Terrasse Thanos draws broad praise for authentic Greek cooking, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel at home. Dishes such as calamari, octopus, mezze, and the meat and seafood platters are described as fresh, flavorful, and well balanced, with the Greek potatoes and tzatziki earning frequent compliments. The BYOW option is a popular feature that many reviewers say enhances the dining experience. Service is consistently described as friendly, attentive, and accommodating, with thoughtful touches during celebrations and occasions. A few notes mention occasional slower service and the pork chop on the grill plate being a touch overcooked. Desserts like homemade cheesecake and galaktoboureko are highlighted as standout finishes. Overall Terrasse Thanos is regarded as a standout choice for a relaxed, lively Greek meal, great for gatherings, with open air dining and a genuinely welcoming vibe.
Loved my experience here. The waiters & I exchanged jokes, the food was top notch (octopus & calamari cooked to perfection. Tsatziki sauce had zing!! BYOB!
Terrasse Thanos is a really enjoyable spot with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We tried the calamari, the starter platter (a generous mix of bites to share), the platter of meats, & their homemade cheesecake. Everything was delicious. The calamari was fresh & well-seasoned, the starter platter was full of variety & perfect for sharing, the meat platter was generous & full of flavour, & the cheesecake tasted truly homemade & was the perfect way to end the meal.
The Greek potatoes that came with the meat platter might just be the best I have had, they were perfectly cooked, seasoned with olive oil, lemon, garlic & oregano.
It is also bring-your-own wine (BYOW), which makes the experience even better. The staff & owners are amazing, very welcoming, & they make you feel right at home.
A great place to relax, enjoy good food, & have a comfortable evening. Definitely worth visiting.
Wonderful experience! A warm & authentic family-run restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent - I especially recommend the homemade cheesecake from the owners & the calamari.
This restaurant is a gem!! BYOW, Friendly & cozy. We enjoyed the terrace! Appetizers were amazing we took the calamari & octopus were delicious! All the platters are generous with rice salad & patatoes. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!

Had the most incredible authentic Greek food at Thanos!! The spanakopita is homemade & delicious. The calamari was amazing. For the main we split chicken sticks, pork pita, & a Thanos pizza. Everything was top notch !! The Tziziki is made with yogurt & tastes like the ones in Greece!! Finally, the homemade desserts were to die for. Both the cheesecake & Galaktoboureko are a must try!! Thanks to Angelo & the entire team for an amazing night
Best kept secret of secrets!!! What a find … the calamari dish was perfect; taramosalata was … delish …. Meats were well spiced & true to Greek grill … let us not leave out those Greek lemony potatoes! See you soon beautiful parea of Thanos!!!! Thank you for the outstanding service
Been waiting to try this place since its been near our house for years. I don't recommend the octopus it was very dry & hard to chew, soaked in red vinegar such as the rest of the sides in my plate, rice, vinegar, potatoes, vinegar. I didn't eat it & felt bad about saying something because the server kind of ignored us. Calamari was good.
Scrolling Google looking for a resto & found Terrasse Thanos. Went on a Friday warm evening, was greeted by a smiling waitress, & chose to sit outside on a fully occupied terrasse. Didn't take long to get a table & asked what the authentic dishes were on the menu. I was recommended to try the seafood grilled platter, which includes crispy calamari, grilled octopus, shrimp & salmon accompanied by rice, potatoes, & salad. All was delicious. For dessert we chose homemade cheesecake which was fantastic. So glad we found this little gem. The staff is very attentive & made us feel welcome. We had the great pleasure of being served by Harad, she was attentive, charming & professional. Let me say to the owner he's lucky to have her. Will be back for certain & very soon. Let me mention, we've been to other Greek restaurants, & so far none are comparable to Thanos.

I highly recommend Thanos restaurant. Home cooked meals made with Meraki ♥️ The calamari one of many favourites was made with perfection, a tender crispiness & so tasty you could not get enough of. We ordered the meat platter for two. Very generous portions the lamb chops melted in your mouth. The porc chops were grilled to perfection. The Greek loukaniko was good & the chicken was deliciously seasoned & so tender. Potato lovers the Greek potatoes are a must try equally the same for the rice simple but delicious. Another note worth mentioning the salad was served separately. No hot cold mix. The food & service quality was truly exceptional, a gem worth taking a drive for & you will definitely not rave disappointed. I can't wait to come back. Cheers! Maria V.
The bad: Even though the restaurant was empty inside (only busy on the terrace), the service was really not great. We had to ask to get our water refill, & it took a good 10min until they came back with the water. The server was almost never present, so most of the meal our glasses of water were empty. It also took a really long time to receive the main dish & for a table of 2 we didn't receive it at the same time. So one of us was almost done with their plate before the other received it. (It would have been cold if we had to wait for both plates to arrive) I understand it can happen for a big group of people, but a table of 2 & not sending the dishes at the same time is really not great. The pork souvlaki was good, but the chicken souvlaki inside the pita was really dry. Also, I don't suggest paying the extra 7 $ to get the greek salad instead of the house salad. The only difference between both was 3 olives, 3 little pieces of cheese, & one pepper. I would say it's probably more worth it if you choose the Ceasars or horiatiki salad instead of the greek. The good: the fried calamari was a bit chewy but overall good. the rice & potatoes were good, but the salad that is included with the main dishes comes as a starter before everything else. So if you like to eat your salad with the rest of your main dish, you can't. The great: the terrace is really pretty & calm, so the atmosphere is great during summer.

We celebrated a very big birthday with family & friends we were around 18. Service was on time & meals are delicious.. pizza, lamb chops, calamari, souvlaki, pikilia platter are must haves!... thanks to chef & owner-operator Angelo & manager Denis, they made sure it all came off without a hitch! We stayed late with no one rushing us, it was relaxed, total enjoyment🎉 Thank you making my special day perfect!
Nice place with great service. Food was delicious but wasn't a fan of the Dolmades. Have the Loukaniko & the calamari. You are better off taking an Uber or cab as the parking is not easy.
This BYOW place is a gem! It is small place but very friendly & cozy! We were big group & everything was delicious. Appetizers were amazing, calamari was so good. All the platters are big & served with rice & potatoes plus you get a big salad plate. Baklava was one of the best I have tried! I will be definitely returning!
If you want to go to Greece without spending thousand of dollars visit this place the food is AMAZING the Calamari , the octopus & & the Gyros. The cheesecake is phenomenal made by the owners mother . Service is impeccable & great atmosphere
The salmon was really overcooked. The waiter never asked me if it was good or anything.. not after i received it or when i clearly did not finish it.
The terrace is nice & I think this is a good restaurant option if one is looking for big portion & a BYOB but stick to the chicken or calamari classics.
