very apologetic. He's got a customer for life. Food was great as always! read more

By far my favorite happy hour in downtown combined with Terri who is my favorite server downtown. It's to the point we come here on a weekly basis. Everytime we come here we feel like family and the food is the best Mediterranean in Livermore. Thank you Terri and Demitris for always showing us a good time. read more

Our crazy crew ambled into this super cool Greek tavern and we were not let down! What a great environment to watch the FIFA World Cup - GO USA!! Terri took care of us at the bar and she might still be in therapy for the wild time she put up with us for! Much fun & laughs and Terri was way cool! Amazing drinks & some awesome appetizers! We highly recommend this fun place for a drink & a laugh!! read more

This is the second time we've had a family gathering at Demitri's and they have been incredibly accommodating and generous for our big Greek family party. The food is amazing and the owner and staff couldn't be more helpful, professional and kind. The food is authentic and flavorful and the atmosphere is friendly and festive. The kitchen and wait staff went above and beyond to make our meal memorable. Thank you, Demitris Taverna! read more

If you are looking for some great Mediterranean food in the East Bay. Look no further. Demetria Taverna in Livermore has so many options including many vegetarian dishes. My wife and I shared the falafel pita which. And with fries and I had the vegetable bean soup and a side of rice pilaf. The food was amazing and the service was great and fast. It is a very nice restaurant in a historic building right in first street. I can highly recommend this place and wanted to try more dishes. read more

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 food here tasted fresh & the prices are decent. The service was great as well. Highly recommend! 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

My wife and I had lunch at DT recently and had not been here for about a year. Some of the faces have changed but the food is as good as ever and the service was great. The place has a great vibe and puts you at ease immediately. The menu has changed a bit but the food is why we love this place - tasty and as good as ever. I'm glad they still have the lamb burger which is one of my favorites. Nice people, nice place. We will be back sooner than later. read more

Terry, was not just doing her awesome bartending today! She went out of her way to make my delicious solo lunch very relaxing! She has the perfect personality. I will return and bring my husband! The lamb pops and soup are the best Greek food I have around here I highly recommend coming here to enjoy lunch or dinner. read more

Horrible service! Terry, waitress with the long pigtail rushed my order, gave me a 3oz pour of wine (worst pour ever). I then got my food and explained I was allergic to something in the sauce and asked for a replacement and she told me she would have to upcharge me for it. When I finally got the bill because she was having a long discussion with a bar patron, she charged me for an extra item I didn't order. Just horrible service and I won't go back! There are too many options now with Greek food, so if the service isn't good and I'm paying $14 for a 3oz pour of wine, I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Looking for Greek food? Authentic Greek food? Look no further Demitris has it.. No frills here. Food and service were great. Will be back again when in the area and looking forward in trying other items off their menu. read more

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

Excellent service amount of food and superb flavor top rated a 5. Parking a little crowded. Sufficiant seating

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

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

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

Good food, good staff, good ambiance. They keep us coming back. I love almost everything I've eaten here.

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

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

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

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
