i have had the octopus be bad and exceptional at dmitri’s, so i had to vote the fitler square option since i’ve never been to that one. now if we were talking about the rest of their food, i would whole-heartedly say that it is over-rated. their mains are typically awful with bland sides and the only good appetizer they’ve ever had were baked dilled oysters.

I like Dimitri’s a lot, but the two dishes people rave about there, the octopus and the spicy chicken thing, I find terribly unexciting.

The octopus is way to oily. It’s much, much better at Estia, where it is incredibly tender and has a great grilled flavor.

haven’t been in a couple years, but i have always loved their oily octopi, what can i say. at the fitler sqaure location i liked the fried smelts too but theres only so many smelts a man can eat. i find the story about serving squid and insisting its octopus hard to believe. they serve how many plates of octopus a day and they get their cephalopods confused.

love dimitris the oct. oil is great to soak up with crusty bread nice an simple and in greece its manly meat all the seas r over fished
