   My wife and I went for a date night, it was both of our first time dining here. The wait staff was gracious and knowledgeable. Our waiter was generous with recommendations. We ended up doing a full tasting priced at $70/pp. it was well worth it as we got to taste so much of the menu, I believe it was 3 dips and 11 small plates. Everything we tasted was delicious and it was so much food we wished we had second stomachs. This is a place I would fully recommend for fans of Mediterranean fare in DC.

   The service is impeccable. Our table of four included diners with a variety of food sensitivities, and our waiter and the cooks made sure each of us had a brilliant array of delicious dishes to choose from. We all feasted in a joyous atmosphere outdoors, where we felt perfectly safe despite covid. A simply fantastic meal.

   This place was a lovely surprise for us, as we were just looking for a nice place to have dinner and hadn’t heard of it before. The menu looked good, and so we decided to give it a try. From the beginning, the staff was kind and attentive, seating is even though we were very early for our reservation. The dinner itself was OUTSTANDING. The flavors are indescribable, each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Absolute 5 out of 5, I will be back the next time I’m in town.

   We made a special request to be seated inside for our 38th wedding anniversary and were initially offered a table next to the entrance and reception - probably the noisiest and most thoroughfare in the whole restaurant. When we protested we were initially told that the restaurant was very busy, then miraculously taken to a wonderful table and could not have been happier. The staff and our server were fantastic and we had a special evening. The food was really delicious and fresh Mediterranean bread was brought to the table you would want. Our server explained the menu clearly and was pleasantly attentive to see that we had what we wanted. Great evening and dinner, highly recommended.

   Zaytinya continues to deliver an amazing dining experience. Consistent yet unique, the menu is so much fun with variations and twists on your favorite dishes that take them to a new level. There’s a reason this restaurant has been a staple in the DC a market for so long….

   Friendly service and well paced delivery of the small plates were the highlight of our visit. Always nice to return to an original. Before the Penn Quarter was a thing, there was Zaytinya. So good that it survived the pandemic.

    Food is always yummy here and the servers pleasant. They sometimes are a little busy and have to tend to multiple tables so getting their attention for small items in between the orders is a little slow— but nothing at all against them. They are doing their best being busy again.

    Excellent service and outstanding food. Our party had a very leisurely dinner and the waiter, while attentive, never made us feel rushed. He provided some excellent recommendations and was patient while we decided which dishes to choose. All of the choices were outstanding. Highly recommend. My only caveat is a warning that on a Saturday evening, it can be very loud inside so be warned if any in your party have hearing impairments.

    It was my birthday and we had made outdoor seating reservations for later PM but someone called us to say it was going to rain and suggested we come earlier. That was perfect as we had a lovely seat next to the water. The waitress was wonderful (Lu?)! Food was delicious and I had a fantastic cocktail.

    We had a wonderful experience. I love the new outdoor seating that they added and we were very pleasant in the shade. The food was delicious from start to finish. Each dish had a unique and really well crafted flavor. It was a splurge night so it was pricey, but at least we walked away full and very happy.

    Service was really disappointing for the price point and quality of the food. My prosecco bottle was knocked over on the floor by wait staff and my server tried to continue to serve it to us. I had to push to have it replaced. While the food comes out as ready the timing of the dishes meant we had a long period of time in the middle of our meal while we waited on the food we ordered. I can’t recommend this location right now due to the poor service and experience given the price point.

    Took about 30 minutes from the reservation time to be seated. Food was decent though they were out of a lot of things. Waitstaff was nice, though not very attentive and we waited about 20 minutes for our drinks and nearly 45 minutes for our first plates.

    We are on a two week honeymoon I US, and staying in DC for three days. The hotel highly recommended Zaytinya as a must go to. Their recommendation was a hit! Fantastic food, lovely environment, and the service…wow!!! Our waiter Niko were something else. He is an amazing and charming person that took his time to explain and recommend what should try on the menu. This is an restaurant that we definitely would recommend!

    I took a friend’s vegetarian daughter for lunch at Zaytinya and she loved it! Lots of veggie options .. and so delicious! There’s a reason this restaurant is a fan favorite .. they seat you when you arrive, service is great and food is consistently excellent. I will continue to be a loyal patron!

I love the small plates and was able to try a variety of items on the menu. My dessert (rose and chocolate ice cream with brownie and pistachio crumble) was the highlight of the evening!

    The food was wonderful, and our server was great, but the service was too slow and cumbersome. The staff just kept giving us bread while we waited for our food. I contacted the restaurant to celebrate my friend's birthday, but the staff did not acknowledge the special occasion. The octopus and lamb were superb, but it was a disappointing dining experience.

    Food was delicious but service was ok. Could be attributed to an off day. Waited about 10-15 min for our server to take our drink order and we had to flag someone down to get them to come over. Seems like the server was dealing with an issue a nearby table experienced. Server seemed more attentive after. Good sized portions and tasty.

    Was very eager to try Zaytinya after all the good press reviews. It's a mixed experience. Weekday lunch: The outdoor terrace is lovely the biggest plus in IMHO on a nice moderately warm DC summer day, incredible ambiance. We were warmly welcomed by staff, very professional. Server was fine...was catching up with an old friend and then realized after some time that people who'd come in after us were being served. Our server disappeared, found another server. Seems our ticket did not materialize in the kitchen ?! (My friend had guessed this was the issue.) Entrees comped and good thing-over all disappointed, spanakopita esp so. Should be a standout at a Med themed resto. Hummus with lamb- nice. Salad-tiny. Friend enjoyed her salmon wrap sandwich. Mocktails Aegean Sea/Cucumber-mint nice. Willing to try again. Realize that many places are having service issues, so word to the wise. They did the right thing esp since it ended up being a rush into order to get back to work when food finally came.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. While the food was delicious, we especially wanted to compliment our server, Solara. Solara made the meal memorable from cocktail and wine recommendations that were spot on to describing the courses and advising us as the meal progressed. Solara's timing was impeccable. We never felt rushed; there was never a feeling that any of the wait staff were hovering. What a great evening!
