Unfortunately, the service at this establishment was profoundly disappointing. From start to finish, the bartender was curt and unwelcoming, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere that overshadowed the visit. Regrettably, I cannot envision returning under these circumstances.

Enjoying the central Florida world from our home in PInellas County we found ourselves in Bartow for a night. We ate dinner on a Saturday night at Zest and had a great experience. Our server, Sarah was just the best! Helpful, friendly and professional she delivered our food exactly as we had asked and checked back often to make sure everything was great. I had an amazing hamburger on the best bread I’ve ever had on a burger. Sure would like to know where they get those buns! My wife had the Havana Salad and both of our meals were perfect. Nice selection of draft beer along with any domestic one might want. I think the owner was on the floor making sure everything was right. Don’t miss the chocolate mousse pie. Unbelievable.
Thank you Zest and we are anxious to come back soon.

Classy upscale atmosphere with reasonable prices on amped up menu items that are not only mostly scratch made but large portions that are definitely sharable.

Excellent food, classy upscale atmosphere.
Food portions are generous.

Loved the Reuben Burger and the Cuban Sandwich Burger looked good. Our waitress was prompt, attentive, courteous, and friendly. We ate outside and found it pleasant for a conversation.

Not a bargain but what place is any more?

Actual good real hamburgers and fries. So many franchises try to hamburger these days. This place does it well and without being a franchise. And it's right downtown a few minutes from the house. Good to know.

I’m from out of town and was recommended Zest by two different locals and it did not disappoint! The Steak Frites were so good. I sat at the bar and the bartender knew his stuff and was great to talk to. He made me a couple of drinks and shared his knowledge which was cool. The Smoked Manhattan was AMAZING. The owner is very hands on and I loved chatting with her. Highly recommend, 10 out of 10.

We've eaten at Zest several times and have not yet been disappointed. I had Grove Chicken sandwich which was great! Large breast, cheese, bacon and sauce. Outstanding! Wife had Havana Salad which is her go to. Kettle chips made in house and were nice and warm.
Server was very attentive, almost like a mind reader!
Will definitely continue visiting Zest!
