    Fantastic spot in the heart of the city. A lot of historical spirit. The service is immaculate and I was given an opportunity to be the kitchen’s operation when service slowed down briefly. Finish off every meal with a Hot Toddy and I can almost guarantee you’ll feel smoothed and satisfied. I prefer Angel’s Envy but choose your bourbon accordingly. God bless 🙏🏾.

    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.
