Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Fulton

First time here. Ordered the chicken pot pie. It looked exactly as the photo on the website (sometimes the food doesn't come close to the pictures on the website). It tasted very good and the crust was just right. My friends had the ahi tuna salad which they loved. One also had the key lime pie which they also loved. They ate every morsel. And French press coffee right at the table. The food was reasonably priced and the menu was not overwhelming with too much choice. I rated my food a 4 out of 5. I reserve a 5 for food that blows me away. I.e. while chicken pot pie is not usually the kind of food that would blow you away, was it the best chicken pot pie I had ever had? No, but it is second best. It was meaty, the crust was perfect. What set this restaurant apart is the service. It was excellent from beginning (with the hostess) to the end (with our waiter). I was the first to arrive of my party and they seated me right away where I wanted to sit and started taking my order. I decided to order an appetizer such that when my friends arrived, there would be something for them to eat when they arrived. No problem. None of this we can't seat you until your entire party arrives. We never wanted for anything. There was live jazz music and a fireplace (which we were lucky enough to be seated close to) which made for a wonderful ambiance. All in all, a great place to eat. I would return.

Had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant. Best dinner I've had in DC. Allison was my server, and she is a gem. My wife has Celiac, and she went above and beyond to accommodate her allergy. Will be back when I'm in town again.

Enjoyed quick service on time for my reservation. Bread service and water almost immediately. I ordered two drinks and felt great about ordering Scallops as suggested by my waiter. Awesome food and service.

Waitstaff was very friendly and attenttive… the food with a southern twist was very enjoyable… As an old renovated bank, the ambiance strong… Very pleasant… Our only hiccup - some of the group needed separate checks (public employees)… we had some challenges solving that problem at the end of the meal…

Excellent experience, as always. We look forward to dining at Zaytinya. It's one of our favorite restaurants in DC.
