Great Greek, Great Drinks, Great Staff". I don't always have a daily taste for Greek, but when I do, it is to Zeitoon'sI go.At Zeitoon Cafe' & Bistro, the owner Amir has been especially friendly to all that come to his restaurant including my dog. - No, he does not allow pets however, he does have outdoor seating to I can tie up my Jack Russell to the tree or outside the railing where I can tend to him. I started at Zeitoon's by reading his Monday Pasta Special sign. His pasta is about the best you will find in Bell town. This is not some Pasta - Pizza place. This place has food. Real food. Greek food. Food. His meats, pitas, falafel sandwiches, dolmades, sauces and so many other dishes all have a perfection in balance once your taste buds receive it. So delicate and full of flavor at the same time on your palate. Great selection on wines and beers, I prefer a good Heffeweizen and he has them.A quiet restaurant with good food and beverages at 3rd and Vine. Jon Pierre, The Seattle Food Critic.

The best Hummus!!. The best happy hour in town! What can I say? $3 draft, $4 house wines, $3 hummus and falafel. It's a good place to stop by after work and have a beer. I love the atmoshpher, and parking is not that bad, lots of street parking.

Seattle's Best Food & Drinks!. Zeitoon is honestly my favorite spot in all of Seattle! Their food, service and atmosphere is the best combination you can get. Located in a quieter area of Belltown, there is always parking and a great furniture store next door to peruse. The decor is beautiful and hip and the scene varies depeding on the night and what you bring to it.

Required Stop in Seattle!. As a tourist in town, and not sure of where to go, we stumbled across this place and couldn't have been happier. Relaxed, cozy, fantastic food, college hoops on the screen, friendly and fast service. Definite repeat!

MUST try the WRAPS!!. Nice ambiance, friendly professional staff, and great food! Zeitoon is a very cosy, romantic spot to enjoy good food at a reasonable price. Definitely a family owned business where service and relationships seem to matter. I usually have a hard time not going in for at least one meal every time I'm in Seattle! I would like to see Mac and jack's beer, (a Northwest native beer) on tap. they do have Alaskan Amber though!

Tasty menu, wonderful service!. I have visited Zeitoon on many occasions now and have always been pleasantly greeted and serviced. The food is amazing and the ambiance is quite inviting. I highly recommend visiting this new restaurant for their great happy hour or for a romantic dinner. Try their spanakopitas to start and then the scallop entree. Oh--it's SO good!

Most welcoming restaurant in Belltown.... I have frequented Zeitoon and have never had a bad experience. The service is always great (the owners are especially welcoming), the food is cooked to perfection and the prices are very affordable (especially for Belltown). The warm atmosphere makes it a perfect place for a date.

I recommend starting off with the spanakopitas and then moving onto the citrus cream salmon. Before coming here I was not a fan of Mediterranean cuisine, but now I can't stay away from this place.

Owner needs to discuss customer service with the bartender. I've walked by this place literally hundreds of times, and it was almost always dead. Still, seeing that the Mariners were playing on their t.v. and the place was virtually empty (on a Saturday evening), I decided to sit at the bar and have a drink and an appetizer. Apparently the bartender thought otherwise. I sat patiently while the bartendress and waitress alternately lounged, talked with each other, and basically did very little. All of this while the only people in the place were a couple at the bar and one table of three. I finally leaned over and asked if the bar was open, got a snippy 'yes' response, and then she went back to whatever she was doing. I walked out and visited a place nearby that has good service (note to owner: that's a formulaic response in Belltown, where we have many choices).

This is not how a dead new bar grows. I will give it one more try... probably... but I live on the same block as this place, and I can tell you I will have nothing good to say about it to my neighbors, many of whom are curious.

A Priceless Find!. I live in Belltown and one of my favorite parts of living in the area is having so many wonderful restaurants to choose from. Zeitoon, however, has quickly become my favorite staple in the neighborhood. The place has grown and become even better since my boyfriend and I started coming there shortly after it's opening. The food is consistently wonderful and the owners are even better! They are warm, welcoming, and hospitable. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. The prices are also EXTREMELY reasonabe. We are so happy to see that they seem to be doing well and look forward to many more years eating there!
