I've been to this location many times before and have always had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately last night, the service was terrible. We were served 3 dips as appetizers and waited 25 minutes for the pita bread to come out. We had to ask several times and our server seemed bothered by the ask. We also ordered 2 pides so there was enough for each person to have a slice, yet only one came out. It became awkward for the group because it was clear there was not enough for everyone. After asking multiple times, a second one was brought out 30 minutes later. Lastly, we ordered a nice bottle of red wine which was opened and placed on the table, and no one came around to serve it. We had to pour the wine ourselves all night. Thankfully the manager was extremely receptive to the feedback and took care of us at the end, which turned the night around.

The beautiful design, layout, and plates are very pleasing to the eye. Lunch was quiet and guests evenly spaced out; highly recomended if you can attend earlier in the day before the bar scene heats up and every table is full. Not to miss dishes: Htipiti, Avgolemono Soup, Fattoush, Lamb Baharat Tiryaki Çay tea. Chef Andrés again hits the top notes with exceptional quality of flavor, aromas, and colors to delight all the senses. I'll be back!

Overall great experience. The service was very slow took 45 mins for our table to be ready and even for a drink it took over half and hour. Food was great and we enjoyed everything else.

The food was good but the service was very slow. I believe they need to hire more people for service

The food, ambience, drinks were 10/10! I love the vibe and enjoyed it so much with my close friends! The service was pretty good, didn't have to wait for a long time for the food to arrive. Overall, worth the experience and looking forward to coming back again! 😊

While the cold food was great, the hot food was only mildly warm - like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for an excessive amount of time. Cocktails were awesome as was the wine selection and the waitstaff. I would go back once more to see if the food issue was an anomaly, but if not I would not return. That said, the food was delicious, and that is why I would go back.

Zaytinya never disappoints. Our waiter and the sommelier were both fantastic, genuinely attentive and. knowledgeable. Our waiter was very thoughtful about making sure several of our dishes could be fully vegan without losing any flavor. He walked us through ingredients and checked in throughout the meal to be sure everything was perfect. We ordered the Crispy Brussels Afelia, Cauliflower Hawayej, Smoked Beet Salata, Imam Bayildi, Falafel, Salmon and Celebration Rice (so good!) plus vegan bread. Everything was fresh, beautifully seasoned, and deep in flavor. Fantastic experience from start to finish, can't wait to return!

The value of the chef's menu is outstanding. However the Brussels sprout is a little bit burnt.

Food was too expensive, table layout was not optimal for shared mezze, and the quality of the food was formulaic and uninspired
Everything very tasty, but nothing mind blowing. Somehow the kitchen lost our order for the meat platter for the table, luckily we ended up not needing it as we filled up in the appetizers and sides.

Food was strictly OK. Nothing outstanding. The portion sizes were fine but nothing worth all the hype that we heard about this place. The baba ghanoush was not up to par and neither was the hummus.

I came to dinner with a friend who was there the night before as well he said the service wasn't good but he loved the food. The service was really slow and it was Sunday night the restaurant wasn't even busy so not sure why everything took so long. Food was good at best. I personally probably won't be back, More because of the service not the food... The decor was the best thing I thought in this restaurant...
