"When José Andrés isn’t busy trying to save the world, he’s opening restaurants like Zaytinya (a DC import) in the Ritz-Carlton. The spacious setting, with its blue and white accents and indoor trees, will make you feel like you’re at a seaside resort, even if it's the dead of winter. Start with the soujouk pide topped with a 65-degree egg, then prioritize the seafood mezze like the smoky grilled octopus and chilled, sweet shrimp in a creamy mustard sauce." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
