Excellent views of the city throughout the dining area. Exceptional attention to detail in the appetizer, entree, and dessert portions of the meal. Friendly and prompt service. Will definitely go back again.

Recently booked a table for 5 for a birthday, which was noted on the res. Arrived a few minutes early and waited about 15 minutes past the res time to be seated. Was taken to a small room right off the entrance with no view and what seemed like no heat. We immediately went back to the hostess to request a warmer table and were told there weren't any. Meanwhile another party of 6 came in and was seated in the warmer part of the restaurant. Messaged the restaurant in the opentable app to let them know our displeasure, specifically since this is a rooftop establishment, the view is part of the experience and people in my party were cold. It also wasn't noted in the app that the seating would but be on the main part of the restaurant, like so many other bookings will note. We resigned ourselves to a less then ideal situation and proceeded to order drinks. The waitress was excellent and service throughout the night was spot on. After our drinks arrived management offered us two small round tables pulled together in the main part of the restaurant, which we declined since we were already seated and settled in. We then ordered apps. Highly recommend the roasted chickpeas, they are always amazing, unlike any we've had elsewhere. After our apps arrived management informed us they would be comped and offered another regular table which we also declined as it would just be awkward to move at this point in time. And while appreciated, actually brought the less the ideal situation back into the conversation again. Our mains arrived and everything was as expected. The pork chop and braised rib were excellent, with the mahi mahi was well received by one but not by another. The lobster mac, which is an app but was ordered as a main, was also fairly good. So overall just an ok experience this time, noting management did try to remediate. If the single larger table had been offered immediately or if we had been informed that if we waited longer before seating us it would hav

Our reservation was at 5pm and we were seated at a table in the corner overlooking Bethlehem. Wonderful seating and we couldn't have asked for a more attentive server. As always, food was excellent. Zest had selections for one in our party who was gluten and lactose intolerant. By the time we left, the restaurant was packed! Good to get there early!

Sat at the bar for drinks and appetizers - the drinks were awesome and the appetizers (empanadas) were delicious! Then went to our table for dinner - we had filet mignon and pork chop (both cooked to perfection). Topped it off with crème brûlée for dessert. Zest never disappoints!

We had 4 of us; and order a bottle wine and 2 cocktails. We got the wine first and had to wait for another 5 mins afterwards to get the drinks when the waiter came to check (Johnny). He went to grab them. There was 2 steaks ordered, and both were overcooked. We did not send back as it would be more time away from dining with our guests. As you all don't have many “entrees” on the menu you need to be able to perfect them. Your appetizers are amazing though.

Great place to have dinner and since it is connected to a parking garage and even better choice, especially when its raining cats and dogs! The team taking care of us last night (Team G) was fantastic! Food was excellent too.

We visited for brunch on 10/26, We ordered the cheesesteak empanadas as an appetizer and were underwhelmed due to the lack of meat inside. Our breakfast burger was ordered medium and was served rare/raw. We had to send the burger back to be remade as it was grossly undercooked. The monte cristo sandwich was mushy and eggy so overall we could assume the food was rushed to be put out and not cooked properly.
We requested to have a discount taken off the total bill due to having to wait for our entree to be remade and they denied our request. Terrible food, terrible customer service. Will not be returning.

Food was excellent, when we received it all. Service was very good other than we weren't told the specials for the nite. I could have done without the camera man filming marketing clips. The manager kept walking the floor looking at tables, but at no time did he talk to any customers. Staff gathered in clusters chatting in plain view.
Brandon
We had a lovely time, the food is excellent and the ambiance is very nice and elegant. The service was a bit slow.
Not sure if the head chef changed or not but the food was not as good as it was when we dined here on Mother's Day of 2024. We had the short ribs which were salty and the salmon which undercooked and had to be recooked and the flavor was not that good
Kathleen
I wanted to love it. Service, cocktails and atmosphere were perfect, however, food near average at best. Fish way overcooked 2x, pasta vodka was more like a marinara. Mushrooms very good add to a less than ideal meal. Will give it another shot if purely for service and drinks.
Gary
Zest has a nice, upscale ambiance and great views. The service is good. The food is decent, but could be better for the prices.

Zest never disappoints. Hannah was phenomenal. I tried the ribeye burger and it was really good.

First time here with my wife and another couple. We all enjoyed our food. Some dishes creative and well executed. We had two Mahi Mahi dinners. My fish was slightly over cooked and a little dry. Our server, Deanna, was Excellent. The entire staff was: youthful, welcoming and eager to provide excellent seri.
