    I’m always amazed at the consistency and high level experience at Zaytinya. We had the lunch tasting menu. Probably a total of 15 small plates. All were delicious and creative. Service and timing also impeccable.

    Christmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!

    Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!

    First time, there were six of us. We were absolutely delighted to have tried it. From appetizers to dessert, and the main courses in between, everything was delicious. The fettuccine bolognese was excellent. The gnocchi pasta with cream sauce was good. The ravioli dishes and their ribeye dish was excellent. Thank you. We are fortunate to have an establishment like this close to home. We’ll be back to try other dishes. 😋
