Zeytuna (59 Maiden Lane)

I know there are a lot of complaints about delivery but, if I may, I'd like to share a little observation. You see, whenever a delivery arrives, my 4 pound chihuahua races at maniac speeds to catch up with my order as I carry it into my room, and mostly by dashing through the hall, past the door and jumping in the split second that measures her nose to her tail, up onto the wing-back chair so taht she can make it succesfully onto the still higher bed, where I admit I enjoy noshing all my weekend treats despite having so much work to do on my laptop. It's part of a two-step process for her mostly. First arm-chair and then the bed...and voila, FOOD. I mostly watch to see if she'll actually make it - because 2 out of every 15 race-to-leaps-to-communal dishtime, she actually misses. It sounds like a thud. But it feels a lot worse...kind of like opening the bag and finding fried onions or soemthing equally hideous that dogs simply cannot eat. But happily, 13/15 times, she is my favorite little Mexican princess, barking her little "arribaaa-arriba-oh-God-Mummy-got-me-gonna-steal-dem-tortillas!!" The reason I am sharing this little story is because I noticed the same statistic with the arrival and delivery of orders from just about every restuarant on Seamless. You got your 2 hueves out of 15 and you got your 13 happy grandes. The only difference is there are very few that will very graciously offer to fix a problem with hte order the way that Zeytuna's management does ona consistent basis, if there is ANY order that was not 100%. And I can't help but remark that that TOO is just too coincidental with the same enthusiasm as my precious little chips-monster will happily try again whenever the two-step leap calls for a re-repeat ...right away, immediately! Right , Delilah? She says: "Woof and Sangrias, kid. Gimme more fries." :))

It is so bad at zeytuna. They DO NoT come in "15-20 mins". Hell no... More like 1 hr, then you call and they are rude and put you on hold and maybe in 1.5 hours you might get to eat. So lame.

I cannot say enough good things about Zeytuna. Not exactly a fancy restaurant--a salad bar/deli with a few grocery items! All the food I've ordered from Zeytuna has always been fresh & delicious--generous portions. Prompt, courteous deliveries.

Used to be very reliable and prompt. Lately, they don't seem to care about providing even a basic level of customer service. Too bad. No more orders for Zeytuna.

Zeytuna is my favorite grocer- their staff is the friendliest I've seen and food is made from the best ingredients.

Zeytuna is my favorite place to order from. They always come lightening fast (often BEFORE the estimated delivery time), fresh quality ingredients and always exactly the way I ordered it, AND the cheapest Ben & Jerry's pints on Seamless Web! Also, so convenient that you can order some groceries at the same time.

Ordered prosciutto for a party and it was very discolored and old looking. Not fresh.

I ordered a medium pizza with mushrooms. It was delivered in about 40 minutes (not bad), but was cold as the delivery was not made in an insulated carrier to my office. It was only a couple of blocks away so I'm not going to count on their food being hot when it gets to me. Too bad. The price was good, but I guess you get what you pay for, don't you?

Their food is great BUT I have never had a delivery with all of the things that I ordered or and yet every other order comes with with different food that I have to send back. Sometimes when you call about the mistake, they're friendly most times they are not. The manager gets extremely argumentative and is just plain rude. Beware.

everyone complained about the delivery, so I opted for pickup. This worked against me, because somehow my order was taken out of the store by the delivery guy. The manager on duty had to explain this to me. while I waited and waited (about 3 minutes) I decided I should upgrade my dessert, the cinnamon rolls didn't look like something from cinnabun, but rather your traditional flaky pastry. I was in the mood for something soft to sink my teeth in. the panini was fantabulous. I was very happy with the food. I was upset that I had to wait in total 10-15 minutes in total to get my order, because the manager had to be involved in all parts of my order. Maybe next time I'll skip the seamless part, because it was worse than ordering in the store. Maybe in another month or so, they'll figure out the pickup process. until then i'll just order there. The pesto chicken panini was just heavenly.

Painfully slow delivery; called to ask where my food was and was told "he's a block away." 15 minutes later, I called to see what the hold up was, and the manager was rude. This is a fine grocery store, but asking for delivery isn't worth the trouble..or the wait.

Ordered a tuna melt with extra cheese this morning. Delivery window was stated as 15-30 minutes. After 1 hour, I received a cold (ungrilled) soggy (from rain) tuna sandwich with no extra cheese. GROSS! I put it in my companie's toaster and it was still gross! TERRIBLE DELIVERY
