Zaytinya By Jose Andres - Washington DC

Had an excellent experience at Zaytinya by Jose Andres. The food was very tasteful and unique. The cocktails were delicious and so was the wine. The menu was expansive so our large group decided on a tasting menu and it was awesome. The tasting menu was vast for the price, we got to try a little big of everything and it all tasted great. Service was slow at the beginning but after we got our first round of drinks the attention to detail picked up. I would normally comment on the dishes I really enjoy but I tried so many things it would be hard to choose. Definitely a spot to check out for some Mediterranean cuisine and I highly recommend it.

Delicious outdoor lunch during Restaurant Week! Plenty of heaters. Very attentive service staff. They were great with my gluten-free friend. The only issue was the water spilling off the side of the tent, but that didn't affect everyone sitting outside. Only the unlucky few near the edge! Highly recommended.

Mediterranean restaurant by famous Jose Andres, with authentic music in an open high ceiling beautiful space. Food has special spices and therefore different tastes. Warm tin bread with dipping in olive oil to start. Ship with garlic , octopus is delicious so is the chicken soup not traditional taste but different with lemon and egg. Great to try all these completely different tastes. Service is kind but a bit slow so make sure you are not in a rush. Once ordered food comes quickly.

This is an excellent restaurant that’s always bustling, so I highly recommend making a reservation. The food is fantastic, featuring a blend of Greek, Lebanese, and other cuisines crafted by a celebrity chef. The flavors and presentation are absolutely worth experiencing. We received great service and really appreciated our waiter, who offered excellent cocktail suggestions that we thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely return on my next visit to Washington, DC.

The food was truly fantastic! We ordered several small plates, and my favorites were the seared halloumi and the taramosalata (a cured carp roe spread that, believe me, will taste like ice cream if no one informs you that it's fish eggs). Although the portions were small, they were reasonably priced, allowing us to sample a wide variety of dishes. The server was very friendly and provided great recommendations for our first visit. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in Mediterranean cuisine.
