Thassos never ceases to amaze! How refreshing to find a restaurant that understands the importance of good service. Did I mention the food? I tried the meatballs with red sauce for the first time (I make a point to try something new every time I go to Thassos) and my goodness what flavor! I always recommend this place to my friends and family, and I plan to be a returning customer for a long time!

The food was amazing! We had a seat at the bar and ordered some great drinks. After that we got the scallops for an appetizer and some entrees with a side. All were so good. We ended with three desserts which was the right choice because they all were so unique and delicious. Staff were very helpful and attentive throughout the meal. Cannot wait to go back.
