Again, Zaytinya was the peak experience we have come to look forward to. We were greeted warmly and shown to a lively table outdoors. We ordered too many small plates but we finished everything because we couldn’t stop. Hommus, labneh, grape leaves, fatoush, beet salad, tabouleh … all exceptional. Lovely cocktails completed the experience. The staff is superlative. Always attending to our every need. Loved every minute.

First meal out I can remember in a very long time where nothing seemed rushed despite it being a 7:30 reservation. Ample time given and courteous service throughout. Our host Didier went to great lengths in making sure the order was what we wanted, indulged us and offered additional options and recommendations. It surpassed the already high expectations I was hoping for. We will be back!
