What makes it special: A Greek-inspired supper club that blends mezze, cocktails, and nightlife.
Who should go: Groups seeking dinner that turns into a party.
When to visit: Prime weekend nights after 8pm for full energy.
What to order: Charred octopus, grilled lamb chops, pistachio baklava.
Insider tip: Book an earlier seating if you want conversation before the music climbs.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is typically available on Melrose (around $12–$15). Street parking exists but becomes scarce after 6pm due to nightlife traffic.
Dress code: Dressy–casual leaning stylish; guests often wear elevated weekend outfits suitable for photos and nightlife.
Noise level: Loud after 8:30pm—conversation is possible early evening but becomes difficult once DJs start.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation, especially after 8pm when the party vibe begins.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable, as Theía primarily operates as a dinner and nightlife venue.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several mezze, dips, salads, and vegetable plates work well for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited—dips and salads can be modified, but mains are sparse for strict vegans.
Gluten-free options: Yes—many mezze and grilled proteins are naturally gluten-free; staff can advise modifications.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only early in the evening. Before 8pm it can feel lively but manageable, though the later nightlife energy may overshadow intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possibly on weekdays or early evenings, but on weekends walk-ins face long waits—reservations are strongly recommended.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal—this is a nightlife-oriented venue with loud music and a party atmosphere, best suited to adults.
Best For
Better for: High-energy group dinners, birthday nights, bottle service vibes, and Mediterranean plates paired with nightlife.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, a romantic date spot, or a traditional Greek taverna experience without the party element.
