    Good food, but the service was disappointing, especially due to an unreasonable rule about the tasting menu on our anniversary.

    Excellent customer service from the entire team not just our server. The bus staff were on it! The quality of the food was amazing and worth the price. I have not been in years, and it was the perfect spot for my anniversary, and we included our 3 kids! Great memories. Thank you!

    Such a fun and delicious dining experience. Giancarlo’s was our server, who is full of great energy and fun. It is great to look around to the busy bar and restaurant and see all of the employees having a great time with their customers. Food and wine, always perfect in José André’s establishments.

    Thank you for visiting! We loved having you. We made sure to let Giancarlo know about your kind words, and hope to host you again soon.

    We were visiting DC over the weekend and I made reservations a few days prior to our visit. We got there early and were seated right away. Super fast service and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend this place.

    Servers were very well meaning and nice, but multiple dishes did not come out at all or had to be requested 2-3x. Food and flavors were very good when the food was delivered, but it was stressful and completely unacceptable for the price point.

If you'd like to send our team an email at info.dc@zaytinya.c.., we always welcome additional feedback.
