a month agoWe celebrated my wife's birthday here in August. We ordered the Chef's Tasting menu. Everything was So Delicious and cooked to perfection. The fried calamari was amazing. The Octopus was beyond Words. Our server did an incredible job with our service. He was very knowledgeable about Jose Andres and his passion for cooking. We highly recommend this Food Experience.

a month agoZaytinya by Josรฉ Andrรฉs is a culinary gem! From the moment you step in, the ambiance is warm and inviting with a modern Mediterranean vibe. The service is top-notch, with attentive staff ready to guide you through the impressive menu. I highly recommend trying the lamb dishes โ perfectly cooked and seasoned. The mezze selections are fantastic for sharing, and the pita bread is warm and fresh. Donโt miss out on their octopus dish, itโs tender and bursting with flavor! Pair your meal with one of their unique cocktails or a selection from their excellent wine list. Whether you're dining with a group or having an intimate dinner, Zaytinya offers an unforgettable experience. Definitely worth visiting if youโre in the area!

3 months agoHad a great experience. They were very heavy on the salt, the pastrami flat bread was like licking a salt block, but everything else was fantastic. I went with the Cabernet from Greece and it was incredibly dry, and in a very good way. Absolutely loved the bread and the zucchini pancakes. The mushrooms with dates had a delicious bacon flavor and the Brussels sprouts were over cooked but good. The fries are fries, they were oily and crunchy which I like. Absolutely worth eating at.

a month agoWe went here for our anniversary dinner. The food and service were amazing. I didn't love the first cocktail that was recommended, but our server was quick to swap it out. The food was quick and phenomenal, and the service was just as good. I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we will definitely come back!

3 months agoWe had their cookbook tasting menu. The food was pretty good, but not the best Mediterranean food we have ever had. We liked their Brussels sprouts, roasted asparagus, and lamb. Found their Turkish coffee cake very interesting. Got to say their complimentary bread and olive oil was yummy. Very nice ambience. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about their food. You can try this place a couple of times but I doubt I would go here regularly.
