"zaytinya has wonderful food! but we will not be back because the noise was so loud that we could not talk to each other or, for this matter, the meal could not enjoy. we took the most home. about eating: the hommos, the taramosalata and the tzatziki were all wonderful, some of the best we had everywhere; the broth were cushiony soft and tasty; the flat brot charred eggplant pide was excellent. although not my favorite, the Turkish style pastirma was also very tasty. ah, but the noise! we asked, from our first table, right next to the long, loud bar, but even some distance away, the place was cacophon. I had to make the order because my man's voice is too quiet without hearing screaming. two thirds of the walls are glass; all surfaces are hard. how about tableclothing or blinds on the windows? They need a material for sound absorption! (I noticed that all the couples were sitting next to each other near us, not over each other to probably speak. we had this option however not. the server were all prompt, contemplative, cheerful and accommodating. I hope they don't worry about hearing loss. the wee was also very beautiful, although in average $15/glass, a little expensive. five mezze and two glasses wein, with pointed, up to over a hundred dollars, which, for this eating, I was ready to pay. next time I'll take off."
