   One of the most fun places to eat in DC. Fantastic food, beautiful decor and a great atmosphere. You don’t notice the service, which shows their professionalism. Book ahead as it gets packed!

   Zantinya did not disappoint, from the beginning to the end the meal was executed with great care and delicious food. Our server Elisabeth was outstanding, and we will be back again.

   The food was good but not good enough to accept the terrible service, crowded tables on top of each other, and poor value. We took my mother-in-law out for her 75th birthday and we were seated at a table against the back wall squeezed in amongst others. The servers rarely came by, were late with the 1st wine pairing, really late with the 2nd course wine pairing (came at the end of the course), and the server only checked on our table once. We flagged down other servers to help us when we needed something. Then we got the tiniest food portions. For example, their lava cake looks like a single serve but we were expected to split it 3 ways. Well, had it just been my husband and I... we would have this very same teeny tiny dessert to share. But we had 3 people and now this same teeny tiny dessert meant for 2 people gets split 3 ways. In other words, don't go with an odd number of people because they cheat you out of food. Really disappointing. I sent this feedback to the manager and his response was that they would "wow" us when we returned. Why couldn't we be "wow"ed our first time? Why would I return when you essentially cheated us out of the 3rd person's portion but charged us the full fee? I guess they really need the money. Why on earth would we ever trust this place to go back? Absolutely not.

   Food outstanding, service on point. The table ordered the family style menu-$85 pp. Definitely worth it! Always a good bet for a group dinner! Reservations are always a challenge, but when you can get a table, worth it.
