   Amazing for and service. Nice setting, but people were still in the pool, which killed a bit the vibe. Overall, great experience!

   Located inside of the Ritz hotel, this restaurant has a beautiful outdoor patio, as well as a very nice inside dining room with lots of tables. The staff was very helpful and very quick with service, our waitress was attentive, and timed the plates perfectly throughout the meal! The food was delicious - we were able to try several different plates as everything is meant to be shared tapas-style. Our only complaint was that for the price of some of the plates, especially the meat, 4 small bites of chicken for $15 was a bit ridiculous, it was barely enough to share. The fantastic flavors kept us happy, but expect to spend a lot here as you'll need multiples of plates to feed more than 2 people (or even 1 person).

   Tried the 4 course tasting, was delicious, if I did it again I’d sit inside so I could hear the server explain the dishes. Will try DC location next time.

   Hi Tatika, Thank you for dining with us and for sharing your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the four-course tasting. We’re sorry to hear that the service experience wasn’t quite what it should have been — we completely understand how important it is to be able to hear the details and stories behind each dish. Your comments are truly appreciated and will help us improve. We hope you’ll give us another try in the future — and that your visit to our DC location is just as delicious and memorable! Warmly, Alexis Osorio Assistant General Manager Zaytinya South Beach

   We got the smallest pours of wine, even after bringing it to the attention of management. And highly priced pours at that. Some of the food wasn’t what it was at Zaytinya in NYC.

   Wonderful service and excellent attention to food allergies. My friend could not eat tomatoes and kitchen was very good at accommodating. Food all thoughtfully prepared.

   Wonderful med food overlooking the pool. Kind warm service. Simple yet creative and delicious food. Great spot for all occasions. Full bar / extensive cocktail menu also helps!

   Food was excellent as usual. We also enjoy this restaurant in Washington DC. Our server, Aidan, did a fantastic job and made us feel special. The entire service team did a great job.

    Was looking forward to a great mediterranean dinner here based on finding it on Eater. It was a chilly evening but when we arrived the inside was so cold we asked to sit outside and found it to still be freezing. Our waiter Luis arrived and you think it might have killed him to smile. He was aloof the entire meal. Biggest disappointment were the dolmades out of a can they served. I have been to alot of restaurants and always give them the benefit of the doubt with dolmades but in a place like this I would have never expected jazzed up canned ones. If you know you know about these they all taste same with a little doctoring up to make them seems homemade. I have made these so many times and these were not. Food was ok, I wouldn't go back.
