   We got the smallest pours of wine, even after bringing it to the attention of management. And highly priced pours at that. Some of the food wasn’t what it was at Zaytinya in NYC.

   Wonderful service and excellent attention to food allergies. My friend could not eat tomatoes and kitchen was very good at accommodating. Food all thoughtfully prepared.

   Wonderful med food overlooking the pool. Kind warm service. Simple yet creative and delicious food. Great spot for all occasions. Full bar / extensive cocktail menu also helps!

   Food was excellent as usual. We also enjoy this restaurant in Washington DC. Our server, Aidan, did a fantastic job and made us feel special. The entire service team did a great job.

   Was looking forward to a great mediterranean dinner here based on finding it on Eater. It was a chilly evening but when we arrived the inside was so cold we asked to sit outside and found it to still be freezing. Our waiter Luis arrived and you think it might have killed him to smile. He was aloof the entire meal. Biggest disappointment were the dolmades out of a can they served. I have been to alot of restaurants and always give them the benefit of the doubt with dolmades but in a place like this I would have never expected jazzed up canned ones. If you know you know about these they all taste same with a little doctoring up to make them seems homemade. I have made these so many times and these were not. Food was ok, I wouldn't go back.

   Great location to enjoy small plates. Only concern is that outdoor seating is located next to pool so there is a possibility of a noisy dining experience. Luckily, when I went it was very peaceful and great experience.

    We were excited to try this restaurant as Open Table gave it a very good review. We were disappointed. The food was bland. It had no taste. The service was excellent and so was the presentation. The interior had been redone and you could see there were areas that were skipped. The ceiling needs to be redone . When we called regarding parking we were told they validated the parking ticket. That wasn't exactly true. It was a partial validation and we were not told this.
