    It’s Restaurant Week in DC. Zaytinya’s offering is outstanding. The five courses were great. Especially enjoyed the ground lamb kebab. At $55 per person and $35 for a bottle of wine you can’t beat it.

    Always fabulous! A must when I’m visiting DC! You can’t go wrong with anything on this menu so the tasting menu is my favorite! It is noisy though.

    The team was incredibly gracious and made us feel we could take our time. They brought out a candle with dessert for the birthday we were celebrating and the food was all exceptionally good. We got the Chef's experience which was great value and we had enough food that we needed to take some home.

    We dined on the covered and heated patio yesterday and loved our meal. The patio is comfortable to sit on even in the frigid January weather. We even had to ask that the heater next to us be turned down a tiny bit. We ordered the grilled halloumi. The parsley oil drizzle was amazing & the fruit accompaniments were so nice. We then received the Brussels Sprouts. They are so tasty and the portion is very generous. We received the Bronzino, Beef Meatballs, and one of the lamb dishes. We weren’t able to finish everything. I had their signature espresso martini and we shared Lemon Sorbet for dessert. The sorbet was fresh, clean, and delicious. The perfect way to end the meal!
