About this restaurants :
Visited during restaurant week, albeit early (~7pm) and on a cold Thursday, however it was very quiet. Atmosphere aside, the food was delicious, but it was served very quickly on hot plates which leads me to believe it’s reheated in an oven. Weirded me out a bit, but the food was delicious so no complaints there. Aside from the potatoes – they were a tad too hard for my liking.
Super quality seafood restaurant! The appetizers were also outstanding with many vegetarian options. If we didn’t want to try the seafood main courses, would’ve been also equally satisfied with ordering a variety of the appetizers. Both the eggplant chips and the moussaka were really good, not too greasy, well flavored, and portions were sizable. So was the Greek salad. By the end of three appetizers we were pretty full! For the main the king shrimp wasn’t as good and in fact a bit “fishy”. The lavraki whole fish was solid and very fresh and flavourful. Service was efficient and attentive. The dining setting was not as intimate like many NYC restaurants as it’s a big venue. Overall recommend for seafood
Visiting NYC from California. My cousin who lives here made reservations for us to meet here. I highly trust his recommendations. Everything was excellent from start to finish. It was also their Anniversary so I’m sure he knows this restaurant is special. A very enjoyable and memorable evening.
Great evening celebrating birthday with friends. Great food, great service and lovely decor. It was a very good experience and we will be back soon.
Thalassa is a great restaurant for special occasions! The service is always fantastic, specifically Antonia at the bar. She made us the best drinks and treated us like family. The rest of the waiter team is also great, they even gave us extra on some of the food we ordered, as well as provided a platter of complementary dessert for my dad’s birthday. The food is also a hit- lamb chops, fresh fish, and the best Greek spreads! Overall- definitely don’t miss this spot! We come each year for at least one occasion and it’s always excellent!
