JOEL IS THE BEST WAITER EVER. 10/10 service, so attentive and delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!!!!

As I have dined at other Jose Andres restaurants, Zaytinya ,too, did not disappoint. The food and cocktails were superb - my compliments to the cook and bartending staff. The greeters and wait staff were respectful and kind. Zaytinya is covid respectful, but not covid crazy. You will be treated with respect and not be put on a timer to wolf your meal down , risking being thrown out of the restaurant if you happen to go over your allotted time as in some other DC restaurants. At Zaytinya you can enjoy a relaxed dinner at a relaxed pace. I highly recommend this restaurant - delicious food at a reasonable price, with great service.

One of my favorite restaurants in DC! I love drinks, food, service.... I’ll always be happy to be back!

Great food as always. No bottomless mimosas though.

Food was very good. Everything was fresh! The service was good, our waiter was knowledgeable. We were seated as soon as we came. I would def return.

Wonderful meal and everything was set up perfectly for COVID-19 safety.

great food, ambiance and service, as always. highly recommended

Awesome servers! Was my anniversary they made my day!! Food is delicious and low priced compared to ambience and quality

I would rate overall experience, food & value a 3.5. The taste and freshness of the food was subpar. Not bad by any means, but none of the food made me excited. The cocktails, however, were amazing. Service was extremely slow. It seemed that there was only one waiter for a huge section of the downstairs seating which I empathize with and of course wasn’t their fault.

Nice there was a heater at every table outside

Great patio eating area. Excellent distance from table to table. I think most maybe all of the staff was double masked & wore gloves. Heaters were excellent. Food, as always was yummy.

How was Zaytinya? It was delicious, as always. They have a great outdoor dining setup with plenty of space heaters. Everything we ordered was great. Honestly, the nicest meal we've had since Covid started.

Great! We did the tasting menu and we’re not disappointed!

Top notch creative veggie mezze. And a turkish coffee chocolate cake to die for with delish mastic ice cream. Wow

Love the food here, and a good outdoor setup for winter.

Great food and vibes!

Very good food and presentation and wait staff. The bread as always was fresh but took forever to get to our table. All else was perfect.

Our experience was amazing. The staff was very cautious and took proper protocol with the current pandemic. The food was great, the ambience was spectacular and our overall experience was amazing. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Food was delicious and would recommend the chef experience 100%!

We sat outside. Appreciate that option.

Been here a few times now but saw a drastic decline in the flavours of food. Didn't like the host. There were so many good seating options and I requested one but she refused to the one we liked. Couldn't understand why, and it was not due to covid policy. The service was really good though.

Zaytinya continues to set the bar for all others.. Great food, first-rate service, real focus on safety and sanitation.. Love the Soujouk Pide, Garides Anitho, and many others.

We did the chef's tasting menu and it was really wonderful. There was a lot of food, so you'll want to go hungry. The service was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Enjoyed the first dining experience since COVID breakout. Was pleasantly surprised by the safety measures put in place for diners such as glass separators and distance between tables. Food was great as usual.

Went for lunch with a friend. Originally had outdoor reservations but the inside of the restaurant was empty so we sat inside. They have a small lunch menu but we ordered from the regular menu and shared 3 mezze dishes. Lamb was excellent, chicken and rice was tasty and the crispy Brussels sprouts were great.

They have a nice outdoor area that is covered and heat lamps so you can eat outside safely! Food was good. Out waiter was wonderful despite the fact that he had the entire patio. Tip generously these restaurants need it:)

We went for bd celebration ,no one even mention that to us 👎🏻food okay ,service okay ,ambiance 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 disappointed

Zaytinya is always incredibly delicious. Best brussels sprouts in town!

Had to wait 30 mins even with reservation, but like it was also valentine's day so it could've been expected

The food was great and the service was fantastic! There were heaters burning in the outdoor patio but it was no match for a District winter. I look forward to going back when the weather is nicer. Tip-Bring a blanket to cover your legs.

We dined outside on the patio for Valentine’s Day and I was relieved it wasn’t one of those enclosed bubble deals. The fixed menu was perfection and we enjoyed every bite! Delicious cocktails as well. Thank you so much! It was our first time and we’ll definitely be back.

The upstairs room should either be removed from service OR the walls should be painted, covered in artwork, fireplace turned "on"...I felt like we were in an empty convention room that no one bothered to put any energy into blending into the lower (main) level of the restaurant. I will go back but will request not to be sat up there....beyond bad- and reflects poorly on the experience of the restaurant!

It was great!! Awesome seating and for Valentine’s Day they offered a special menu. Perfect experience

Fantastic Valentine’s Day dinner. We experienced all the plates in the menu and all are wonderful. It’s worth the price and the hype. Fantastic staffs as well

We ordered the Royal Brunch. The food was Absolutely Delicious!

Had the brunch food was delicious and the price was excellent and included a wine tasting!

Great experience, even with winter outdoor dining!

Great first experience! Went for Valentine’s Day dinner which was delicious. Service was spectacular, everything was timely, they worked around Covid policies well, the only negative aspect was tough to hear through masks, noise level wasn’t bad, but Mediterranean named dishes, plus listening through makes was tough, so we just kept menu up on phone. Very generous amount of food for the prices! Cocktails and plates were fantastic! Defiantly would come back.

AMAZING food, experience, and service. I consider myself a foodie and this was our first time visiting DC. An unforgettable dinner

great food, great service and a great way to celebrate a special day in a way my wife and I felt very safe, thanks
