    Did not expect to have a sampling of EVERYTHING on the brunch menu…what a pleasant surprise. The speed in the which dishes were served was just right, serving staff very attentive. The mimosas and margaritas were great! Definitely put this restaurant at the top of your list.

    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!

    Wonderful experience! My husband and our two friends made a reservation for a New Year’s Day brunch, we got a great table, but every table has adequate space between so you won’t be on top of another party no matter where you sit. There were coat hangers conveniently around all the tables. The staff is super attentive, professional, knowledgeable, while being kind and upbeat. Just like the ambiance and the staff, the food is incredible! From the coffee, the pastries, the mains, the drinks, the sides, there’s not a single bad bite, in fact, you’re more likely to say “this may be the best thing I’ve ever tried.” Couldn’t recommend this spot enough! Plenty of options that will impress those who like a special dish, but many familiar options that allow anyone to enjoy a delicious meal in a beautiful and wonderfully run restaurant. I hope the staff is compensated well and their value is well known. This place wouldn’t have the level of charm it does without them!
