Zaytinya - Broad Channel

Tried three brunch dishes. Of them, my favorite is the French Toast. The berries are sweet with minty scents. The glaze over the super-soft toast is impressive. The Naan is also amazing!

I'm a sucker for a place that will pour your soul for you tableside A wonderful new-ish addition to the Flatiron area! I have no idea how they afford their rent but I hope they're here to stay. Cauliflower was great, avgolemono soup was perfect, and their bread is lighter than air perfectly paired with nice olive oil vinegar. They also have excellent espresso. But what really gets me wanting to return is the ambiance. The high ceilings and decor were all just wonderful. Felt like a breath of fresh air coming in from all the commotion of Broadway. I hate restaurants that feel crowded like you can't move for fear of jostling the person next to you (lookin at you Balthazar) and this was the complete opposite. I didn't get the lunch special but it seems like a great deal at 3 courses for $45 or so.

This was such a delicious experience. Our waiter was amazing and gave us such great recommendations. The food was excellent all around. I am still dreaming about the Brussels sprouts and hummus. 10/10

Food was generally above average. Kebab meats were all very juicy and tender. Brussel sprouts were flavorful and crispy. Bread was ok, a little bland. My main issue is the atmosphere. I’m only 30 and even I thought it was too dark, I could barely see the menu. Sound was also pretty tough I could barely hear the people across the table from me. Would not recommend for a nice family dinner or date night.

The hummus is the best I’ve ever had. The $35 lunch special is three course and totally worth it. Also, they have one of the best Gin and Tonics I’ve had in NYC.
