   Love Zaytinya but would never want to sit indoors. The noise level is unbearable. Please improve your acoustics. Your staff is fantastic as is your food.

   A totally wonderful experience, and made so much better with the terrific recommendations from our server, and the Turkish Chocolate Cake is a “must try”

   We enjoyed the food. It was busy, service was a little slow as we waited about 10 min before our waitress came to the table. The pita is delicious and because we were staving we ate the first basket as soon as it hit the table. Unfortunately they were a little backed up on the bread so after the hummus came there was a substantial wait again. After that service picked up and the rest of the meal was well-timed. We had lamb, chicken, salmon, grape leaves, red pepper spread and hummus. All delicious, the meat very tender and flavorful.

   Restaurant is stylish and looks nice though the seating is a little cramped. Between being densely seated and having a lot of hard surfaces, it was noisy even though it wasn't that full. Service was helpful though not overly attentive. I told Open Table that this was our anniversary but there was no recognition of that. Food was really excellent. Babagounush was the only thing that wasn't memorable and it was quite good. Brussels sprouts, salmon, haloumi pide, and Santorini Octopus were all really good. It was around $80 for lunch for two before tip and before my InKind discount.

   The restaurant ran out of 2 out of the 3 requested beers. Servers did not practice proper food sanitation. Server stuck his thumb inside my soup bowl. Saw another server loading dirty dishes onto the same tray that was holding food to be served to another table. Disgusting.

   I have been coming for years when I visit DC and always love it. The food was just OK. Not bad at all - not great. Just sort of fine.
