Zaytinya–An Update

October 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

After my first experience at Zaytinya back in March, I have since gone back and would like to change my opinion of the place.  My biggest problem with Zaytinya this summer was the atmosphere. I went with 4 of my friends, and we had a reservation. The waitress sat us at a HUGE table, probably meant for about 8 people. We sat in a different part of the restaurant than we did the last time, and the acoustics were terrible–I couldn’t hear what anyone was saying at the table. I felt like I was in a warehouse. It was unfortunate.

Onto the food.  I didn’t really like what I had. Everything seemed sort of pedestrian, and I wasn’t really excited by much. Neither were our guests. I stick by what I said the last time–the best part of the meal was the unlimited pitas.

Anyway, I won’t be going back to Zaytinya anytime soon.  I’m changing my original rating of B+ to C+.  I’d rather go almost anywhere else than here.
