“Just had a delicious brunch here! Passed through Bowling Green on the way to Naples and can highly recommend stopping here to eat. Our server was very friendly and helped us (confused Brits!) with the menu.“

“Out-of-towner happy to have landed at Zest for a late, Sunday afternoon lunch on a day trip to tour Bartow's interesting Wonder House, with quick, unplanned visits to the L.B. Brown House Museum and the Bartow History Center. Located on a side street a couple of blocks from the old town square Zest has a quiet, unassuming appearance with off-street parking and an outside, covered dining patio. Inside seating includes booths, tables and the bar in a large, high-ceilinged, sort of dimly lit dining area with a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Our server Regan, (I think was her name) was efficient, and attentive and just right friendly. Our food - we both had fish and chips with cole slaw - was excellent - the slaw was good - chunky cut with vinegar-based dressing rather than mayo-based, medium cut fries and the fish were very good - tender and crisp (the fish lightly battered). Definitely would be a repeat customer if I was a local. Planning to return to Bartow for a scheduled tour of the L.B. Brown House and to explore more of the History Center and it will be hard to decide whether to try a different restaurant or to return here where we really enjoyed the service, the meal and the space.“

“I ordered 4 dishes. The salad was priced reasonable at $8 and looked fantastic but upon tasting, I think it lacked a signature dressing taste. I couldnt finish it because of its lack of appeal. 2.5/5

The wings were cooked well, tasted good and had crunch to the skin, and were plentiful... making this appetizer dish 5/5.

Soup was a bit bland considering it had a noticeable variety if contents... I didn't try and salt it perhaps I could have tried that. It was a small portion but overall wasn't bad it just wasn't great. 4/5

Chips and fish dip. Interesting dip choice. A bit salty for my liking which made it hard to indulge in. As one single eater unlike other dips I've had, I couldnt finish it. This dish would be best for a large group where everyone has a couple of chips each. 3/5

Atmosphere of the place was very good. Lots of natural lighting. Deer off in the distance was a nice touch lol. Overall not a bad place if your here I'm not exactly sure if it's worth driving an hour for but I could be wrong.“

“Delicious food. Gotta go another day for the Alfredo. We had burgers, fried chicken, chicken salad, fried pork chop and fried green tomatoes. Scratch made is delicious!“
