Price: Expensive

Booked 28 times today
Thasos is a haven for those who don’t want to speed through moments in time. Surrender to the inviting yet transportive environment and allow your imagination to wander to the allure of the Greek isles. A place where pretense diminishes and guests are invited to unwind from the frenzy of life’s distractions by taking one back to a place of cascading blues and pearly whites: welcome to Thasos. Sample delights inspired by the long-standing culinary traditions of the Greek culture presented with a fresh, modern twist. The menu is reminiscent of the undulating textures in the Mediterranean. Just as ancient fishermen were inspired by the vast oceanic beauty, we were inspired to capture the true essence of the sea. The menu honors Thasos' lush landscape and exterior, by blending the boundaries between nature and artifice.

    Food and cocktails were great! It was a little loud and the music (house/dance music) was an odd choice for a finer dining restaurant but honestly didn’t take away from the a good girls dinner and the food. I would 100% go back for the artichoke chops and the truffle brussel sprouts alone. The sea bass and the branzino were both amazing pieces of fish, and the steaks were cooked perfectly.

    I didn’t expect the menu to be a Christmas menu. I don’t know why, but I didn’t. I expected to be watering off the original menu The ambience in the atmosphere in there was fine. The table seemed a little too close. For Christmas, I found the prices, challenging and high The musical entertainment wasn’t expected for a restaurant setting during Christmas. The music was loud. He pounded the keys on the keyboard. The music was not conducive to an Italian restaurant. I’ve been to the restaurant before. I have always enjoyed the food and I would go back.
