   Bustling but delicious! You wouldn’t have known it was a Monday night by the packed tables and hustling waitstaff. Our party of three enjoyed a fantastic meal sampling the flavors of the Mediterranean. Our hummus was brought to the table so quickly after we’d ordered, it seemed like they’d intuited our plans. Every dish was somehow even better than the last. Felafel, lamb, shrimp, shish taouk - all fabulous! Not to mention the airy, pillowy pitas that never ran out. Service was a bit impersonal, but efficient. We’re already looking forward to our return.

   Noise level loud. Tables very close together. For the price, there should be more room and feeling less rushed to turn tables.

   The price point and quality of food was good, however the service was subpar and the place is not very clean

   We always enjoy Zatinya. It's a nice way to celebrate Easter. The food was very seasonal, and our server was among the best we've had.

   It has been our family tradition to spend Easter Sunday brunch at Zaytinya. It never disappoints. The only thing I wished is that my friend and her family could be at the same table as my family. There would have been 4 of us, and 5 of them, but understandably it would have been difficult to arrange. In the end, we were sat within 50 feet of each other. The food is always delicious, well-presented, and at just the right amount. My favorites are the grilled lamb chops, Adana kebab, Branzino. All the sides are delicious and refreshing! We complemented our meal with ayram and other beverages. The meal is never complete without Turkish coffee and amazing desserts! We shared the yummy Turkish chocolate coffee cake coupled with vanilla ice cream! Thank you for the great service and for always providing my family and friends a special place to meet!

   Had a great time at Easter Brunch. At first the table they places us at, was directly in the sun. We asked to change and they accommodated and were good about it. Service was excellent. Food was excellent.

   The food and service at a Jose Andres did not disappoint on a very busy Easter. The special Brunch mezze were almost uniformly good, except the shrimp, which turned out rather bland and the size of Olive Garden fare. The wine course ( white, rose, and red) was a nice accompaniment but a bit pricey . The noise level and closeness of the tables was not good for conversation or any semblance of privacy. The service was impeccable, however, which made up for some misses in the cuisine and our location.

    First of all we didn’t get outdoor seating inspite of requesting for it. They said waiters won’t serve it outside and it was just 10 pm. Big disappointment on that front. The waiter was unfriendly, never smiled and had a big attitude. I don’t know his name but he was just not listening to us. He was more in hurry to go than to provide a good service with a smile
