Everything in this place is top-notch!! Beautiful venue, great staff, awesome service, good choice of music, beautiful crowd, and tasty Mediterranean dishes!! Portions are small but you do not feel that you leave the restaurant hungry since they start your service with fresh bread and olive oil. For a full experience, I would offer the kabob platter + a salad!! Staff are great and know how to keep the crowed happy although it is almost very crowded. Reservation is definitely recommended and note that finding parking space is not easy!! It’s DC, after all!!

A great experience but front desk staff needs work. Had reservations, made us wait 20 minutes, and then rolled their eyes after we declined sitting outdoors when our reservation was for indoor seating.

It’s our third time eating at Zaytinya. We love this restaurant but i got to say this last visit was disappointing. The service was not good. The hostesses were not friendly and our server was very rushed but that’s not the worst part. The restroom was disgusting it smelled like urine so bad I couldn’t even stand the smell. Even the sinks were disgusting with dirt and pubic hair. I hope a manager sees this and gets someone in there and deep cleaning from top to bottom. If the bathroom is this disgusting who knows about the kitchen. I have a lot of respect for Jose Andres but this wasn’t it.

Came for restaurant week, sat on the patio. Service was attentive and brisk, food came quickly and was tasty but nothing mind-blowing.

It was a nice dining experience, however some of the food items didn’t quite taste as good as I was expecting for a restaurant of this caliber. For example, the octopus dish was cooked well but tasted a bit boring. That said, it was my first time trying Mediterranean cuisine so I don’t have any prior experience to benchmark against.

Well this restaurant is a bougée one downtown with many choices of good foods and tapas. The drinks were really good, and it’s definitely a good place to hang out with friends. The foods are creative, but not so much different from the good foods outside for its price. We ordered too much foods, but was overall satisfied with quality. The chicken pieces in the kabab platter were really good. Also don’t eat too much bread in advance.

Amazing Taste of the Mediterranean! When I miss Turkish food from now on- This.. is… the… place! Staff was awesome, always attentive and checking to see if I needed more bread or anything. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back.

The hostess was so kind; immediately walking in, the atmosphere was amiable. A good place for dinner and to get drinks after work.

I ordered the kebab platter, which consisted of lamb, beef and chicken. All the three items were very well cooked and tasted flavorful. Utterly delicious.

A Mediterranean restaurant that really makes you feel like you have left the country. Food is pretty good, the wine menu is superb- the written description of the each wines is the best I’ve ever seen! As you read you can actually imagine the taste. We had the four-course chef’s menu and we weren’t disappointed!
