Thalia

Usually I don't give all 5's for a restaurant. Thalia's deserves it, though. We were walking around the threatre district trying to find a good place to eat (and stay warm before the 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee show at 2pm.) Happened upon this place and found they offered a Saturday Brunch, complete with drink (mimosa, bloody mary, wine, or soda). The mini-muffins were delicious, as was the large-portion quiche. The fruit in the fruit platter (with granola and yogurt) was fresh and delicious. Our servers were very nice, helpful, and our food was brought out in a timely manner. Dress is nice casual or dressy. White tablecloths and napkins. Prices are very reasonable. Would definitely good again soon.

Thalia is great for late night dining or snacking. We have shared the burger and fries once a month for 4 months straight. The burger is cooked to perfection and adorned with secret toppings that are out of this world! The french fries are crisp and served with crisp fried herbs. While I bet the food is always great, it's a real treat when you are hungry and it's after midnight!

On arriving at Thalia for what was to be a standard meal it turned out to be quiet the romantic evening. This is due to the ambiance set by the lack of customers, Location and the excellent selection of oysters. The only thing that let it down was the service. This may have been an isolated incodent, but on ordering a steak cooked "blue" the waitress replied with "Blue what's that?" whilst sporting a contorted face of confusion. But when the food did arrive, I'd give it 9/10, my compliments to the chef, a truly exellent meal.

Not knowing which places are good for brunch, just happened to walk by here. Great choice to celebrate dad's 71st b/day. The brunch menu was very nice & the prices very reasonable for the location & atmosphere. The bathrooms were funky kool. But have to say I agree w/ prior reviewer, the svc was poor. The manager was apologetic & gave us free dessert but I'd rather pay & get great food & great svc. The freebie didn't compensate for the lack of attention. But food is excellent, my kids loved the mini-blueberry muffins, you get a free drink & the desserts were decadent. I would come back for other occassions since the others we tried were just ok but pricey.

My wife and I and another couple had brunch at Thalia's recently, and were extraordinarily pleased with the food and value. I can't recommend enough the lobster benedict. Plus, brunch comes with a bloody mary, screwdriver, or glass of wine (now THAT'S value!) All of my party were impressed with the food, but the service was only mediocre. Things started off well with our friendly and cheery waitress, who suggested the lobster benedict, for which we were all later grateful. However, once the drinks and bread (muffins) came out, she disappeared. Completely vanished. I would have sworn a waitress Bermuda Triangle had formed over the restaurant. We were trying to pay and leave for nearly 20 minutes. What gives, Thalia's? Finally, the resaurant itself is eye candy, with glowing but subdued orange lights, dark wood tables mahogany leather sofas, and light-colored walls. Even in the midst of a heavily trafficked brunch, we felt cozy and comfortable (making the interminable wait for the server to deliver and close out our bill much less excruciating). Despite the vanishing server, I highly recommend giving the brunch a shot. It is an excellent bargain in an expensive city.

Excellent service exellent brunch. Right before our 3pm Wicked show we had only an hour to eat. They were so accomadating. They rushed our eggs benedict but didn't leave an egg unturned. (no punn intented) I will go back many times more and to think it is right up the street from where I work. This is why I love NY --hidden treasures.

Went here on a Thursday night in the holiday season without reservations. The placed was packed and the host told us it might be a long wait, however he had some possible no-shows they were waiting just a little more for. In about 10-15 mins we were seated and were promptly waited on. The crab cake appatizer was delicious but at $15 a bit expensive. All of our dishes were superbly presented and tasted fantastic. The filet was properly prepared and while the most expensive entree on the menu at $29, had other items (spinach, mushrooms and potatoes) to make it a complete meal and I felt satisfied.
