Customer Reviews
Service was slow, it took them 20 mins before someone came to take orders. They even served water twice before anyone coming for the order. Server was very polite and nice person. They messed up drinks orders. Food came in wired order and before drinks. Portion size was very small. Food quality was very good. Food tested very good. The restaurant is very big and very noisy. Overall did not meet my expectations.
Zaytinya is one of several restaurant properties by Jose Andres, a chef who specializes in tapas style dishes. The menu includes Mediterranean cuisine that brings together classic flavors and marinades unique to turkey, greece and lebanon … absolute yummmm! My family celebrated a birthday and dined mezze and family style starting with … Baba Ghannouge, Hummus, Fattoush, Htipiti, Brussels Afelia, Beet Salata, Octopus Santorini, Sea Scallops and Zaytinya fries. We couldnt get enough of everything especially the bread, sea scallops and grilled octopus…for our main course, the kebab platter and dry aged Mediterranean sea bass were deliciously grilled to perfection. The place, service and staff were amazing. Highly recommend 😋
This resturant I have waited to be opened for a long time. The place did not disappoint. Also they have a private room for private dinners which is a huge plus as well. The food was really good and the atmosphere is great nice beautiful interior and a great bar. All of the food was really good. Also their cocktail with yogurt was very very good. Looking forward to coming back.
We went to Zaytinya for dinner. What an amazing vibe and attentive staff. We started with different Mezas like Humus, Falafel, Sprouts, Kofta Kebab and has steak for main meal. They bring out the pita bread fresh. We finished our dinner with Turkish cake and coffee. Food taste itself could be a little more flavorful. Definitely a special experience.
Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Zaytinya. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish reflected authentic Mediterranean flavors with a modern touch. A special thank you to our server, Brikston A, who made the evening even more memorable. Brikston was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations. The service was professional yet warm, making us feel truly welcomed. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Brikston for a fantastic dining experience!
