Food is good. But their menu is totally unique. They don't have any of the classics. So you'll have a new experience with their food. The dressings for the salad are not very good. There is something lacking, the flavor is almost there but is short coming from being delicious. All their food is fresh? Servers are always busy so make sure you ask them for everything you will need so you won't have to wait a little while until they come around again. Their shop has so many great things! You'll find such beautiful items. Chances are that you will leave with something from their store. Highly recommended!

This restaurant is a favorite for both lunch and dinner. The menu is both healthy and has the feeling of comfort food. The hostess, servers, and cashier are consistently delightful and attentive, and the food is consistently delicious.

Super quaint café that I didn't actually realize was there until a friend took me. It's connected to a cute shop so you don't realize it's there until you go inside. Salad portions were very generous and the price is right!

We were asked if we wanted to dine outside in the enclosed patio. I declined stating it was too cold to eat outside and it was pretty cloudy.
The hostess stated the heaters were on. As soon as we got our drinks the heaters were turned off.
We asked, and so another table, if they were going to be turned back on as it got quite chilly. They said yes and after 25 minutes we asked again and was told "yes" again. It never happened.
I won't be back.

Zest is a great local place for lunch with affordable and interesting options for take out our dine in. The chicken and brie sandwich that changes slightly with the seasons is always delicious. Expect a wait for a table during normal lunch hours, but the gift shop is nice to browse. Staff is friendly and efficient, but just note sometimes food can take a bit long during their peak hours. However once you have their flavored iced teas, you won't mind the wait.

I heard a lot a lot of hype about this restaurant. I don't understand what all the hype was about. My husband and daughter had lunch here yesterday. The bill was 89 dollars. We all had water. I ordered the Brie ,chicken,and jam sandwich with Cole slaw. My husband ordered the house salad with chicken. It was terrible! The chicken on both our meals were not cooked well and cold. The bread on my sandwich was made with white soggy bread. My husband's salad had not veggies and it looked like they just threw a bunch of cold lettuce on his cold chicken. I never leave reviews, but this was a terrible lunch for 89 dollars

The owner and the manager are horrific. We have been going to zest for 20+ years and now the restaurant has gone down hill. The staff are slow, the menu is fine same things for 10+ years but now the nickel and dime you for salad dressing and refills. We went here almost weekly and to be see this please go down hill is awful but we have no choice to no longer visit. Please think twice about going here it’s not the same it once was.
