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.

Always love going to Jaleo when I’m in DC. Can’t resist the tomato bread! Scallops were amazing - also loved sugar snap peas. The menu is very broad with lots of great options. Our server was great

Our server Autumn was wonderful. She gave us amazing suggestions for dinner, and she was very friendly and attentive. All of the staff seemed really great and seemed to have a great team atmosphere. Portions were huge so value was great. We dined on the patio so I don’t know what the noise level was in the restaurant. They had incense burning outside which adds to the experience and I think also may help keep bugs away? Overall great experience!

We tried this place while traveling and was very pleased with our choice. The food selection is varied so you can satisfy several people in a larger group. One person in our party got the Pub Burger, modified slightly on the recommendation of our server and it was outstanding. Another got the Pot Pie and it was incredible. Everything was served quickly and hot by friendly servers. We will return to try some of the decadent desserts.

Amazing service. Great food. Perfect Bar Beverages. We sat outside on a beautiful Sept. day. Can't wait to come back.
