Zaytinya – Mediterranean
Bathed in airy, sun-drenched whites, this bustling Mediterranean oasis captures the vibrant spirit of a coastal marketplace where the air is fragrant with wood-fired breads and bright citrus. Small plates arrive in a rhythmic parade of colors, from the smoky char of grilled octopus to silky, herb-flecked spreads that invite guests to linger over shared carafes of wine and the lively hum of conversation
