Editorial Review for Thalassa – by Allison Austin

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 uncertainty: Seafood is the house specialty, and it's reliably fresh. Start off with feta-stuffed grilled calamari, tender, subtly sweet veal dolmas or rare scallops wrapped in shredded phyllo dough and served with a tangy caper sauce. If they've got it, order the lethrini, a delicate white fish, simply perfect when grilled and drizzled with lemon and olive oil. The hearty braised lamb shank is irresistible as well. Don't miss almond baklava for dessert.

Insider Tips

The Extras

The dining room downstairs (with its own bar) can be reserved for private dinner parties (up to 130 people) and cocktail parties (up to 180).

What to Drink

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.

I went there last wednesday with couple of friends and we were all disapointed. İt took the waiter 20 minutes to get our orders although it wasn't too busy the food was OK but overpriced.
