Food was so amazingly good, from the roasted cauliflower to the tender and flavorful steak. The service was friendly and helpful, modifying the chef's menu for our vegetarian with shellfish allergy guest. And the overall enviroment was warm, welcoming, and cozy. My only complaint is that the experience is so good that no one wants to leave their tables! Like a great family dinner. Thank you

Never fails to be a great experience. The only issue we've had in many years of coming back to Zatinya is noise. This time we arrived at 5 PM for a 6 PM reservation and it was quieter than usual. They were simply fantastic, acknowledged our anniversary and made the night special. But all visits to this superb restaurant are special

The food was outstanding. The small dishes were actually generous and delicious. Smoked mushrooms were so good - unlike anything I have had, mushroom wise. Meatballs were also quite good. Highly recommend Zaytinya.

While the food was good, the absolute din and terrible background music totally destroyed the evening. I would never eat at Zaytinya again. Our party of four was totally unhappy.

Excellent server. Some excellent dishes and some OK. The lamb shank was excellent. The desserts were excellent. Flatbread fine. Falafel a little hard, but good taste

Zaytinya is ALWAYS good - and sitting out on the patio with heat lamps is perfect. There is little I can say that is negative - the only nit pick might be the price of sparkling water - a little tiny bottle for $5? Seems incongruent with everything else on the menu!
