Hands down, the best upscale Greek restaurant in New York City!!! Like, the Greek version of Babbo or Nobu or Union Square Cafe. Everything on the menu is insanely good, but my go-to faves are the octopus appetizer, diver scallops wrapped in kataifi (shredded pastry dough) with goat-drawn butter, and the galaktoburiko for dessert. Gorgeous space, top-notch staff: the manager, Tasso, is the best!!! Just had my wedding there this past weekend—Tasso and his whole team made everything work flawlessly. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding, better venue, or better food!!
OUTSTANDING !!
I don’t usually post reviews but they were outstanding! I went for restaurant week .. everything was amazing food and service.. hands down one of the best resultant week menu .. the entire menu seemed delicious . So much flavor packed in.. they treated us to Greek desert wine. Even on the way out the door we were greeted with bottles of water .. and Greek cookies .. felt like VIP guest start to finish ! We will be back soon !!
This was an amazing experience. Me and 3 other friends came for restaurant week, and unlike other instances where you may have felt like the selection/food was underwhelming, there were NO empty plates here.
There was a minor mix up because we had a reservation and there was an unexpected wait, but the restaurant gave us a complimentary bottle of wine to compensate while we waited for our table (and the additional wait was not really that long). 2 thumbs up for them going the extra mile.
I cannot express how amazing all of the food was. To top it off, we were offered a free dessert because they knew we were trying to sample all of the restaurant week selections, as well as complimentary dessert wine. We really didn't want to leave.
We will definitely be back here!
I’m not sure why their Facebook review rating is so low. This is a fabulous restaurant with incredibly prompt and attentive service. Our meal was delicious and perfectly cooked, and they even offered a free mini crab cake bite, free port, and little after-meal chocolates. I had to ask them to remake my cosmo, which they did quickly, but that was the only hiccup in an otherwise lovely and wonderful dinner.
The place to go while in Tribeca. The ambiance, the food and the service cannot be beat. Hey guys!, you want to impress a first date?, take here here. She’ll know you a gentleman with style and good taste.
2nd date is a guarantee! 5+++++
The Hellenic Professional Women, Inc. had their Cocktails and Connect event with appetizers and diner for those who chose to dine. All of the appetizers were delicious and the octopus was exceptional! It was divine. I would return for more delicious memories! The staff and bartenders were very warm and professional. They made our evening enjoyable as well throughout our event. Efcharisto!
We had an amazing meal with great service in a gorgeous setting.

THE BEST!! Great service, delicious Mediterranean food, beautiful space, and the epitome of professionalism.
My new wife and I came across Thalassa last year while searching online for a venue for our wedding reception (extended cocktail style). We had been very disappointed by several of NYC's top restaurants due to their lack of attention, communication, and detail. When we contacted Thalassa, we were introduced to their general manager, Tasso. He was the game-changer! It quickly became clear that Tasso was extremely detail-oriented, communicative, and dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction. This effort, exhibited before we had even tasted menu items, put Thalassa at the top of our list.
I scheduled a tasting with Tasso, on a busy Saturday night no less, and he could not have been more accommodating. He toured me around his beautiful restaurant while my fiancee was FaceTime'ing with us. We immediately fell in love with the wine cellar, which is furnished with masterfully hand-crafted Greek wood tables. Then I began wine tasting. The selection is to die for! Afterwards, I began sampling several items from the Private Events Menu. The freshness, quality, and delectability of each bite was almost overwhelming. That locked us in.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Tasso was communicating with us regularly and responding to any questions we had. Truly attentive.
Needless to say, our wedding reception went off exquisitely. Tasso even made arrangements for our live singers to perform using the on-site PA system. We received countless compliments on the food and service provided my Thalassa's staff. The tastiness of the food reflected its beautiful presentation. The bartenders and butlers were always available to us and our guests. Many of our friends and family also commented on the beautiful decor and ambiance. We did not decorate a thing. That's just how Thalassa rolls.
Thalassa, Tasso, and Chef Ralpheal Abrahante were the BEST! I wish I could add more stars to this review.
Fantastic Greek restaurant! The food and wines are outstanding. The restaurant has a very cool decor, great service and lovely gracious hands-on owners!
I’ve had lamb that was just ok, I’ve had lamb that is really good. These guys just raised the bar! Best lamb I’ve had (including my own).
Beautiful atmosphere unparalleled hospitality and the food priceless. I’m glad my friend choose that location for is wedding reception ���
Amazing food! Fresh seafood, creative dishes and delicious, traditional Greek fare too. Loved it.
Great food and even better service! Went for restaurant week but definitely headed back
This place was not only beautiful but food and service were AMAZING! We had an affair to remember! Would definitely recommend!
We had our company Christmas party at Thalassa. Good service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.
The staff was very friendly. Tasso, the manager was very attentive. I will definitely go back!
Great Greek food, location, service, atmosphere, decor, price, what more can you ask for!
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
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!
This restaurant had amazing food. All six of us were impressed with the menu, quality and service. We were all surprised how generous the appetizers were, we were able to share. They were NOT like the usual NYC appetizers that are one bite wonders. The main courses did not disappoint. We were thrilled that we did not walk away still hungry. None of us had room for dessert. Definitely a find.
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.
Exquisite meal
Amazing meal and experience last night at Thalassa
This place gets better and better not only was the food delicious, but the presentation was just beautiful. I was led to say to my friends that it was as good as Gramercy Tavern, which has always been top of my list in New York and an amazing meal for restaurant week on top of it , the decor and ambience was just lovely. Can’t wait to go again.
I had an extraordinary dinner experience at Thalassa Restaurant. Chef Ralpheal's appetizers, especially the crispy zucchini & eggplant chips with tzatziki and SPANAKOPITA, were delectable. The organic Greek salad and Mediterranean tacos with bronzino were equally delightful. The lightly fried calamari was out of this world.
The main course was outstanding with the perfectly cooked RIB EYE STEAK, oven-baked lobster with pasta, and Loup de Mer. The flavors were exceptional.
For dessert, the chocolate soufflé and panna cotta with caramelized pear and berries were heavenly.
The cocktails by Antonia and the impeccable service by Kimberly made the dining experience even more enjoyable. It was a pleasant surprise when Chef Ralpheal himself came to say hello. Thalassa Restaurant truly exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return for another delightful meal.
I love the food, and the servers were exceptional ! Freddy was very politely, and provided an exceptional service to me and my friends! All the staff are very good and very friendly! I love that they asked about the food and the drinks ! We all love so much.
The food omg i don’t have words to say, and the drinks amazing !
The food was amazing. The service was superb. The waiter, hostess, and bartender were so accommodating.
Incredible experience! This place is extra special. Beautifully presented inspired, fresh, delicious food served in a sophisticated ambiance. We came for a quiet double birthday celebration. We started with ordering most of the appetizers to share and each was better than the other. Special mention to the kataifi scallops - the texture and flavor was fabulous. I am not usually a fan of octopus but this octopus was the most tender I have ever had (they have a secret to preparing it that you won’t believe) and I would eat it again and again. The fish was very fresh and prepared perfectly. Cheese board was on point and deserts were all excellent. The service was attentive and friendly. Peter the manager was charming and delightful. I can’t wait to return to Thalassa. 😘
We came here for a graduation dinner with a group of 6 people and were seated right away with our reservation.
The restaurant is really huge and it definitely can fit large parties including weddings, etc. They have several areas that can seat a lot of guests on 2 floors.
The service was nice and the food came out pretty quickly. Decent flavor, but not enough to wow us. The portions were really small for the amount of money that you are paying. Most dishes were $35-45.
3.5 out of 5 stars but I bumped them up because they were super nice and gave us a complimentary dessert platter as congratulations.
