    Four of us had the lunch special which allows each diner to choose from three sets of tapas and two desserts. Every dish was delicious! The sangria was half price. The servers were attentive and friendly, and the ambience was perfect for conversation throughout the meal. AND it was reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

    This is the fifth time we’ve eaten here over the years and it’s a wonderful surprise every time. The mezze options are tremendous and never have had one I didn’t love. Service always impeccable and professional. Great open space. Very energetic and extremely busy. High noise level so not the place for a quiet or romantic dinner. A fabulous place for great food, fun with friends. We spend at least 2-3 hours every time we go there with friends and never have felt rushed. The wine list is excellent. Prices very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Not formal either. Business casual. Not often one finds a restaurant that over the years quality is consistently superb. Zaytinya never disappoints!

    The food & service was excellent. I have gone there before the Caps game a few times now. Better than some of the other places close to the Capital Center and an easy walk to the arena after.
