A Greek Seafood Steakhouse Tarpon Springs

The most beautiful backdrops of all, Dimitri’s on the Water Greek Seafood Steakhouse Tarpon Springs is serving a New Greek Experience!” Nestled centrally on the World Famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Dimitri’s offers guests waterfront dining alongside the Anclote River near the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico. Award-winning Executive Chef Demetrios Salivaras was inspired and encouraged by his father, Andreas, and late mother, Rene Salivaras. Demetrios Salivaras purchased his Greek Seafood Steakhouse Tarpon Springs restaurant in 2009, and it is considered today, one of the premier dining establishments in Tarpon Springs, Florida.

“Proper preparation prevents poor performance,” Demetrios believes, and guests concur that the cuisine and the service are of the highest quality in the area. The standard has been set high, thanks to his superior education at the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY and his internships in Hawaii and wine-country California, as well as the experience Demetrios embraced growing up in his father’s footsteps, another successful Greek restaurateur. If you don’t have family, you essentially have nothing. Family is what drives demetrios, his sisters, and his staff to exceed expectations every day! The menu is the culmination of classic Greek Seafood Steakhouse Tarpon Springs favorites, coupled with All-American selections to satisfy practically any palate. The entire repertoire is comprised of homemade renditions of Yia Yia’s (aka Grandma’s), family favorites!

The weekend’s freshest plan is sitting on ice. 🐟

Fresh hogfish has arrived at Dimitri’s on the Water. Delicate, flavorful, and ready to become the kind of seafood plate you remember long after the waterfront view fades.

If fresh fish is what you came for, this is your sign to make the afternoon count.

Fresh hogfish available while supplies last.

Save this for your next seafood run to the Sponge Docks.

This is how the weekend starts at Dimitri’s. 🐙

Chargrilled octopus, finished with olive oil, lemon, herbs, and the kind of smoky sear that makes ordering seafood an easy decision.

And for this weekend, we also have fresh hogfish as a special—while supplies last.

Come hungry. The waterfront is waiting.

Some dishes do not need an introduction—but this one deserves to be named.

Soutzoukakia: Greek-style meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce and served with rice. Bold, seasoned, and made for lingering over with a glass of Greek w**e.

A classic Greek plate, served the Dimitri’s way on the Sponge Docks.

Save this for your next waterfront lunch or dinner.

The plate gets the photo. The team makes the experience.

For National Food Service Workers Day, we are putting the people behind Dimitri's front and center. From the first welcome to the final cleared plate, this team carries the Salivaras family standard through every lunch, every dinner, and every busy Sponge Docks weekend.

Leave a note for the hospitality people who make your favorite places feel like your favorite places. Then save this as a reminder to thank the people taking care of your table. 📌

A Sunday table works best when everyone has something to share. 🌿

Dolmades bring classic Greek comfort to the middle of the table. The afternoon games will be on near the bar, but the waterfront meal is still the main event.

Save this for your next Sunday lunch in Tarpon Springs. 📌

There is a difference between going out for dinner and making Friday count.

Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp, topped with feta, are built for the second category. Smoky bacon, rich crab stuffing, and a plate that earns the waterfront table around it. This is the choice for when “anywhere is fine” is no longer an acceptable answer.

Send this to the person who is still deciding where to go. Save it for the next Friday dinner you plan to do properly. 📌

National Linguine Day should not involve a red-sauce shortcut.

Mediterranean Seafood Pasta brings linguine together with a full seafood moment and the kind of flavor that asks you to slow down for more than a few bites. This is how Dimitri's does a weekday dinner: Mediterranean, waterfront, and not interested in taking the easy route.

Tag the pasta person in your life, then save this for your next Tarpon Springs dinner plan. 📌

A meal at Dimitri’s is never just a meal. 🔥

It starts at the door, continues with a waterfront table and an espresso martini, then reaches its peak when the saganaki hits the flame. Opa! 🧀

Add the warm welcome, the dramatic cheese pull, and the kind of Greek hospitality that makes you want to stay a little longer. This is the Dimitri’s experience on the Sponge Docks — whether you’re joining us for lunch, an early afternoon meal, or easing into the evening.

Bring the people who make every meal better. We’ll handle the rest.
