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.
Tonight we had a wonderful meal here, the food was fresh, well presented & extremely tasty. We felt welcomed by the owner & we could tell he is passionate about serving great quality food cooked from scratch. We absolutely recommend dining here, one of the best meals we have had.
Authentic food, generous portions, amazing staff & owners, homey atmosphere. My wife is Greek & we've eaten there with her family several times. They've always loved it & so have I! I originally went there to show support after hearing they gave free meals to the needy during covid lockdowns. Now I stop by whenever I'm in the area, or having a big family gathering. Oh, & if you drink, it's a BYOB! (I've done take out as well, food quality was the same.)
We have been a few times & we have always enjoyed our meal. We love that it's BYOW & the appetizer platter is generous & good quality! Only downside is that parking is pretty difficult to find so factor that in especially if you have a reservation.
We visited Terrasse Thanos for supper last week & loved it. The food, the decor, the ambience, the service... everything was perfect. We will definitely visit again soon. An amazing restaurant.
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.

Cuisine copieuse, les aliments sont frais goûteux, notamment la fêta avec les olives. La tarte au fromage délicieux ! Bien accueilli par la serveuse avec beaucoup d'humour (la lune qui sourit !). Par contre trop de féculents dans l'assiette (riz + patates).
I went there this evening, Sunday, & everything was perfect until the owner showed up. Very unprofessionnal of him to yell at the amazing employees in front of everyone. Will not be going back anytime soon. As soon as he stepped the mood went sour. Even if the food & service was good I left with a bad feeling, he ruined my evening.

J'adore ce resto, nous y allons depuis des années, la terrasse est vraiment sympathique . Mais qu'est-il arrivé à vos prix? 2 bonnes augmentations en quelques mois. Ça devient trop cher malheureusement 🫤
i have been to Thanos several times , never ordered the octopus & never will again . I cannot understand how a greek chef can make such an aweful dish , it was cold ,it was chewy , it was drowned in some balsamic reduction , it basically had no taste & was overpowered with capers & onions.Portion was ridiculously small & super overpriced ,it was chopped up instead of it being served whole like in greece with tentacles seared & plated properly . I am a home chef & i can make this dish 10 times better at a fraction of the cost . 2 ,do not order veg pita dish either .just not good at all .That being said ,service is A1 & atmosphere is A1 . Stick to the pikilia & other meat dishes (exept souflaki sticks,dry !) .This is an honest review ,i call it the way i taste it .
Celebrated my dad's 75th birthday here. What an amazing experience from planning to celebrating. Kathy was wonderful & made sure we had everything! It felt like home, with delicious food & relaxed atmosphere! Thank you!
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.
This place is a sweet little gem in the plateau, with great Greek food, kind staff & a beautiful terrasse! The food is absolutely delicious every time, & there is nothing better than a restaurant that is byob!
