The secret is out! Thalia is a great spot for fine dining before theatre—or for that matter, any day or night of the week. Star chef Patrick Frawley, whose culinary talents were last applauded at Aquagrill, tantalized The Sheet’s taste buds with a specially prepared “tasting” feast of his delectable signature dishes. The extravaganza kicked off with a refreshing chilled grapefruit-tinged lobster salad, followed by ravioli that holds more surprises than a box of Godiva truffles: Each bite of the house-made pasta pockets is stuffed with savory lobster and corn, duck with foie gras, and arugula and artichoke.
For entrees, the mustard seed-crusted Atlantic salmon sits perfectly atop velvety risotto marinated in fresh cucumber juice that complements the tomato, cucumber salad. Baby rack of lamb and herb-roasted squab are enough to reconvert any vegetarian. The cornucopia of desserts will leave you weak-kneed. Our favorites: “Black Mission Fig Tatin” with vanilla ice cream and the decadent “Chocolate Caramel Mousse Torte with Vanilla ‘Brulee’ Filling.” We also celebrated the Broadway debut of “The Hampton Sheet” cocktail, a smash hit—champagne and brandy infused with peaches! A must have!
