"zaytinya has wonderful food! but we will not be back because the noise was so loud that we could not talk to each other or, for this matter, the meal could not enjoy. we took the most home. about eating: the hommos, the taramosalata and the tzatziki were all wonderful, some of the best we had everywhere; the broth were cushiony soft and tasty; the flat brot charred eggplant pide was excellent. although not my favorite, the Turkish style pastirma was also very tasty. ah, but the noise! we asked, from our first table, right next to the long, loud bar, but even some distance away, the place was cacophon. I had to make the order because my man's voice is too quiet without hearing screaming. two thirds of the walls are glass; all surfaces are hard. how about tableclothing or blinds on the windows? They need a material for sound absorption! (I noticed that all the couples were sitting next to each other near us, not over each other to probably speak. we had this option however not. the server were all prompt, contemplative, cheerful and accommodating. I hope they don't worry about hearing loss. the wee was also very beautiful, although in average $15/glass, a little expensive. five mezze and two glasses wein, with pointed, up to over a hundred dollars, which, for this eating, I was ready to pay. next time I'll take off."

Gloria
Wonderful food. We ate outside and were warm with the heaters running on a chilly night. The one drawback is the noise level. It was bad outside really bad inside. We were glad to have an outside table. View menu

I’m shocked that this is a Jose Andres restaurant, not at all within his standards. This is the most basic middle eastern food I’ve ever tasted and not something I would expect that for a Jose Andres restaurant.

Delicious as always--especially love the crispy brussels sprouts, tabouleh, and sauteed shrimp. Nice outdoor seating on a fall evening. We explained that we were on a tight timeline with theater tickets, and the servers and kitchen were right on it.

Delicious food and fine service if a bit rushed... Real issue what's the loud something disco like music. It was difficult to hear outside and really detracted from our enjoyment of the delicious food. I'm not sure why the selection of music but I felt that it would keep me from going back to the restaurant because it didn't match the quality of the food. I may be the only one that doesn't like to eat at a fine restaurant with techno music! View menu

The restaurant is beautiful and HUGE. Food was outstanding: fresh, very healthy, super creative, very tasty. Very attentive, efficient, service. Large, inventive menu. My only complaint: We were seated on the top floor against the wall and I literally could not hear the person seated directly across from me at our table for 4. The noise level is off the charts. However, I'd eat there again in a heartbeat given the quality of the food, the level of service, and the incredible work that Jose Andres does in this world!

We went after visiting the National Gallery, so we walked up and had an early reservation at 5 p.m. It is a large restaurant with probably over 100 tables in different sections, mostly empty at the time. By 5:30, it was happening, pretty noisy. A surprisingly large number of suits and ties, probably a lot of lobbyists. All seats at the bar were taken. I would guess 3/4 of the restaurant was filled and they were lining up to get it on a Thursday night. We ordered six Greek styled appetizers that were served two at a time, interesting preparations, nicely paced, plus a $64 bottle of Greek wine. All of the good sized apps were very good or excellent, as was the service, even with the large earl...
