   Outside under the tent was comfortable and quieter and calmer than inside. The small plate options are extensive and delicious. Our server didn't rush us to order, which was perfect.

   I had a somewhat disappointing experience at Zaytanya yesterday. Firstly, the lady who seated us wasn't very accommodating. We requested a booth but were placed at a table directly in the sunlight, which was quite uncomfortable. When we asked if the blinds could be closed, we were told they were broken. Additionally, when we requested to move to a nearby booth, the staff declined, and their response was not particularly friendly. I also had an interaction with the bartender that was less than pleasant. I wanted to try a cocktail made with Lebanese liquor and approached her with my request after she finished serving others. Unfortunately, she was dismissive and seemed uninterested in helping me. While I understand she might have been busy, her attitude was off-putting. Overall, we opted for the tasting experience, and I would say it was average.

   For close to 20 years now one of my favorite restaurants in DC. Consistently amazing food, drinks (here’s looking at you Mediterranean G&T), and service. We sat outside and I was concerned about it being too warm but with umbrellas, a nice tree, and a breeze it was lovely. And don’t miss the chocolate lava style cake for dessert.

   Bright, cheerful, great vibes . The Jose Andres restaurant serves good dishes from Greece, Turkey & Lebanon, my family of 4 ordered a total of 9 tapas dishes & we liked most of them 😋 The HOMMUS, BABA GHANNOUGE were great dip for the bread , while Octopus, Seared Salmon , seabass & both the chicken & beef kebab were delicious.

   We came here with my daughter for father's day on Saturday afternoon. We sat outside and it felt wonderful. The ambiance and food selection was great so was the drinks, especially the 3pm Istanbul!
