About Zaytinya Nashville
Zaytinya Nashville is an Eastern Mediterranean mezze restaurant in Nashville, with Turkish, Greek, Lebanese influences and a listed price of $65 per person. The clearest reason to choose it is the mezze focus: it makes the most sense when you want a meal built around variety rather than a single main dish per person.
The essentials are direct: Head Chef Cory Seykoski leads the Nashville kitchen, the restaurant is connected to celebrated chef and founder José Andrés. Hours are listed as Sunday–Thursday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Friday–Saturday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with happy hour daily from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Dress code is smart casual.
Book for Eastern Mediterranean mezze
Zaytinya Nashville is best understood as a mezze-focused choice for diners who want variety at the table. It is a strong fit when the priority is sharing and sampling across Turkish, Greek, Lebanese influences.
The trust signal is the team. Zaytinya Nashville has a defined Eastern Mediterranean identity, with Head Chef Cory Seykoski leading the kitchen and José Andrés as celebrated chef and founder. That gives the restaurant a clearer point of view than a generic Mediterranean label.
The value is in ordering broadly
The most practical way to approach the meal is to lean into the variety associated with mezze rather than anchor the table around one entrée per person. Couples can still make the format work, while groups may find it easier to sample across the Eastern Mediterranean focus.
Listed price is $65 per person, so the value depends on whether you want the flexibility and variety of Eastern Mediterranean mezze. The daily 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM happy hour window is also worth noting for diners comparing timing options.
