  • "Thasos is a very friendly place with outstanding food!"
    Dined on 3/3/2014
  • "I always looked forward to the moussaka at Thasos. It was as close to the real thing outside Greece. This time it's all changed - they now serve it as a big slab rather than the earthenware bowls, the potato was very thickly sliced, the meat very under seasoned and the top layer far too thick. It's become a Greek sheperd's pie rather than a moussaka. The service wasn't great - an order of French fries arrived three quarters the way through the main course (and they weren't very good either). The noise level was ridiculous - why do restaurants have to put on music when the noise level is already high. We couldn't wait to get out. Far too expensive for the quality."

  • "Appetizers were good, but main dishes only fair.Lamb chops were dry,fish was tasteless and overcooked.Service was polite but not efficient.Appetizers did not arrive at the same time,and waiter forgot to order one.Wrong main courses were brought out and had to be returned.Restaurant ambience very good.Restaurant has great potential,but needs work."

  • "Very nice restaurant. Love the atmosphere and food. The best musaka in town!!!"
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Disappointed on the table location outside where there is no atmosphere like the inside of the restaurant. The waiter did not know the menu well. Specifically asked for Grilled Calamari he brought Fried Calamari.... Drinks were not consistent."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Food was good, but would choose better places to spend this kind of money. Mainly would not return because while the restaurant is nice looking it is unbelievably loud and noisy! Many places are busy and can't help being noisy, but this was really excessive and took away from dining pleasure."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Every dish we had at Thassos was fresh and delicious. Our friend had a large pork chop that was excellent. My partner had moussaka that was also excellent and the size of a house. I had several small plates. Lamb meatballs and the eggplant casserole. We shared the large salad to start. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. We hadn't been here for several months, but from our experience, the food was so much better than our last visits. Will definitely go again."
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "The food was nicely prepared and tasted great (except for the calamari). The noise level was terrible. Could not hear each other talk. And our waiter was pleasant but very very very pushy about ordering food. He kept saying try this, try that. And started writing on his pad as though we had agreed to take it. He also wanted to take our drink, appetizer and food order all at the same time. We had to insist several times that he just get us our drinks and appetizers and then we'd look at the menu and order. Don't think I'd go there again--but guess I should never say never"
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "Off the path from the beach but what a yummy restaurant. The cauliflower is amazing... Whatever is in the sauce, I wish I could replicate. The mushrooms were Delish also. I loved to olive spread they served with the bread! Would definitely go back."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "Previous experiences have been outstanding. Now the kitchen cant turn out the standards that made the restaurant such a draw. More than that, the kitchen can't even turn out entrees - after 3 hours we left with apologies from the host, a $300 tab, and only 1/2 of our entrees ever being delivered. Outrageous. Stay away."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "I had heard good things about Thasos that I decided to give it a try. I was very disappointed. We got there early to have a drink at the bar, but the maitre d' insisted on seating as he warned that he might not have a table for us at our reservation time. The service from the start was terrible. Our waiter was pleasant enough, but just wasn't with it. We had to ask for bread, our drink order took forever, and I had to ask for my glass of wine that I ordered with dinner twice. I was practically finished with my dinner by the time the wine came. The food was good, not great, but good. I might give it another try, but honestly I'm not sure it will be any better. It's a shame because the venue is stunning."

  • "Valentine's day dinner there....Bocelli concert afterwards!!! A memorable evening. Our waitress (Amanda B) was ever-vigilant, highly responsive, and made sure that the delicious dishes were brought out in time for us to finish dinner and dessert, and still make it to the concert on time. She is very pleasant and perceptive, knows the menu well, and is exquisitely sensitive to her guests' needs! The food was wonderful and very fresh. We will return!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We dined at Thasos this past Saturday evening (our 3 time here). Our reservation was for 7:15. The restaurant was not very busy at this hour, but the service was extremely slow. It took forever for our waiter to greet us and take a drink order. He did not speak English very well, and had a difficult time taking our dinner order. The food took a long time to arrive as well. Disappointed in the stuffed cabbage and Brussel sprouts. Very bland."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The restaurant is beautiful and vibrant. The staff is friendly. The food is delicious and the portions are bigger than you would expect at an upscale restaurant. My fiancée started with the watermelon salad and I had the tomato and cucumber salad with feta. We swapped in the middle and loved them both. My fiancée wants us to start making the watermelon salad at home now. I had the beef tenderloin, which was perfect. My fiancée had the chicken and he was impressed as well. Creme Brûlée and baclava finished off our night. Since it was Valentine's Day, the owner was delivering a pink rose to each female diner, a very sweet touch I thought. We look forward to our next visit!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We eat here often, sometimes for special occasions and sometimes just because. We have never made a reservation before. But since it was Valentines day, we thought it would be smart to reserve a table. We specified we wanted a side booth vs a center table, we ended up in a center table. Not exactly what we were looking for a romantic dinner but the service and food were great as usual so no big deal about the table. This is a really fun place to dine, even if you are just getting the appetizers and drinks. We bring all our out of town guests here and they are always impressed."

  • "second time, it was very very good it s look and it s very good sea bass was very tasty, wine very good"
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "All the food was outstanding until we got to dessert. We had a creme brûlée and the waitress came over to tell us that the wait is long because the chef is making it "fresh"……….When we received it, the "hard shell" didn't crack but was soggy and the custard underneath was hot and loose. It hadn't set at all. We complained about it and the waitress agreed and she should have taken it off the bill. They didn't. That would have been a perfect experience. Instead it left us with a bit of a bad taste. The overhead lights with the changing colors are cool but apparently this night someone was abruptly hanging them instead of letting them fade in and out. A little strange."
    Dined on 2/10/2014
  • "I made dinner reservations through open table for 6 of us for my husbands birthday. We were seated right away when we arrived and where given menus. The noise level was so bad we could not carry on a conversation across the table. Our waiter arrived with water for the table and asked us if we would like to order appetizers. He never took a drink order, we had to ask him if we could order drinks. The food was excellant, but they really need to work on the noise level. We will not be back again for dinner!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Love this place. Besides the fact that the lamb chops, scallops, sea bass and everything else are always perfect, it's a beautiful place to hang out, and the staff is incredible. Fast becoming my favorite place in Fort Lauderdale!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "This place seemed very modern and neat from the outside. We decided to try their food . The menu was very poor. Pretty good wine list not Greek though. The portions were very small and not impressive . The owner walked around plenty and made promises he didn't deliver. He promised ice cream to my 3 year old and never gave it. The has 1 server in the entire outside area and he was stressed and apologized sooo much about everything and explained he was alone and almost cried, so we tipped him out of feeling sorry not because of good service. We are not going back."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "Gorgeous ambience. Great food and caring staff. Consistently good."
    Dined on 2/5/2014
  • "The stuffed cabbage small plate was excellent.. The grilled octopus was ok but not great. Overall, we would have really liked our meal if it weren't for the rushed service. We ordered small plates thinking we would share the first and then anticipate the next one. Everything came at the same time and filled the table to capacity. With the noise level and the rapid-fire service it made for a frenetic evening. Probably won't return."

  • "Thasos has found its niche next to its popular neighbor. Food was creative and well presented. Loved the fennel salad, and fish was great. Wonderful meal and great atmosphere."
    Dined on 1/30/2014
  • "All was fine until the main course came: lamb chops(which were the most expensive entrée). They arrived overcooked and tough. The manager was walking by and I caught his attention and he kept going. He then stopped and talked at three other tables at great length before returning to us. It was easily more than five minutes. When he arrived, he didn't apologize or act. He took the chops and we waited another ten minutes for them to reappear. They were dropped on the table and no one appeared. They were either raw or overcooked again. They were inedible again, and he just kept ignoring us. Finally, after several complaints to our waiter, they removed from the bill. Poor management and attitude. We would never return"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "It has taken us a while to try this restaurant but we will definitely return. Service was quick but not rushed and the food was very tasty and nicely presented. The bar looks interesting and I would like to go back just for drinks and small ages at the bar. The decor is white and sleek - very nice!"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Shame most of the food was good to very good….we left with a bad taste in our mouths. Salads were great…fennel salad was perfectly dressed…we started with zucchini chips….my roast chicken (specialty of the house) was dried out…it took more than 90 minutes for our entrees to come out of the kitchen…by then what was likely perfectly juicy lemon chicken was dried out. Brussel sprouts wonderful…Took us over 2 1/2 hours for our meal from start to finish…not our problem restaurant was full…they should have expected that on a saturday evening and arranged for the kitchen to operate efficiently. To make matters worse, our server had a very negative attitude…I know the slow kitchen was not her fault, but it shouldn't be our problem either…."

  • "What a busy place. Restaurant extremely busy, yet the food was outstanding. It is a very modern place, with nothing to cushion the noise level. If you can over look the noise, the food is why you go. I had the whole fish, while my friend had the lemon chicken. She is of Greek descent, and she said the true test of authentic food is the lemon chicken. She was in love, saying, just the way her grandmother made it. If you like Greek food, give this restaurant a try. We will be back again."

  • "We live downtown Chicago...the quality of the food was very good and no one excels the freshness of Thasos! The setting is very bright, sound level energetic! We were originally seated next to the street; pretty distracting and the exhaust was too much. We moved inside and had a nice experience early in the evening...as the sound level increased. Staff were great and food was excellent! Their directions should say you have to enter through the gas station heading southbound."

  • "We had the Shrimp Saganaki appetizer Yum Chilean Sea Bass, and the Colorado Lamb Chops, and a side of Roasted Cauliflower. It was my wife's birthday we shared each other's meal to taste we loved them both lots of flavor and cooked to perfection. The side of roasted cauliflower was very good as well. We will definitely be back for more we highly recommend this place you will love it."
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "Food was very good, service was attentive. Restaurant is not cheap but not overpriced. Portions can be large. Had a number of appetizers, Agvolemeno Soup, Fried Zuchini chips, Calamari, all delicious. Main courses - Sirloin Steak, very large portion surrounded by tasty mashed potatoes in a wine reduction sauce; Moussaka (huge portion). Dessert had Galaktabourico, very good version. Restaurant decor is very modern with some hints of Greece. Located just east of the Intracoastal on Oakland Park Blvd. Valet parking is free."
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "This is my second visit and I was a little disappointed. The first visit, everything was great. Both times we have had an assortment of appetizers. This visit, the calamari was overcooked so a bit rubbery, the grilled cheese was only lukewarm, and a couple of the other dishes were less than spectacular. The grilled octopus was outstanding, however. I hope you get back to everything being spectacular because I love the concept."

  • "I saw this pretty restaurant while driving by and thought I'd try it. It is a wonderful menu with many Greek specialities. I had a Greek Salad with fresh feta, grilled Mediterranean Sea Bass with most excellent - tzatziki. Everything was fresh and delicious. The owner was very nice and made sure he spoke to everyone and asked if there were any suggestions or comments. Highly recommend this place and I will be back! I've already recommended to friends."
