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

Thalassa and Fantis School have the same owners. Fantis Foods is a major player in the Greek import game and if they won't let the employees call in sick then Maybe they are getting rich off the sweat off the backs of others???

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.
