10Best Says

Named for the Turkish word for olive oil, Zaytinya is one of several beloved Jose Andres restaurants in the district. Patrons will discover a bevy of spreads, soups, salads, flatbreads and mezze options to devour. Served in small plate style, you'll find delicious dishes throughout the entire Greek, Turkish and Lebanese focused menu. The chef's tasting menu is also a delicious option for those who want concept chef Michael Costas's favorite picks for a fixed price. If it's a nice day, grab a table outside on their patio which seats 70 guests. METRO: Gallery Place/Chinatown
