    Can’t go wrong with the chef’s tasting menu. The goat cheese appetizer was excellent and the apricot yogurt dessert divine!

    Ordered the Aegean Sunset (non-alcoholic) and the chef's tasting menu. Incredible value for the amount and quality of food presented. Favorites were the hummus with harissa, shrimp saganak, lamb, and Greek yogurt with apricots.

    This restaurant was absolutely incredible. The ambience was lively and energetic and the food was DELICIOUS. We shared a bunch of dishes as a table and our favorites were the hummus, Brussels sprouts, chicken skewer mezze, and cheese platter. The cocktails were also very tasty. Highly recommend this place and will DEFINITELY be back again in the future!!

    Dependably delicious with great and friendly service. Everything we ordered was very tasty and the waitstaff paced the meal well. Outside “dj” could make more pleasing selections and turn down the volume when the space is relatively empty.

    Having had our first date at Zaytinya, we decided to sign our marriage certificate over lunch three years later. Still just as good as ever. Delicious food with great, friendly server! We keep coming back and are never disappointed.
