Thalassa Private Dining 2015 -

PRIVATE DINING
The dramatic nautical décor of Thalassa Restaurant is an ideal setting for an array of gatherings.
Whether you are planning a corporate luncheon, cocktail reception, dinner party, birthday, christening or rehearsal dinner, the tri-level
space of this transformed TriBeCa warehouse complex will impress your most discriminating guests.
Sand blasted glass and exposed brick welcome diners for an unparalleled Mediterranean experience. White marble from the island of
Thasos, pottery from Argos, and deep oceanic tones provide a unique Ionian ambience and mimic the incomparable blue of the Aegean.

produce are the foundation of our cuisine.
