The food and the drinks were great. Cool decor very urban and modern looking inside. The chefs create great dishes. I will definitely come back here. The staff are super cool and friendly. I’ll be making my way back here soon.
What a great find! Our server,Debbie, was so nice and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. The food was so inventive and delicious. It was my young niece’s birthday and they really went out of there way to make her night special. This was my second time here and definitely will be going back.
Tried zest for the first time tonight. Wasn’t sure what to expect. My family & I were pleasantly surprised, the food was amazing! A creative menu with lots of choices, everything was delicious! The cauliflower chips - SOOO GOOD! From appetizers to main meal to desserts, everything was delicious. We will be back, I highly recommend it!
Been wanting to try this place. Glad I did. Food was excellent service was pleasant and efficient. I was really surprised there was no one in there on Father’s Day but I attribute that to the fact that the place didn’t really look like it was open and workers cars were parked in the back. People, you are really missing out if you don’t try this place. Food was fresh with a wonderful presentation and was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is spacious, trendy and very clean. 5?s. 2 thumbs up!
I have been wanting to try Zest since it opened 6 months ago. I finally got to go today with a friend and we loved it! Our waiter Ricky took great care of us and helped us navigate the menu. The cherry flavored sangria, the coconut flavored sangria, and the mojito all got a thumbs up from us. The food was also delicious. It is clear the chef cares greatly about taste and presentation. Also, the flan cheesecake was very moist and out of this world. I have to go back and try more!
An inviting restaurant with very tasty food and good service.Food 5/5 - Tasty selection. The Cauliflower toasted chips were fantastic! I'm not a big fan of cauliflower but they taste nothing like it. The dip is great. The PB&J Pulled pork sandwich was messy to eat but delicious. Nice fries. Interesting selections on the menu. They had very interesting sangria selections.Service 4/5 -- Service was good. One waiter. It wasn't busy when we arrived but it got busy while we were there. The waiter started off very attentive but had to spread himself a bit thin as the crowd grew.Atmosphere: 5/5 - Inviting decor, comfortable seating. Nice music. Good HVAC system made atmosphere not cold or hot. Modern feel. Not a huge place but feels good. This used to be a Friendy's ice cream (so you get the sense of size),but it looks nothing like it.Cleanliness 5/5 - Everything seems new and fresh. Restrooms were very clean. No dust in inconspicuous areas. A sure sign of a through cleaning.Parking: 5/5 - Bay shore can be hard to park in. But this place has a very nice private lot. No issues.Value - 5/5 - An appetizer, 2 meals and a soft drink was $49. The caliber of the meal was worth that.Overall - 5/5 -- I've found a new place to add to my "routine." Good service and a bunch of tasty looking choices I've yet to try. The atmosphere makes you want to stay a bit longer I'll be back. No need to hesitate.
The food here was excellent, everything was made fresh. I loved the atmosphere at this restaurant they really try their best to help everyone feel welcomed. They also make great suggestions. My husband and I were please with decor and vibes in here, we will definitely visit again. Tried to take a pic before we ate but we couldn’t resist!
Empty on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant looks like it's trying to fill in a void but in the wrong location. They should probably be in main street. Their graffiti and the logo sign don't exactly mix right. The vibe upon pulling into the parking lot is rather confusing. The service was ok.Food was over-hyped. Smoked wings were just ok, cheese quesadilla was over the top and took away from what a quesadilla should be, stuffed pretzel looked like a dressed up frozen pretzel from ShopRite and salty chili from 7-11. They had a deal where if you ordered two appetizers you get the third half off. Even with that, we wouldn't return. Interior artwork is nice, bathroom extremely clean.
What a GREAT place to eat. An awesome menu with truly great staff, it was our first time here but for sure not our last. Omg the cinco de mayo menu is AMAZING!!!
Wow! Adding this establishment as one of my go to spots. We were biking around and saw this spot and I’m glad I stopped. We had the lamb burger and brisket burger and the were both fantastic. Topped off with their signature Zest beer and life was good.. lol - can’t wait air to go back
