When I received my receipt, instead of listing tax, it stated tips. Additionally, where you would normally write in a tip, it said "extra tips." There was no tax listed on the computer-printed version of the receipt (although it was included on the handwritten version). It seems like they may be trying to take advantage of both the government and their customers.

We kicked things off with the delicious Brie and berry salad and the daily vegetable flatbread. Next, we enjoyed the beet and arugula salad, truffle Parmesan fries, and assorted crostini - all of which were excellent. The Parmesan truffle fries were a standout! We both preferred the beet salad over the Brie salad. For dessert, we indulged in the Brie brûlée, which was absolutely amazing and a must-try!

The beet salad and garden salad were refreshing, cold, crispy, and very tasty. The entrees, however, were not as impressive. The crab and shrimp pasta had succulent shrimp but the homemade rigatoni was undercooked. The Gyro Platte had Taziki sauce hidden underneath everything, making it difficult to spread on the pita, meat, and greens. The meat was soft and crumbly, resembling poorly mixed meatloaf. The salmon was great, along with the potatoes and beets, but the greens were chewy and lacked flavor. The blueberry panna cotta was bland, but the mousse cake had a heavenly crust. The coffee was strong, tasty, and had no bitterness. Overall, I would recommend Thea's for fabulous appetizers and an awesome beet salad, but the entrees were disappointing.
