Nice new space downtown, Thalassa is the latest of several very good Grek seafood restaurants in the city. All of them are overpriced, but as long as the fish is super fresh, it's fine to pay up. At Thalassa, that was indeed the case. I went shortly after it opened, expecting teething problems, but the service was efficient, friendly and informative. The food was great, especially the appetizers (calamari and octopus). Recommended entrees were also very good - basically get whatever is the freshest. Wine list is all Greek, and the waiter was not that knowledgeable, so that part was a bit of a shot in the dark, but overall, a good experience.
Pros: fresh ingredients, ambience, good experience
Cons: a bit expensive, lack of wine choices
