For as little as a halfhour of pressure washing , this could have been avoided. Too bad because the food , service, and location are excellent.

Rd 2) A large waterfront terrace in a picturesque setting on the water is the perfect place for lunch and dinner. The service was outstanding. The terrace can accommodate up to 200 outside and about 100 inside. No reservations can be taken in the summer months, as the weather can change for terrace dining. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, a wide variety of greek, fish, pasta, burgers. etc. We thoroughly enjoyed spending a few hours taking in the beauty of the surroundings and relaxing after a very delicious meal. Atmosphere is casual and Dimitri's seems to be a very popular choice. I recommend this restaurant highly and will definitely be going back.

Dimitri's is one such case that seems more intent on driving away customers vice filling their restaurant. I drove from Ottawa to meet with some other family members to celebrate a birthday. When I arrived (with 3 other people), we were greeted and advised that there was no space for 12 people in the restaurant. The only viewable seats at that time were on the outdoor patio. We were advised that the wait could be up to one hour, but there was no guarantee that a group of 12 could be accommodated. A shirt time later, I went inside the restaurant to use the washroom and the interior of the restaurant was completely empty. I'm of the opinion that if you are turning away people, won't accept reservations and are not willing to let people sit inside an empty restaurant, you're in the wrong business. I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate which included a Greek salad. The souvlaki was heavily marinated, chewy and overcooked. The Greek salad was decent enough, but there was slight confusion with the starch. Namely, I ordered French fries and potatoes, but only received potatoes. The fries were brought later. Overall, if you're looking for a place to sit by the water, this might be the ideal setting for you. Arrive well in advance (or well beyond) regular supper hours and you will likely find a table. Keep your expectations low and the food might surprise you.

Server said he did, he absolutely said fries cause he always does, lol, never ever would he say rice so we said just bring some fries and all is well!!! AND We got a sorry but you have to pay for a side of fries, not a crazy big deal for us but for some it would be, good luck next time not getting a complaint, not a great way to treat regulars!!!!!

Had the chicken brochette. You get a choice of either rice or potatoes. My husband had the rice which was hard, under cooked. The greek potatoes were dry. Bread is extra. Service was good, pleasant staff.
