Zaytinya Washington Reviews from The Last Year
Fantastic.
Good enough to eat twice in 4 days (once as take out, once for special occasion early dinner). Food/drinks: The food is excellent. Very impressed with the octopus, tomatoey eggplant dish, fatoush, sea bass, babaganoush and 4 other dishes I tried. Cauliflower was good but not that exciting. 6 dishes for 3 people was plenty. Love that they're allergen friendly (gluten free, dairy free was no problem) and gave me lettuce cups in place of pita. Oh, get the tahini!! It's next level. And the 3pm in Instanbul. Delicious. And the golden raisin sorbet. Light and refreshing yet creamy. Service: Also excellent. Getting attentive service with a full house (there must be like 200 tables?!) and real care about my dietary restrictions was impressive. Ambiance: Nice! We sat indoors in a booth. It's airy. Buzzing with activity. And was a nice experience overall. My only complaints: it was drafty when the door opened/closed and there are stairs to get to the bathroom. The food for us in but the experience will keep me coming back. Tip: tasting menu is probably a lot of food so don't feel pressured to get it!
Perfectly Delicious!
Our son, my husband and I chose the Chef’s Tasting Menu and had an excellent meal! We began with a Tito’s Martini and stayed with water for the rest of the meal. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Service was timed as we finished one course the next was delivered. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu while being personable and funny. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for its food, service, and ambience.
Zaytinya.
..wow what can I say about this INCREDIBLE place? I want to start off by saying that I am allergic to all nuts (except peanuts), tahini, and I'm also vegetarian. This itself makes me stray from ALL Mediterranean places because most of their dishes have these things in them, and let me tell you before you tell me, I am missing out on some good stuff! My group of 14 & I dined here recently on Saturday, April 13th on the top floor. My friend called ahead for a large group & had the menu picked out in advance. My birthday was just a few days before so he also mentioned that to the restaurant & they added it to our personal menus! What a sweet & personable touch! To make it easier on our waiter, we split the table up by vegans/vegetarians on 1 side & meat-eaters on 1 side. By the way, BIG SHOUT OUT to our server, Elvis!! He somehow remembered everyone's allergies & dietary restrictions and remembered whose drinks go where if someone switched their seats briefly. Elvis, I don't know what to tell you, other than that you made my dining experience at a restaurant where I normally am not able to eat anything, so memorable that I will literally never forget it. He brought out dishes that accommodated everyone, and then if a vegetarian dish had tahini or pine nuts in it, he would bring me the same dish without it. This was for ALL courses, from the appetizers to dinner and even to dessert! I seriously cried happy tears on the inside! Anyways, everything here was absolutely fantastic. While it was mine & my husband's first time dining here, a few others have dined here before and have raved about it. I can definitely say, that I am another happy & raving guest and will be recommending this restaurant for years to come. Can't WAIT to be back!
It's been years since I have been to Zaytinya, back then
It's been years since I have been to Zaytinya, back then not sure if reviews were even the in thing! What I remembered were regular entrees not tapas style. We tried to call to make a reservation but nobody answered, so we opted to still go. As soon as we were about to walk in, we were told there's a private event. So much so for not being diligent in updating their hours information to avoid the inconvenience of trekking to the restaurant, Spending on Uber, etc. We still wanted to eat there so we made reservations for the next evening. We came back and we didn't have 4 ppl that we reserved for due to last minute illness. We had to wait even when we arrived on time per our reservation. By the time we were seated we informed the hostess that we only had 2 ppl. She then just told us sorry we can't seat ourselves, that is policy. Nowhere in that conversation did she say they will try to find us a table. I was left with the impression they'd just ask us to leave. Thank you though for Christopher the manager who was so accommodating with finding us another table without much wait, with bubbly for the inconvenience. I ordered the eggplant bites and chocolate cake. The cake was on dry side, definitely a 3. Best part of the evening was the bottomless warm pits bread that was served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
These people are the scum of the earth.
Or should I say the DC. Anyways, there was okay service UNTIL WE GOT THERE. Mr. Manager told us that the food was halal [FOR CHICKEN AND LAMB ONLY], which was nice. Then, they took 30 minutes to tell us our seats had been given to someone else by accident. They thought we were Rodrigo; yet contrary to the affirmed claim, Olivia was not present. We were seated 20 minutes later. MIND YOU WE WERE STARVING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AT THIS POINT. Anyways it was quite an nice area with an overhang and exquisite lighting. They took 30 minutes to serve me two lamb chops. They were nice enough to be confused AGAIN as they thought we were Rodrigo again, offering us more room for the "joining party." The lamb chops I had were tiny. One of them was practically entirely fat, the other somewhat fat. Don't waste your $30 dollars! The music their is mostly only bass and drums somehow, intentionally.
Food and service were amazing! Very pretty restaurant.
We ate at the bar and our server Jeferson M was fantastic!! The woman behind the bar was incredible making sure our bread stayed filled. Honestly some of the best cocktails, food and service we have ever had! Only improvement would be that the ladies restroom had a couple stalls without paper both nights and seems to require a dedicated employee with the amount of high traffic they get on the weekends. Definitely make a reservation if you can as they were super busy but we can see why!!
Zaytinya was a lovely culinary experience! My husband and I
Zaytinya was a lovely culinary experience! My husband and I were visiting Washington DC and we felt so lucky to discover this gem of a restaurant, owned by a true saint of our times! We got the tasting menu and every course was packed with delicious items from a traditional Mediterranean menu! Our only criticism was that it was way too much food. We were on foot and staying in a hotel, so we had to waste food, which is something we hardly ever do. Each course could've been cut down by 1/4 to 1/3 and we still would've been completely satisfied!
Food was decent.
Not worth the money or the wait. The service was bad. They accidentally gave our seats away. They tried to move us to sit with someone else. Took 1 hour for the food. Not all halal . Not enough on the plate. Too much fat in the meat. $30 for 2 mini lamb chops is not worth it. . Our hotel room was cheaper than the meal . They called us the Rodrigo family. No I'm not Olivia Rodrigo's dad ‼. The beef was so not halal mode. Turkish Restraunt not fully halal? The waiters did not give us free cash. It was not in Mexico either . It was not a school . No robots serving us like McDonald's . There was no private Jennifer Lopez performance. They did not give us complimentary cuban cigars. Nor did they give us a free ambulance or taxi cab service. They did not give us the country of Türkiye in our wallet. The waiter was not Steve Harvey. There was no iMax theater screen built into the waiter named Ariana Cash. Johny cash did not perform. The ambiance was not ambiancing. There was no Mari Acha band.
Beautiful decor.
Excellent Brussels sprouts. The fattoush was so so and the salmon sandwich needs some more flavor since it was a bit bland (strange considering the flavorful ingredients). Decently priced for lunch
Came here for lunch on a Monday with my husband.
Lovely ambiance. Business-casual vibe as expected on a weekday during lunch. We ordered hummus along with the chicken shawarma and falafel sandwiches, which came with a side Fattoush salad. Everything was very tasty. Only slight con was the falafel sandwich was a little dry - I should have asked for some tahini/tzatziki on the side. Service was a little slow, but it was busy. Overall, I would recommend this place but wouldn't say it's the best Mediterranean food I've had.
Great food, very fancy so it would be a special occasion
Great food, very fancy so it would be a special occasion place for me but I reallg enjoyed the food, especially the branzino. Free pita is good as well when they are stocked up on it. The server was nice but didn't really explain anything on the menu. We sat outside which I recommend, much more peaceful.
Fabulous Meal, Great Service
My family had an amazing meal at Zaytinya. We did have to wait for a minute or two for our table to be ready (we made reservations two weeks in advance), and the restaurant was packed, but once we were seated the service was great, and the food was just phenomenal. Definitely a loud, high-energy atmosphere, or at least that was how it was in the area of the restaurant where we were seated, but that did not detract from the quality of the experience.
Terrific
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Great food, great service, great vibe. Will come back when next in DC, for sure.
Very interesting and very characteristic
We ordered several appetizers and they were all very tasty. The service was excellent and the place was very well lit. I already want to go back there the next time I'm in the Center
Incredible food, fun lively room! Even the pita bread was
Incredible food, fun lively room! Even the pita bread was remarkable. The staff was helpful to navigate gluten free options. The octopus was amazing. Highly recommended for innovative Mediterranean food.
We caught the tail end of the lunch rush, but the staff was
We caught the tail end of the lunch rush, but the staff was still incredibly attentive, kind, and hospitable. Our server was a pro and she wasn't even phased by the by how busy it was. The food was so good! The ambiance was nice. Decor was clean and simple. We visited during the cherry blossom festival, so we were able to try a few seasonal items, like their cherry blossom cocktail. Very nice restaurant and we certainly plan to come back again soon.
I LOVE zaytinya!! It is a fantastic spot to visit.
Having been here before, I decided to skip the experience menu and go a la carte, creating my own version of the experience. And what an experience it was! We started with the Zaytinya fries and an olives platter, which is an absolute must-try. It comes with pickled cauliflower and seasoned nuts, adding a delightful twist to the traditional olive platter. The labneh and hummus were creamy and flavorful, perfect for dipping with the unlimited fresh warm pita breads that kept coming to our table. For the main course, we got the delish lamb and the perfectly seasoned chicken shouk. Each dish was a testament to the culinary prowess of Chef Jose Andres and his chefs at this location. To complement our meal, we enjoyed a few of their signature cocktails, each one a perfect blend of flavors. The ambience of Zaytinya is fantastic. There was an incredible vibe throughout the restaurant, making it not just a meal but a whole culinary experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our dining experience was seamless. In summary, Zaytinya is a must-visit for anyone in D.C. looking for an exceptional dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to add this gem to your list. I can't wait to go back!
Everything about this place is special: the ambiance is
Everything about this place is special: the ambiance is busy but sophisticated, the service professional, and the hood felt like taking a trip to the Mediterranean for the evening. Truly a top tier dining experience for us.
Good Mediterranean cuisine and American atmosphere
Greek/Turkish restaurant, but very American in organization and management. Crowded for dinner even on a weekday, 2 of us arrived without a reservation and found a place to dine at the counter. Good food. Of Greek and even more Turkish inspiration, just Americanized Acceptable price for the place
I have had many good meals at Zaytinya, some of them superb.
But I am here to tell you that Saturday night at the prime dinner hour is not the time to get one. This is a case of a restaurant's wild popularity backfiring: there is no way a restaurant of that size can cook to order when full. The usually wonderful grilled halloumi and octopus santorini arrived dried out, the sign of having been pre-cooked and later heated up. The waitstaff were maxed out. And the decibel level was over the top. In this way, a much anticipated meal was ruined. Now that the weather is warming up, the most enjoyable experience is to be had al fresco, on the ample patio. Preferably at lunch time in the glorious sun or a weeknight dinner at dusk.

Over rated
Nice restaurant but quite noisy. Also had to change tables as every time the door opened cold air came rushing in. Drinks expensive with poor pours. Had a variety of dishes, spinach pie was dry, lamb chops stringy, octopus and Brussels sprouts were ok, dip with feta good. Bread served at table was great. Forgot the remainder of dishes as nothing had any wow factor. Pretty pricey, with tax and tip about $200/ couple.
Mostly Enjoyable Birthday Dinner
I only get to D.C. every few years, so I was so happy to finally snag a reservation here for my birthday. The waiter with the French accent was a little snooty, and while I heard him making suggestions to other tables, he made none to my son and I. He then proceeded to scoff at what we ordered - mu teen wanted fries and mostly meat tapas - but seemed to warm up once I ordered an extra plate of tapas, a cocktail, and dessert. All in all, I enjoyed my birthday meal and didn't let him ruin my experience. Everything was delicious, and I'd go back. Oh, and the bread is to die for!!

You don't need Jose Andreas to keep an eye on this place as the staff behave like it's their own business. I've been here literally dozens of times and each time it is magic. My favorite spot is at the bar where the bartenders take extra steps to make you feel welcomed. It's a place where they know your name, as the song goes . Food is consistently delicious and fresh and great value! Bravo Jose Andreas, bravo Zaytinya !!

A server tried to serve us food from another table with full awareness that it was already placed on another table. Unacceptable behavior from this restaurant and I will not recommend based on this premise.
My first time here and it was amazing! This review is long
My first time here and it was amazing! This review is long overdue, but I did visit for Valentine's Day when they were running a tasting menu. The restaurant was busy with tables packed closely together. Even with a reservation, I still had to wait 15-20 minutes for a table to be ready. Our server was attentive and provided us with as much time as we needed to select our dishes from each course. Everything from the small dishes to the entrees were flavorful and delicious. I also appreciated the never-ending pita! Super light and airy but the perfect snack to fill the void in between courses. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but keep in mind the volume levels can be high as it is a large space. There is also a heated patio! Parking is on the street but since it is D.C., nearby garages are also an option.
We came across this wonderful restaurant and was
We came across this wonderful restaurant and was delightfully surprised. The hostess was incredibly accommodating even though we walked in at a peak with all the hustle and bustle. She sat us by a window table in less than 15 minutes. Our waiter Alex R. was kind, professional and very down to earth. We opted for the brunch special for 2. Generous portions, perfectly prepared both in cuisine and presentation. All the employees are A+ including the bus staff! The fluffy hot pita was so good! Coming back again if we ever visit DC in the future.
Fantastic dining experience
This was hands down the best dining experience we've had in Washington DC. Among really great places, this was our favourite one, so much that we went back 3 times while in the city! And we found it in NYC now, too. Best dish we tried was the crispy brussels sprouts, but we just loved the freshly made, light, still warm bread served complimentary. Hummus, baba ganoush, htipiti were our best spreads, but also the dishes like za'atar pide, shish tawook, chicken soup... Honestly, every single thing we tried there was perfectly made. Personnel was very attentive, professional and friendly (every single time we came) which also needs to be mentioned. Definitely recommend this place - if you have a chance to try it out, please do!
Best in DC? Could be…
Out of 9 nights out in DC, this place has the best food & service by far…restores my faith in the places that cater to Gens Y-Z. Excellent in every way.
An "Off" Night?
They were exceptionally busy for vary on a Wednesday evening. We sat outside which led to our food getting cold fairly quickly. Service was nearly non-existent. that waiter took our order then we did not see him until 45-minute later when he asked if we wanted desert. I mentioned that one of our small plates had never been delivered to the table even though I had asked busboys for it twice. He was apologetic and brought the missing food (which was quite good). If this had been my first visit, I'd give it two stars. However, I have been here a half dozen times before. Sometimes hosting international delegations. The previous experiences have all been exceptional, so I'll chalk this up to an "off" night.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
