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.

Second time dining. Love the restaurant and have dined in Dallas and Chicago.

Delicious food but perhaps slightly over seasoned. Wife had steak fritas (?) and I had trout Parmesan. Generous portion of fish, steak less so but huge, too large portion of fries with her steak. Reservations are hard to get for peak times unless you book early. We enjoyed our meal and would go back again.

Wasn’t overly busy. We were early to our reservation and they sat us immediately. Service was super attentive and we ate, had dessert and we out in less than an hour. Food was very good and value was appropriate. Would go again!

Daivd was an excellent server and we were so glad we went with his suggestion of the BLT. The one comment I would make is that the music needs to be turned down as the crowd noise became greater.
