Zaytinia impressed on all fronts. The chef's talent shines through in every dish - expect inventive flavor combinations that really work. Each plate was a delightful surprise, showcasing quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The staff struck a perfect balance - attentive and knowledgeable, yet warm and unpretentious. Their familiarity with the menu enhanced our dining experience. The ambiance is equally inviting - elegant without being stuffy. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably linger over a excellent meal and good conversation. Zaytinia offers a top-notch dining experience that's worth seeking out. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself evening, it doesn't disappoint. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their menu.

Food is good, a bit on the expensive side, but very large portions!

Delicious food but perhaps slightly over seasoned. Wife had steak fritas (?) and I had trout Parmesan. Generous portion of fish, steak less so but huge, too large portion of fries with her steak. Reservations are hard to get for peak times unless you book early. We enjoyed our meal and would go back again.

This restaurant is amazing! The food was delicious, a true southern restaurant. The southern fried chicken was perfectly seasoned, mashed potatoes were the right consistency & the buttermilk biscuit melts in your mouth. We can't wait to visit DC again!

Daivd was an excellent server and we were so glad we went with his suggestion of the BLT. The one comment I would make is that the music needs to be turned down as the crowd noise became greater.
