    Sadly, the noise level was so intense that we were unable to hear each other seated immediately adjacent. The food was wonderful, the service excellent, but the noise level was such that we will not be going back in the near future..

    We love Zaytinya and go enough that the servers recognize us. Noise level is our only problem. Food, service could not be better. Guess all those other customers are spreading the word. On Open Table?

    I’ve been here many times before but last night was my last visit to Zaytinya. Much of the food was lukewarm. The service was spotty (we never got hot pita for the olive oil we received).

    A wonderful place to go with a group to experience as many of the tasty dishes as you can. Sadly, I was solo, but treated so well I felt like a queen. But you can only eat so much!! I would have liked to try it all, but the tasting menu option was still too much for one person. Highly recommend the eggplant - deep fired puffs of eggplant heaven with Garni of apricots and candied walnuts and yogurt. YUM!

    Excellent experience! Service was wonderful, everything coming out was perfectly timed and the food was interesting, complex, delicious and every word in between. Lively environment, lots of energy but not distracting. Will recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
