Thalassa Restaurant

Lady night we went there for drinks and we ended up eating lots of appetizers. The restaurant is cool and the cocktails as well as the food were ok. I particularly like the bread and the fish tacos. I’m giving three stars for two reasons: 1) as one of the users pointed out, they use way to much salt. One hour after dinner I was very thirsty and I drank all night more than two bottles of water. Thus, my advice to them is SWS (Stop With Salt, Stop With Salt); 2) the food is ok, but overpriced. I understand that in Tribecca the lease must cost them a fortune, but that doesn’t justify their price.

This Is one of the finest in the tri-​state area especially if you’re looking for Greek American cuisine The fish is incredibly fresh and meat is divine… everything is so wonderful. The service is impeccable and the whole place is just beautiful… they also give a validated parking ticket at a nearby garage. This is as close to a perfect restaurant as you can get in New York !

Wowza. This place serves up some GOOOOOD grub! Delicious.
Our waiter, Antonio, was amazing. All of his suggestions were perfect, as was his service.
Cannot wait to return!

Being Greek I usually don’t go to Greek restaurants. They seem to be never as good as home cooked food. My friend from out of town really wanted Greek so I read the reviews, saw pictures and decided to bring her here. Loved it! The staff was friendly, good service and the we’re all Greek. Met the owner who was Greek and very welcoming. The place itself is absolutely beautiful and even had room for events! All the wines were the best from Greece. And the food was amazing. Lamb chops cooked perfectly, great selection of authentic Greek cheeses, and AMAZING OCTOPUS!!! You must get the octopus I get it every time it’s on the menu when I go out and this one was amazing. Will definitely be going back.

Excellent service. Charming and classical Mediterranean restaurant, delicious fish, vegetable and meat dishes, as well as traditional Greek. We have been here many times and the quality of food and service has always been consistently good.

It is never too busy and the lighting/​décor makes this a romantic dinner spot. I have always enjoyed the dishes and the service is attentive but not annoying. I like how it is usually quiet here and the tables are spaced apart. I like their prix fixe menu, very fresh fish.

Absolutely great night dining out. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. Best scallops I’ve ever tasted, melted in your mouth. Fish cooked perfectly. The lamb shank was so moist and flavorful. They served us complementary appetizer, petite desserts and dessert wine. All on the house. Ambience was also very relaxing and chic.

The food is excellent, well prepared and good plating style. For appetizers we had octopus, Greek salad, and fried chip eggplants with tazitki and fried feta. I had the Risotto and, it was quite tasty with the Mussels, scallops, and langostin not to sure but I think it was lobster. Overall every dish was consistent and great. The Service is really good as well.

My wedding at Thalassa was everything I hoped it would be and more. Tasso is wonderful, warm, and meticulous about everything that matters and things you may not even think of. Every detail is of the utmost importance and that kind of attention to detail is what sets him and this venue apart from all the rest. Every day I am grateful for my wedding experience and ongoing relationship I have with this very special place. Thank you Tasso

I had my wedding there in April 2016 and I can’t say enough wonderful things. Tasso was incredibly helpful both before and the night of. The food was outstanding– our guests raved about everything they ate and the ambiance can’t be beat.
In the lead up to the event, we also went to the restaurant multiple times for meetings with Tasso and ate there every time because the food is truly outstanding. Whether a night out or for a wedding, Thalassa is a wonderful place to go!

Amazing girls night! So delicious and a fantastic menu, especially for a LivingSocial deal menu… So yummy and fresh, and the service was incredible! Will post pictures to prove it :)

We went here for the first time tonight and were wowed but the décor (though a part of me went «ugh,» knowing that it would likely be reflected in menu prices; think you don’t get charged for those windsail decorations? Think again. The ‘internal décor premium.’)
This all said, it’s a delicious place, and the P2P ratio (price to portions ratio) is TOTALLY FINE! (Usually terrible at places in this part of town). You get a free cold tomato soup, plus a free mashed potato/​olive oil spread.
Here’s what we had: lamb chop appetizer and 3-​cheese plate, both delicious. Then for entrees I had a stuffed dover sole and filet mignon. They were delicious (at the time, more on this later). Desert we had baklava (sp??) and chocolate molten cake, both superb.
Why a star off? Two reasons. First, it was hard to get the freaking check and to actually pay once we reviewed it. Yeah, I know you’re in a place where it’s leaking money, but come on. Second, we were both super thirsty about an hour or so after dinner. It definitely like a little too much sodium on some of these dishes. There’s currently a lot of debate about the science behind NYC’s new sodium guidelines. But how about a non-​health reason: you most likely don’t need it, and it makes everyone’s mouth dry! SWS (STOP WITH SALT, STOP WITH SALT!)
OUT.

It’s hard to explain and write about a great experience. As soon as you walk in, a friendly smile greets you and then it’s all uphill from there. The place is really nice visually. The people, I will specifically name Antonio or Tony for short. Are so mild mannered and attend to every whim. My glass of wine was hardly empty. For me, they try to make the small things go flawless. The scallops, Mussels, Bronzino and dessert I had were delish. I would return here in a heartbeat.

Came here for lunch recently and was pleasantly surprised. This place is really large, great for large private events. They have a pirx fixe lunch menu that is a steal: $ 25 for appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The food is great. I mean I don’t know much about Greek food so I can’t speak to authneticity but plating was beautiful and food was prepared very well. Butternut ssquash ravioli and spinach pie with filo and feta cheese were really good. My fish entrée (which I can’t remember) was also really good. My friend enjoyed her steak. The baklava dessert blew us away. Beautifully made. Tasted a bit different but delicious nonetheless. It doesn’t get crowded (at least during lunch) so it was great for intimate conversation. I noticed that when the weather is nice they open all the floow to ceiling windows and the place almost becomes a lounge. Will definitely be back.

The place has a beautiful ambience! The food was okay-​ish for the prices.
We ordered a variety of dishes. For starters we ordered a salad which was fresh crisp and healthy!
For main course had fish which was yum!!! We ordered Greek yogurt for dessert, which was hardly a dessert since it wasn’t sweet at all!
Overall, a nice experience

Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere… The food was amazing and the service was top notch. I enjoyed the guitar player and the wonderful art.

restaurant week! excellent. the ambiance was romantic and the food was amazing. we would have licked the plates if we could. we will come back, especially for happy hour. 2 for 1 between 5:30 to 7pm on glasses of wine.
also our server was professional and sweet.
for restaurant week they also had tasty bottles of wine for great prices. 29 $ to 32 $. each course was well worth it. we will return even if it is not restaurant week. it was that good.

Great atmosphere, great service and amazing food!
Visited during restaurant week with a friend and was pleasantly surprised! We got the marinated grilled sardines crostini and the Alaskan salmon crudo to start with, the fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavour! The first course was followed by the branzino (which my friend loved) while I had the red snapper, it was cooked to perfection and the white wine saffron sauce made it even better! The dessert was a winner! Very authentic chocolate bougatsa and Greek yoghurt cake. I loved every bit of it!
Must visit if you like seafood because they definitely source the best!

My husband and two friends enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner here last week. The menu, service, ambiance, and food quality were all top-​notch. We called around to several restaurants a few weeks in advance, and chose Thalassa based on their Tribeca location and the fact they they’d be serving their regular menu for Christmas Eve as opposed to a prix fixe menu.
When we arrived, there was only one other couple in the restaurant, and the place was very quiet. We changed that almost immediately! After all, there were four of us and it was Christmas Eve, and we were excited to get the evening started.
Our server explained that they did indeed have a prix fixe menu (we think it was a last-​minute decision since he spoke the menu and there was nothing to distribute on paper), but also identified they’d be serving the regular menu sans about 6 – 7 items they were not planning to offer. The menu is fairly large, so that was no deterrence.
The server started by bringing us each a little sample of soup, compliments of the chef. As for my meal, I kept things easy and enjoyed the horiatiki salad as well as the cheese platter. Because I couldn’t decide on a cheese (got to pick 3 from a list), I asked for the chef to decide on my 3 cheeses but NO feta. I eat feta all the time at home, and really wanted something different. Whatever he picked for me was so tasty, especially the pieces of grilled white cheese on that plate. I still think of that cheese all these days later!
After the meal, the server brought us all little canapé-​type desserts to share. It was a nice touch and happy ending to a really enjoyable meal and Christmas Eve experience. I’d easily go back to Thalassa for a non-​holiday meal the next time I’m in NYC.

Mayor DeBlasio and Governor Cuomo should have eaten their Bronzino here at Thasala, possible they would have a better relationship. The Bronzino is moist and lightly flavored. This restaurant has a nice décor and decorated beautifully. It feels inviting and cozy. The waitstaff is very attentive making sure your glass was always full and didn’t have dirty dishes in front of you. The dessert variety was delicious, the salad was fresh and the entrée was hit the spot. Definitely a restaurant in TriBeCa to visit.
