Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Haymarket

As always a wonderful dinner with fantastic service from Kendal. We could not have been happier! The food and cocktails were great.

One of our neighborhood favorites Consistently good food and always excellent service

My wife and I loved our visit to Zaytinya in DC! If you’re in downtown, you’ve got to check it out. They specialize in Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish food, and everything is meant to be shared, which makes it even more fun. The flavors were amazing, and the vibe was relaxed but still classy. Definitely try their mezze dishes—they’re so good!

I’d suggest you make a reservation as it was a full house at 2pm on a Thursday. We were greeted promptly by our server and she checked on us regularly. The food came out timely and it was delicious. We each had alcoholic beverages, salads, an entree, cappuccinos and dessert. The bill was about $200 and I felt that was a fair price and worth it.

Annual New Year’s Day tradition to dine here and it doesn’t disappoint!! Great ambiance and fantastic food. They are also extremely careful regarding diners with food allergies. Much appreciated!
