    Dined at Zaytinya last night for dinner with one of my girl friends for Winter Restaurant Week, and the night did not disappoint! A 5-course dinner for $55 was such a deal. The cocktails were delicious as well. We ordered hummus, crispy brussel sprouts, smoked beet salad, sautéed shrimp, seared salmon, lamb kebab, beef soutzoukakia, and olive oil cake. Everything was SO fresh and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will for sure be back!
