Tom greeted us warmly and offered us chairs at the table next to us for our winter coats. Our waiter was attentive, the drinks were delicious, the food was superb. The eggplant and zucchini chips (including tzatziki and cheese) were the best! Enough for 2 tables of patrons!! The tuna was “melt-in-your-mouth” perfection. The crab cakes were just lump crabmeat—no peppers (which often make me queezy) and very little filler; just enough to hold their form. Desserts (baklava cheese cake and chocolate mousse) were just decadently delicious. No music Saturday night (we were there from 7:00-9:30) made it easy to hear and be heard and although background music is nice, we can't deal with loud. It was perfect

Zesty Nest was excellent shareable appetizer. All our entrees: Crab cakes, seared tuna, and moussaka were delicious - with moussaka portion too large for one person to finish.

What an awesome way to spend New Year's Eve! Food, service and entertainment was spectacular! Owner is so Friendly and appreciative to Guests! Ambiance great with the dim lighting, huge fish tanks and church pews for seating! The band was great and the crowd was really into it! Will definitely be back!

All of us are presented with 2 options. Philly winter (cold, sad, minimal amount of fish in aquariums) OR walk the threshold of Zesty's and get to feel like a princess in a summer villa (amazing, delicious, has atleast 2 really big fish in an aquarium) Choose wisely.

If you're looking to wait 90+ minutes from the time you order your entree to when you get served, this is the place for you! What a shame because they have very good food, nice servers (they apologize a lot) and we enjoyed great entertainment! That said, when you book for 7:15, and the music starts at 8pm, you're not expecting to get your meal at 9:30! We ordered around 7:45. Booked online a few days out and they had every time open for a Friday - I checked the same day and they still had every time open so clearly, they don't know how to manage reservations, nor serve a full house of diners. Sadly, this ruined what could have been a great time and a potential customer returning. Despite all the server apologies, never did a manager type person swing by, apologize or offer the slightest compensation, such as throwing in two $12 desserts. We ordered an appetizer, bottle of wine, our entrees, of course, and in the end with tax and tip spent about $180 for 2 people. It matters not how good the food, music or wine was when you cannot handle the basics. I have no intention to return. If I must see a musician, I'll have dinner elsewhere then stop in just for the music and sit at the bar. While they say this isn't the norm, then they should have done ANYTHING to show they truly screwed up.

Undercooked food, horrible service, periodically blasts music at very loud hours well into 2am, as we live close by. Inconsiderate of neighborhood.

We stopped here Friday evening for a nightcap and wound up returning Saturday for dinner, which ended in an evening of delicious libations, food, and conversation. Tommy, Bobby & Trish made us feel like family. Thank you all for the most memorable experience at a restaurant we’ve ever had. Not only is everything absolutely exceptional, the added benefit is the hometown feel everyone extends to you. We will definitely be back in the future!
Katie was my server. She was fantastic. Had a great time there and will be returning

Lam was great, but mussels were not recommending. Some of the mussels had foul smell. It was masking by the seasonings.

Best service - the owner greets everyone and is deeply invested in ensuring a memorable meal experience in his restaurant. The server was perfect, the drinks were perfect, and the food was perfect - my only issue was that the music was so loud I couldn't have a conversation.

Calamari, and Octopus salad were delicious. As usual, this restaurant never fails to deliver gorgeous food displays complimented by an amazing taste.
To add to enjoyment, on Saturdays live Greek music brings everything together.
If you are a lover or wish to experience Greek wines or beers this is awesome spot as well.
