“First time at Zesti, for my birthday and we will be back as a regular in the rotation for sure. The menu is diverse and nicely different than other restaurants. A great choice of pastas, salads, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, pizza and deserts. Full choice of beverages with a great wine list and a surprisingly inexpensive evening! Also, Brandon was our server and did a great job explaining dishes and taking care of us in a very casual, friendly way. Thanks Chef Feker and crew!“

I've literally never had a bad offering there and I've had almost everything. The servers are also spot on. Go there!“

“My partner and I were on an overnight to the Milwaukee area and stopped in here for breakfast. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The restaurant layout was open and airy. We were greeted and seated promptly, and coffee and water appeared before we even had a chance to ask for it. We ordered our meals, and to our surprise our food arrives within minutes, even on a busy weekend morning. The food was delicious, and the server brought us some sort of cinnamon cake that was also amazing.
We don't travel through that area often, but Maxim's is now our go-to spot!“

“Cute hidden away lunch spot. Authentic antiques. We tried a variety of sandwiches and beer cheese soup. Jack's Favorite was ours of choice. You have to come here just for the ambience. Support small business and historic properties!“

“Liena was an amazing server and gave genuine reviews of our questions regarding multiple menu items. She had an awesome energy from start to finish and was super accommodating to all our request. Would definitely request her as our server on our next visit.“

From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!“
