Too bad the perfect meal was my appetizer, my entree and her dessert. ”

The first 2 courses were very good, but the chocolate sampler was too rich for me and the dessert wine far too sweet. ”
- “
Good vodka martini, and lovely 2001 ice wine by the glass with dessert, all for $63. ”

Amazing restaurant, great food (try the Thalia Burger), perfect service and on top of all that, the owner Avi is one of the best guys you'll ever meet. ”
- “
had to go here for a lunch meeting and the food was good, but the service was pretty bad. ”
- “
The menu might not be earthy-shatteringly innovative -- no foams or infusions or miso anything -- but really a good value for well-prepared food in the theatre district. ”
- “
The appetizers were good, my husband had the cream of mushroom soup and I have the mozz & tomato salad. ”

Consistently solid (very good food, good service) ”

The portions are not huge, but they do include an alcoholic beverage or fresh juice, so that made up for it. ”
- “
This is a good place if you need a nice place, with mediocre food, and at the last minute! ”
- “
for great food ”
- “
have so many favorite dishes here: the duxelle ravioli with mushrooms, the crabcake sandwich, the braised short rib. ”
- “
The out-of-this world banana/raspberry (or request your favorite fruit) pancakes, the fantastic french toast that melts in your mouth, and the divine asparagus frittata are among the best items on the tantalizing $11.95 brunch menu. ”
- “
The hamburgers were once really good, the fries once delicious with little bits of crisp tasty herbs covering them. ”
- “
We finally found a nice place with good food for brunch - so many others disappoint! ”
- “
Great food. ”
- “
This is one of the few places I know of that has been around for a while (at least for the 6 years I've been working in the area), and that hasn't gone downhill, or lost their enthusiasm to deliver good food and service at a reasonable price. ”
- “
Better yet, get a great sandwich at Carve on 47th St and 8th Ave. ”

The food was so so (small portions) and the service was horrible. ”

We could not have been more delighted with the wonderful food, exceptional service and lovely setting. ”

Average food in a beautiful spot ”

Once the food was received one meal was cold and had to be sent back to be reheated as seemed that one meal had been left to the side while the other was being prepared. ”
- “
the crowd was a little strange but other than that, the service, ambience, food was pretty good. ”
- “
Ordered some ala carte oysters and the wild mushroom polenta fricasee and both were fantastic, ESPECIALLY the polenta (the stock used in the reduction was fantastic) the bathrooms are sufficient cute and orchids are in bloom everywhere. ”

Interesting dishes included a fine crab meat and asparagus omelette, vanilla french toast and great banana and strawberry pancakes. ”

So I can't suggest ordering them -- unless you want to spend big bucks on fries. ”
- “
ordered a "fresh squeezed" grapefruit juice, when it came it tasted fermented. ”
- “
Horrible service but good food ”
- “
The Salmon dish is unique and my husband had the Lamb Shank which was so good the meat fell from the bone. ”

It was more like a flap of egg with cold crab meat, asparagus and tomato inside. ”

The food was incredible- now I know what all my colleagues were talking about. ”

So, come here for the great atmosphere, for a nice place to lounge and have good drinks, but don't come here for excellent food. ”

The seafood is amazing and their brunch is excellent. ”
- “
The food is great though. ”
- “

If you want a great burger at half the price go to The Corner Bistro in Greenwich Village. ”

Thalia Restaurant is a really nice restaurant, the food is delicious, although a bit expensive. ”

It is hard to find good food where you find good theatre, but Thalia on 8th and 50th is the perfect combination. ”

The food was quite tasty, the wine selection sufficient, and the service attentive without becoming overbearing. ”

Whenever we dined there, we had a great meal. ”
