   It was too noisy and the service was disorganized. The food was very good and the price was reasonable.

   On a beautiful night, 3 of us sat outside and shared another round of this place’s unique and delicious Mediterranean tapas. Unlike past visits, a hiccup in the form of food that was almost put on our table preceded us even ordering food.

   Food and ambience was on point- as always. That’s never the issue. My server however, could have been better. I dropped my silverware and had to remind him twice to bring a new set. Also I was served the wrong lamb dish. It was too late so I didn’t return it. Other than that, my experience was great.

   Food was great but the restaurant was extremely aggressive about telling us the reservation time was for 1.5 hours only. They told us when we sat down and again during our meal and then the waitress told us right after we signed the check that they “needed the table in 2 minutes.” This was a three person table not a large party lingering and we were out the door shortly after the 1.5 hour time. I appreciate wanting to keep tables moving but the delivery could be seriously improved. The waiting area was packed with people and it seems like the restaurant is being overly aggressive on how many reservations they take which degrades the overall experience. I’ve been here many times but probably won’t come back.

   The food was amazing as always. Love the htipiti and tzatiki. The sea scallops were so clean with delicious flavor. The salt foam margaritas are perfect! The servers do an amazing job and are very attentive.

    The food at Zaytinya is always amazingly delicious! The service is excellent and the restaurant is lovely. However, it is definitely loud, so ask for a quiet corner if possible.
