   Came the 2nd time in a week. Only complaint was the music was too loud and they turned it down at my request. Each time I’m there, my party DINES, instead of just eating. The food and the service are superb. Wait staff is amazing. My guest called me afterward and couldn’t thank me enough! I look forward to dining at Zaytinya often and soon.

   Support staff was excellent and attentive. Sadly it seems our waiter never put in the second half of our food order. I can’t be sure where the breakdown was bc he never told us what happened. We waited a solid half hour with no food or drinks after our initial round of tasty small plates. Flagged down a different waiter to order a second round of drinks. After 40 minutes we lost interest in the four remaining dishes that never showed up, but asked for dessert since it was a friend’s birthday. One “meh” dessert was comped, but no apology for the screw up or that we left hungry. This was a very different experience than at the original Zaytinya in DC. Still gave 20% tip but boy it was not worth it. Valet was efficient, but $18.

   Food was fantastic. Tried a bit of everything on the menu. The food, the ambiance, the lighting - everything was excellent.

   It was an OK experience. The plates were very very small portions with high prices. after spending more than $100 per person, we had to go to a different place after to get food

    Service was erratic. Well into the main courses, the alcoholic beverages ordered at the very beginning had still not come. We cancelled them. It took a long time to get some ice water. We had to physically get up and find our server to he could take payment of the bill. There were very few people eating in the restaurant while we were there. It must be said that the food was served promptly and servers were pleasant. I have eaten at Zaytinya four times now and am not sure how soon I’ll go back.
