| About: | Always loud and packed, Dmitri's is known as best place to dine on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine in Philadelphia. Lamb, veal, whole fish and octopus can be seen being prepared on the grill. Greek staples like souvlaki and monster gyros are served along with a host of other olive oil-immersed dishes. Seating only 25 people, the noise level can get near deafening. Reservations are not accepted so be prepared to wait in line. You can have a drink in the cafe across the street, and the hostess from Dmitri's will come and find you when your table is ready. |

grilled and good: This place is small and loud, but it serves delicious food. I went with a party of 5 and we ordered lots of dishes and just shared them all. Everything went well together.
Perhaps the best part is that the hostess actually does come and retrieve you from the bar across the street.
They recommended the grilled octopus to us, but we thought that was the weakest of the dishes.
Best of the Best: Amazing food, great value, and I love that you can wait in the Bar across the street and they will come get you. My friends and I will bring 2 bottles of wine and just order the apps. Make sure to get the Mussels and Scampi. The best I've ever had.
A leader in mid-price resturants: Dmitri's arrived on the scene in PHL when there were two types of resturants in town: expensive and cheap. No one filled the middle bill. Dmitri moved right into that niche and provided extreme value. I've eaten here about 100 times and only twice have had anything less than a phenomonal meal. The calmari appetizer is great, as are the sauteed mussels. All the bluefish preparations are great! Bring a bottle of your favorite wine, and expect to wait in line, or put your name in and wander the neighborhood (or the New Wave Bar across the street) for an hour. It's close quarters inside, and somewhat noisy, but the service is exceptional, and the food you can't beat. Enjoy.
