180 El Camino Real Suite EE1400, Palo Alto, CA 94304 · Mediterranean restaurant, Bar, Greek restaurant · Palo Alto

Beautiful mezze-focused Mediterranean spot with standout bread, brussels, and cocktails; mains and service consistency lag and pricing is high.

The verdict

Zaytinya delivers polished Mediterranean dining anchored by excellent bread and spreads and a striking, lively room that makes it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants. However, inconsistent execution on mains and timing prevents grade A-level performance, and small portions at premium prices temper the overall value proposition. Best approached as a mezze-focused destination where thoughtful curation yields strong results.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($25+ mains and several $65-85 items) which may surprise casual diners
