    We have loved Zaytinia since it opened. The food and the service have never declined in quality and the prices are still reasonable. And Jose Andros is a hero.

    I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

    This is the best Greek restaurant to which we’ve ever been! We were in Greece in the fall, and none of our dining experiences there were better than Zaytinya. They also capably and cheerfully accommodated my food allergy restrictions.

    I eat here every time I am in DC, and it never disappoints. This time it was more delicious than ever.  Creative and delicious flavor and texture combinations.

    This is a really happy place - good food, lively conversations going on all around, good service - and the price is very fair. The location is nicely situated on a fairly busy corner with beautiful windows overlooking downtown DC.
