I went to this restaurant in dc and jumped right away when I could make a reservation. The check in was a bit ridiculous. There was a line of people waiting to check in with 3 people at the front with what looked like tablets to check in but all three had to do each parties check in, complete with asking a slew of questions I was asked when finally seated. Then once I checked in, I had to wait until someone who had my name wrong came to get me I’m sure all of this is due to the restaurant being new but the food service was perfect.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great! I really wanted to love it, but we were disappointed in every dish except for the shrimp.

I was overall disappointed. I have been to the Zaytinya in DC many times, and this just doesn’t live up. We ordered several dips, most of which were flavorless. We ordered the whole fish as the main entree for the table, halfway through our meal we were told by the server they were now out of the item. Just all felt very mid. Not rushing back.

We had a perfect dining experience: The food and service were incredible, and the pita bubble bread flowed. Highly recommend.

The freshness and flavors in each dish were extraordinary. Our table enjoyed sharing many dishes, of which the standouts were the seared halloumi, Lamb Barharat, Gardes Me Antho shrimp, Octopus Santorini, and the pear & yogurt to only name a few. Everything was so well seasoned and we savored how each fresh ingredient is treated with such respect. The service was exceptional, with extensive knowledge of the menu and guidance to ordering complimentary dishes.
