Zaytinya

New York, NY

Restaurant

Sophisticated, yet familiar.

Under the direction of celebrated Chef José Andrés, Zaytinya offers an innovative mezze menu inspired by Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, and Italian cuisines served up in a modern setting. Building on José’s deep knowledge of Mediterranean cooking and years of research and travel, the menu features shared small plates of authentic and innovative fare, creative cocktails, and unique wines.

Rockwell Group’s design for Zaytinya's New York location is sophisticated, yet familiar—imbued with a light and neutral palette of warm bronze metals and white oak woods. Soft curves and a variety of textures transport guests to a modern abstraction of the coast.
