There is an eclectic mix of food choices and the portions are perfect for sharing. The Atmosphere is vibrant and the bathrooms are beautiful! more

We picked this place mostly becuase of all the positive reviews and becasue it was within 2 minutes walk from our hotel. If you never tried tapas before and must do it while in DC, go here. Otherwise, skip. The food is good but not great. They serve blend of lebanese, turkish and greek cuisine which results in some interesting... more

I recently visited Zaytinya with a few girlfriends and my fiance. I really enjoyed trying all of the different appetizers and everything was delicious. It's a great place for lunch and we were seated quickly. We ladies were very satisfied with sharing different plates, but my fiance was still hungry when we left. He is a really man and needs... more

Enjoyed the food. Service so so - never around when we needed something. Go for the early reservations - toward the end of the meal the dining room was really loud and crowded. Difficult to move about the front entrance with so many people. more

We stuck with the small plates (which are actually quite generously sized) and had 4 for two people and split a full desert, which... more

I'm usually not a fan of tapas or mezze, but I really enjoyed Zaytinya. The food was excellent and it has a great atmosphere. I will definitely go back! more

This is a great place for a casual tapas dinner. Yes, many there are dressed to the nines but you don't have to. It is tapas style Mediterranean fare. Very good wine selection and the food is excellent. Highly recommend it for both meat eaters and veggies. more

A fun must-try located in Chinatown neighborhood. Large restaurant with a very busy bar scene at happy hour. However the patio is nice and quiet :) The greek influenced tapas from Chef Mike Izabella (Top Chef contestant on BRAVO Fall of '09) are fabulous but after ordering many it can get a bit pricey, however the pricing is comparable for... more
