Restaurants near Gallery Place - Chinatown Metro Station

We were seated fairly quickly, then made our choices for what to eat. Every bite we had was delicious! Our favorites were the tomato and white beans dish and the endive dish. Service was quick enough that we were able to get dessert before the Capitals game and the Flan was so unexpectedly delicious! We've never had better!

Excellent breakfast overall. Friendly, professional service in a nice, informal setting. We had the two egg breakfast. Scrambled eggs with cheese was more like an omelette, which was perfect. Good biscuit with excellent strawberry jam. Hash browns were very good but not very hot. The sausages (both pork and chicken) were literally the weak links-- dry and mealy and just not very tasty. So go for the bacon. We would definitely go back the next time we are in DC.

Waiter took his time even though there were very few customers at 415. I ask for port wine and the waiter ask me if I knew it was only a small portion. Like I don't know about wine. I asked for Port so I obviously new. My friend was new and just had surgery and asked if there was any shredded chicken. The waiter literally turned up his nose and said no with disdain in his voice and face. I felt like he thought we were not of the class to be eatting there. I don't think I will be going back

This was my first time back in over four years, and it’s just as good as I remember! The torta with brisket (on the brunch menu) was excellent.

Amazing food, service and ambiance. Zaytina is always a great choice for dinner. Now it’s our new favorite. We had a 5:45pm reservation and we’re seated immediately in a great booth for 2 near the bar. We wanted to order one of the tasting menus but we were told that the two of us couldn’t order just one tasting menu (which looked amazing). That was disappointing, but our waitress recommended a game plan with several dishes that she thought we would enjoy. To start she suggested we select three of the spreads to enjoy with those amazing puffy, paper thin, warm pitas that are served generously throughout the meal. The red pepper and feta dip along with the labneh were both surprisingly delicious! The babganoush wasn’t our favorite next time we’d order the hummus which our waitress recommended. Then the halloumi and cauli with seven spices, yum! The mezze shrimp made the combo surprisingly filling but we still had the eggplant and ground lamb shish kabob. Wow, a lot of food. The eggplant was disappointing because it was fried, I thought it was going to be grilled, but even so, if fried, it needs to be crunchy/crispy, not blondish and mushy. We ordered the eggplant because it was on that tasting menu. They can have one mediocre dish and still get 5 stars on food because the Pilsner beer was divine and so reasonable! One other food related issue for us, was our waitress had recommended a beet salad but it said smoky on the menu, so I was reluctant for us to to try we are not smoke fans but we love beet salads so we caved and she came over to find out how we liked the smoky flavor with the beets. We def need to avoid any future smoke! She immediately took away the beets and later removed them from our bill. Our waitress was having trouble with the next table. Don’t know what was happening because of the energetic vibe everywhere. But our waitresses and her recommendations worked out pretty perfectly for us overall and we made it to our 7:30 performance on time. Bravo!
