    My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

    A Dining Experience to Remember! From the moment we walked into Limani, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of genuine hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance was inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort, but it was the staff and service that truly elevated our experience to another level. Every member of the team was exceptionally friendly and professional. Carlos had an impressive knowledge of the menu and took the time to make thoughtful recommendations. His passion and dedication to our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a work of art, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity. But what made the meal truly special was how effortlessly the staff anticipated our needs. They refilled drinks without being asked, timed each course perfectly, and even surprised us with a small complimentary treat when they learned we were celebrating a special occasion. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and service excel at such a high level, but Limani has mastered the art of hospitality. By the end of the evening, we were already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place to go. We can’t wait to return!

    Waiter was great, Gilmore was his last name. Only complaint is that we ordered one chicken dish that was huge so we had way too much food. They should tell you when you’re at a tapas type restaurant that a dish is that generous! Overall the food was great. Spanakopita is the best around
