SO cute (fire pits, string lights), good & aesthetically pleasing drinks, good food, but EXPENSIVE & bad parking.

We had a lovely afternoon here after our camping trip, and the food was amazing as well as the ambience. Our server was also very attentive but one of the other waiters who took our plates before we even finished the food , she had blonde hair and glasses. She was very rude and didn't even ask us if we were done with our food and she just took it from us. Just wanted to bring it up to light for the managers and anyone who is dining here.

We went here for a dinner. My wife and I ordered falafel, Baba Ganush and soup. The falafel was brought with no lettuce, just a pieces of tomatoes. Baba Ganush was a separate dish barely enough for a person. The quality was good. But the quantity was not sufficient for one person. I liked the decor of this restaurant. But the restaurant is a bit pricy.

Zaytoon was really delicious Lebanese food. The place is tucked away near Mission Santa Barbara, up a small staircase, and in a small, White House. They have limited seating inside but it was enough to sit for an early Saturday dinner. There is also a patio area outside where you could eat but it was rainy. We ordered the: - Combo kebabs- comes with 1 lamb, 1 chicken and 1 beef kebab along with a small fatoosh salad and rice pilaf. We substituted for 2 chicken and 1 beef. All meats were super juicy, although my companion preferred more spices on the chicken. Salad was excellent. - Pistachio spread - must order. It was so creamy. Love the pomegranates on top. - Side of pita- which costs extra, 2 full, warm pitas cut in half. Total bill came up to $60 not including tip. Service was attentive and pleasant. Parking is available on the street for 90 minute parking except Sundays which is unlimited. I'd come back again if I were in the area.

Best restaurant always! Each time good and ambiance is perfect! Can't recommend this place enough
Zaytoon was recommended to me and the place did not disappoint! It was a chilly evening and they offer blankets and either a fire pit table or heaters by the legs. Since it's all outdoor seating this was a nice comfort to be kept warm! Our server Isael was attentive and kind. The food was all so tasty! Their menu was simple but everything was outstanding. For two appetizers, two drinks, and two entrees our bill came to be about $130. So pretty pricey for Mediterranean food but worth a fancy dinner with nice aesthetics! 10/10 would recommend and come back.

Valeria was amazing, have a great recommendation on our order that was 100% the right choice. Food was amazing, will return soon for another dinner with the family for the fire place tables.

If you can find Zaytoon, you should go. Unless it's raining. And get here early, as it fills up fast. First off, listen to your map service when it tells you where Zaytoon is. They don't really have streetside signs, just a set of stairs leading into a garden. The food here is delicious, if a bit pricey for my southeast US wallet. The lemon chicken is moist and tender, which is surprising for a chicken cutlet; I usually find them chewy. The side rice and salad are a nice touch, too. The setting is like a garden reception with fire pit tables and fairy lights strung overhead. It's cozy, but beware the trees dropping bits into your food.

Great food, unique experience. Great for families, groups of friends, or even a date night. Everything is fantastic!Vegetarian options: Falafel, halloumi cheese, salads, hummus baba ganoush and Pita.
Zaytoon is a little gem near the Lobero Theater. We ate outside on the deck. There were plenty of heat lamps to keep us warm on a chilly evening (coats stayed on). The service is top notch. The food is exquisite. A friend and I shared the salmon dish and the vegetarian house dish. Best baba ganoush I’ve ever had. We each had The Standard cocktail, essentially a good margarita served up without ice.
