This was our first time at Thasso’s, and it did not disappoint. Our table of three shared an appetizer of Saganaki, then proceeded on to entrées of moussaka, the stuffed chicken special, and a Gyro’s plate. We also shared two desserts. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were HUGE. We each took enough home for another meal. Our server was delightful. We agreed that this was a serendipitous choice, and that we would return.
