Profile

Thalassa brings the popular Greek-fish-market formula to TriBeCa. But this soaring, mosaic-tiled-and-sailcloth-clad duplex has a built-in advantage: It's owned by a family of Greek-food importers with a line on seriously succulent olives and estate-bottled oils who've even built a cheese cave in the basement. In addition to the day's catch displayed over ice and priced per pound, there are dishes like lamb shank and braised rabbit. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The food at Thalassa is basically dressed up Greek food. However, when it comes to taste, its only above average (below average if you factor in price), and it is not exceptionally delicious Greek food. I expected some surprising flavors. We had mostly seafood, plus the lamb shank. The lamb was actually inedible. Way too salty!! And not very fresh either. We would have sent it back if anyone had actually come by to ask how things were. In the end, we just sucked it up, since the rest of the meal was not as bad. Lobster was OK, and the sole was not bad either.

Good experience

ambiance is very good here. nice location in tribeca. very pleasant (and knowledgable) manager. food was good not great. had the scallop app. too much going on with the dish, needs to be simplified. had the skate and it was good. the best thign about this place is that the wine list (which carries some VERY nice names) is half price on mondays thru the end of february. this means that with some wines they end up being cheaper here than in the store. i will be back every monday because there are many wines id like to try on the list (kosta browne, marcassin, ect..)... you should take advantage of this while it lasts. i know i will.
