    Our waiter was beyond solicitous. However the food was extremely disappointing. We’ve been to THAVMA many many times and this was a real disappointment. THAVMA chips were way over cooked. Fish was also overcooked and tasted very fishy. We ordered salad with goat cheese instead of feta and it came with feta. Pasta dishes were so overdone they were inedible- at least five minutes too long on cooking the pasta. We asked for a salad instead and they brought one without dressing. It’s as if the chef hadn’t taken a single cooking class. Very disappointing. Waiter was very apologetic and took off the pasta dishes from the bill. He kept bringing us baskets of pita. Would think twice about going back.

    This turned to be a quiet place to meet for a "discussion meeting." We both enjoyed the food, and the service was outstanding.

    Thavma is a neighborhood gem and one of our favorite restaurants! The food is excellent, service is friendly and efficient and we especially love eating outside during the summer.

    The food is always great. The service is excellent. Chris D is one of the best waiters not just at Thavma, but any restaurant that I have been to in a long time.
