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.

The restaurant was busy enough 3/4 of the tables were taken.It was a beautiful day on the water.I might be fussy but I hate biting into fat especially in 2 pieces of my chicken. Yuk kind of ruined my meal. However the time before that visit I had the same meal and it was much better.Only pet pev I have with this place is that the owner stands on the terrace micro managing his staff and he does not come off as approach able. He comes off as mean and that is why I didnt complain about my meal.Smile life is good.
