Zaytinya in DC offers an "amazing overall experience" with superb Mediterranean cuisine and attentive service. The "chef's tasting menu" is highly recommended, providing a variety of "absolutely delicious" small plates. The ambiance is lively, though it can be "a bit too loud."

    Excellent service, tasty food true to description & timing of bring out each set of foods was spaced appropriately. Had early a reservation at 4:30 which proved to add to our positive experience. As it got closer to 6pm the noise level increased & we were happy we were leaving by 6:30pm. Fantastic overall! Will return

    It was unfortunately disappointing! The lights were flickering on and off above us which was distracting and kind of head ache inducing. Someone needs to change lightbulbs! The food quality tasted low, which was a change and not positive surprise. Dishes that should have been hot came out luke warm. Fries were soggy, meat was dry.

    Location was great, the restaurant is fun and lively, but still easy to hear. Food is excellent, every dish we had was unique. It’s tapas style, so you get to try a lot of amazing. Interesting food.

    Food was excellent. We ordered lamb, scallops, salmon, brussel sprouts and cauliflower - all were delicious. Prices were reasonable. Outside seating was crowded. Walking through tables in the outdoor dining area was a tight squeeze. The waiter for our table of two had difficulty managing his tables. We sat down at around the same time our neighboring table of two were seated. We sat without any service for 15min, while our neighbors already had water and wine service. However, with all that said, I absolutely would return.
