Business Description from the Web

Thalassa means 'sea' in Greek. Its decor transfers you to the sea along the Greek islands. Appetizers feature Sardeles—the signature dish—where the sardines are imported especially from Portugal. Main courses include Lobster Youvetsi (cold water lobster braised with brandy), Lamb Shanks over stuffed baby eggplant and many other interesting items. You are bound to find the best collection of... more

What to Drink

brought to you by

The wine list is full of interesting Greek finds and most bottles are priced between $35 and $55. Tsantali syrah ($40) is medium-bodied and a bit dry--it goes well with both seafood and meat.

Editorial Reviews from the web

A sharp, modern approach to Greek seafood in Tribeca.

The Scene White sails pulled taut overhead, honey-colored wood plank floors, a marble bar--it feels like dining aboard a beautifully restored sailboat. The lighting is flattering, the crowd somewhat serious and service generally attentive and well-meaning. The Food If the decor isn't hint enough, the fresh fish packed in ice just to the left of the bar will erase any... more

Ulysses and Calypso dined on shellfish saganaki and snapper spatslota. Self-proclaimed gods and goddesses ate their weight in fish by the pound. Expensive lighting tinted long white sailcloth ceilings. Ouzo flowed as only ouzo could, Calypso got loaded and Ulysses got lucky. Class dismissed.

"Thalassa" is Greek for the sea, and the Restaurant Thalassa lives up to it's name. The dining room lighting and elegant sails suggest that you are sailing the Greek Islands. Flowing curtains over original exposed brick remind you of the sandy shores of warm beaches. Urns from Tripoli once used to store olives and olive oil ages ago now overflow with fresh flowers as they sit atop hand-made... more

I had heard such great such great things about Thalassa, that I was so looking forward to my visit. We went a couple weeks ago before attending a show and we had the best time. We were seated right away and our waiter was very attentive and considerate to the fact that we had to get out of there on time. I ordered the scallop which was amazing, ordered a whole fish Lavraki (sea bass i think?!)... more

I was disappointed with my experience at Thalassa only because I had heard such good things. The restaurant itself is very nice, good ambiance and the food was delicious. The problem is the waitstaff - they weren't that busy when we arrived and I felt ignored the whole night. They definately have staffing issues - too bad, since their food is really good.
