Food was good and the waiter was nice….but he was just god awful slooowwww. By the time I got my second drink we were paying the bill. Frankly at that point I didn’t want it but I gulped it down and left. Shame.

Loved that the menu was a little bit different. Good cocktails and food. Fried green tomatoes app was great. Duck dinner delicious. Really everything was very good. Server was very pleasant and prompt. A bit pricey for a quick dinner, but worth it. We sat outside. It was very nice. Chairs were uncomfortable.

Great food great time great service

If you are looking for a moderately fancy/upscale place to dine this is your place! The outside seating is very nice and the food is fantastic! I highly recommend the Fried Green tomatoes appetizer and the Seared Duck breast entrée. And don't forget the blueberry yuzu crème brulee for dessert!

The service was fabulous, drinks were interesting, and food was seasonal. The portion sizes were appropriate and filling, and the food was prepared with simple ingredients.

My wife and I booked a reservation for our anniversary. We hadn't been to Zest before and had heard the owners also owned one of our other favorite Lehigh Valley haunts, so we thought we would give it a try. The 6th floor balcony overlooking Bethlehem was also a big draw. Initial impression was the restaurant seemed vibrant with hip decor. The front-end staff/hostess was welcoming. BUT, the food was a disappointment. It was just okay. The menu was exciting and the flavors and pairings seemed exciting, but it just did not deliver especially given the price. $21 for a charcuterie of prosciutto that I could have gotten from a local grocery and a small cut of two chesses and burnt toast? Bummer. The crab spring rolls sounded delicious but were soggy inside. Overall would not recommend it.

Loved the music track. Servers very attentive. This is an annual treat for us when in town for Musikfest

We had a delightful birthday brunch. The whole staff was friendly and enthusiastic. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Entrees came out burnt. Cocktails were very good though

Excellent as always food and Service was excellent bestplace in area
