Dimitri's Deck And Grill - Ormond Beach

We had a wonderful experience at Dimitri's the other day. It was the perfect way to relax after spending a day at the beach. The view of the ocean on one side and the beautiful sunset on the other was breathtaking. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and very considerate. We shared a half pound of peel-and-eat shrimp, which came with butter and cocktail sauce—delicious! The shrimp were huge and perfectly seasoned. Our drinks were refreshing and just what we needed. I would definitely choose to dine or unwind here again. It was so enjoyable to sit outside and soak in the breeze and tiki bar ambiance.

Service was prompt and efficient. While the food could have been improved and the side portions larger, it was generally decent. The drinks were enjoyable and served in good portions. We tried the wasabi ahi tuna, fish and chips, shrimp basket, and the Greek Village salad with gyro meat (just a heads-up: it doesn’t come with romaine). We also ordered white sangria, red sangria, a watermelon margarita, and one of the buckets. One thing to note is that they charge a credit card surcharge, which would have been helpful to know before dining. However, we didn’t mind, as we were there to enjoy our meal and the view. We would consider returning to this restaurant if we're in the area again.

Dimitri has sold the business, and it is now called Blues and Brews Bistro. The place remains excellent, with fantastic music.

We go to Daytona Beach every year for Biketoberfest sometimes we visit in spring or summer too. We definitely have our favorite spots; but we are always looking to try new places as well. A friend told us about Dimitri 's, just up the road in Ormond Beach, and when we heard best view of the beach live music we were sold! Dimitris is 3 stories of dining drinking. The top floor is open air, (I guess it 's the rooftop, with a large bar in the center mostly picnic tables for seating. The vibe is beachy casual. There is a park across the street so you can see straight into the ocean when it 's light out, and at night you have a great city view! We were approached by a hostess immediately seated at a large picnic table overlooking the north. The menu has just about everything you can think of: salads, sandwiches, seafood, entrees, and even pizza. There is definitely a Greek theme, (gyros, spanikopita, etc. . I had the Greek-seasoned chicken breast with a double side of veggies. The chicken was delish the veggies, mostly squash onions, were good as well. It definitely filled me up! My husband had the shrimp scallops combo. He said the shrimp was good, but the scallops were just so-so. He also paid extra to have a side salad as one of his sides, and it was the tiniest side salad ever. There is a full liquor bar they have an ample beer seltzer selection too. Not only was there live music upstairs, there was a band getting ready to play downstairs when the performer upstairs finished. I loved my meal my husband liked 1/2 of his...but whether you cone here to eat or just drink, Dimitri 's is a cool, one-of-a-kind place to relax and hang out in Daytona/Ormond Beach!

One of my favorite places by the beach. I love the rooftop views. I usually get the original or chicken gyro with feta fries. The gyros are always stuffed and fresh. The feta fries are out of this world- I could just get those! They have everything from beer to fruity tropical drinks. My favorite was the Sailor Rum Punch.
