We had dinner at Zaytinya Las Vegas June 8, 2025 for restaurant week. It was absolutely fantastic! (I'm just now reviewing as we were caught up in the mayhem after the 2 people were shot outside of the Bellagio and it slipped my mind until we returned home).
First off, $60 a person for 4 courses, that was a great deal. We started with Hommus and dolmades, both were just excellent. The 2nd course we had the smoked beet salad and Horta salata, again, very authentic and very delicious. Our 3rd course was Beef Soutzoukakia and Shish Taouk, and they were outstanding! We were both over the moon with the toum, only garlic, lemon juice, water and oil?? It was divine! To finish with the olive oil cake was sublime.
Our wait staff was amazing. Bianca was so knowledgeable about the menu and wine choices. We discussed our choices and she was spot on! With the grand opening only a few days prior and a busy night, they handled the night expertly. She was so helpful with the menu, also answered our questions about opening a new restaurant. She was just delightful and made it a very lovely evening.
Another shoutout deserves to go to Damian. The entire night, he was super attentive, checking on us, clearing plates, bringing bread. Meanwhile, he was hustling to set tables, cleaning up, it was very impressive to witness! Not only can you tell he cared, but that young man will be a reliable, conscientious, friendly and very valuable member of the team.
We dined at many places for restaurant week, and this tied for first place! Wonderful all around evenin, with special thanks to Bianca, Damian, and the chefs. Can't wait to return next time we're in Vegas!
