We had the cookbook tasting menu and everything was incredible. You get to try so many different things! Our wait staff was really on top of everything and our pita basket was never empty. Drinks were INSANELY good. Come here for a good time, and to learn about this wonderful cuisine and chef!
Loved it! Atmosphere was so bright and welcoming, decorations and cleanliness it was a great place. We had few options from ala cart menu, they did not disappoint. My favorite was kibbeh. Taste was amazing fresh ingredients. Definitely see my self coming back here.

Very delicious - they kept refilling this light thin bread for dipping in various dishes. The bread itself had superb technique - and everything tasted delicious.Learned a lot from the hummus technique, Salad was also very delicious, the sujuk pide (pizza) was quite delicious as well.Only thing I didn't like was the grape wrapped leaves - but that was technically well done - just not to my palate.

The food never fails, this is my third trip and decided to venture into the tasting menu. Absolutely lovely.I highly recommend Zaytinya, The wait staff is fabulous and able to answer all sorts of strange questions.The restaurant is located in a busy area of downtown so be prepared for heavy tourist traffic

It is good because it's expensive. Like you have to be good if you gonna charge that much.
Fishy seafood, underwhelming food across the board, bad service, never asked if I wanted a refill on my wine.

The service and food were excellent ?. We went for brunch with friends. I don't recall which brunch menu we chose, but everyone left full and satisfied. Outstanding Mediterranean cuisine. Generous portions for each course. It's popular and stays busy, and this restaurant is recommended on the Michellin Guide as a "good eats" and the proprietor, Jose Andres is a well known and respected chef. A reservation is highly recommended.

A birthday celebration for 8 and we all chose the Chef’s Experience. It was fabulous and we all ended up with food to take home. They also accommodated one guest’s nut allergy easily. The cocktails were absolutely fantastic. The server was clearly new and couldn’t answer some questions but he earnest.

We were excited for the full experience and to try new things. We chose to do the experience for 85pp.The only dish that really impressed us was one of the desserts (olive oil cake). Everything else was just okay. Service was great! We had a reservation and got there earlier and they were able to get us a table in just 5 min.
The " cookbook tasting experience" was amazing. What an experience! Great customer service. Very busy but very efficient. Will definitely recommend.
