We have eaten at Zaytinya in Washington DC. This location is just one (tiny) notch below for quality of the food, but it is hard to duplicate the quality of a legendary spot like the DC location! However our experience was greatly marred by our waiter who was pushy and a bit woodenly unpleasant. I must say that every other serving person aside from him was truly lovely! But his presence cast a pall on our evening. Also, the noise level of the music played was jarring and the music itself did not seem to complement either the setting or the atmosphere.

Great restaurant, delicious food, beautiful interior design. I was excited to see flavors from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines executed so beautifully. Everything was nicely seasoned. Cudos to the culinary and the restaurant teams. Will go back definitely to try more dishes.

Was anxious to dine at Zaytinya but was sadly underwhelmed by the food. We ate all vegetarian items each had the same garnish of pomegranate seeds and herbs with little flavor. Our menu consisted of babaganoush(good and flavorful) be sure to order the vegan bread or crudites to go with it; hallouomi cheese (overcooked); spanakopita (acceptable but little flavor); brussel sprouts (overcooked, underdressed; dressing on the plate was tasteless); beet salad(no taste.) I was expecting flavors of zatar, mediterranean spices, lemon, creamy yogurt or labneh, salt, none of which came through in the mezzes. We did enjoy the house margarita with a little zatar flavor and the pear and apple sorbet. Thinking maybe we will try again, hoping this was an off night for the chef, and next time order a fish dish for an entree. I might add the restaurant was at capacity apparently a winner for the palate of the other diners!
