Absolutely love it awesome peoplegreat service an excellent food an easy on the pockets

Really good vibe, great ambience and great food!! Great customer service, staff was very polite!

This place was great! Just went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon (today) and the food was delicious. Lots of options on the menu, everything we got was tasty. Clean atmosphere, kid friendly but also great for an adult party of however many. Our waitress Deborah was so wonderful. She had a few tables but as busy as she was she made sure we were good, made the we enjoyed our food. Made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 across the board, I recommend giving it a shot! I will def spread the word and be back! Oh and lots of daily deals! On top of the prices being very fair for a great sized serving of food. read more

Everything was fresh of freshest so many choices. Spinach salad absolutely delicious. The gluten-free pizza with chicken very very good.

I needed BBQ catering for a small party of 20 without any frills and Zest was an incredible win. I spoke to Debbie for all the initial details - she was so friendly and knowledgeable. Other BBQ restaurants were complicated, charging astronomical fees for racks, sternos, delivery. Zest was straightforward, affordable, and accommodating. They called me before my event to pick up racks just as a courtesy so I could set them up before my food was delivered. When one was short the driver hurried to pick up an extra at no cost to me. It was just an all around pleasant experience. And when I tell you my food writer and talented cook guests RAVED about this food. It was completely delicious. For simple, easy, DELICIOUS catering you can't beat Zest. read more

First time here tonight and I am absolutely upset I'm just discovering this wonderful establishment. The food was amazing and the staff was very pleasant. The restaurant itself is very chill and friendly. Michelle the owner came to our table to check up on us and we had a wonderful conversation about how Zest came about. 10 out of 10 would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! And kids ate free (that's a huge bonus lol) read more

Great dinner..... always! Lots of choices! Will customize any selection. Great service. Easy on-site parking. Love it! read more

I wish I lived closer to go to this place more often! We've dined there once for lunch (first visit) and after speaking with the catering manager and being impressed with our service during our initial visit, we decided to use them for our son's 1st birthday party. They blew our expectations out of the water on the day of the party. Every one of our guests raved about the service and food. Their portions are large so come hungry! Thank you so much Michelle, Chef Mike, and team. You gave my family an unforgettable experience! Can't wait to come back! read more

The food was amazing. We were made to feel very welcome by our waiter Rick and co owner Michelle. Worth the trip. Definitely going to go again read more

Yes I know it's not right in the middle of Main St. Doesn't matter. It's literally only like 2 minutes further down (I timed it) AND it has its own parking lot. So win win Seriously this place is fabulous! The decor was well thought out so the vibe is so cool! The service was super friendly....and the food? Omg the fooooddddddd! Absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor, GET THE CAULIFLOWER CHIPS! All my misconceptions about cauliflower went out the window. It is amazing!. Everything I tried was exceptionally good and the rollatini with the blueberry onion relish was straight up addictive. Apologies for the lack of pictures, I was definitely busy eating. Also the drinks, especially white sangria were very good. You will not be disappointed! read more

I love Zest, they never disappoint! Awesome variety and the pizzas are outstanding! I live about 30 minutes from Zest and last time I got take out, let me say, everything was still perfectly done, even reheated! The restaurant is fun and the staff are friendly. read more

Love the food here, my partner's vegan and she digs the Beyond Burger so they have some range. Fries are amazing and I would recommend the Panko Chicken sandwich. Good prices and fries actually come with you burger or sandwich which is unfortunately not the norm anymore lol. read more

Great service and the food, just fabulous! Had the shrimp wrapped bacon appetizer that was on a creamy bed of polenta with andouille sausage in a tasty sauce with fried avocado. My starter was a French onion soup that had the best broth I have had in a long time. Highly recommend not just for the food and service, but the decor is worth mentioning. Modern and eclectic like the menu. read more

I can't believe it took me over a year to stop at this place!!!! Went for lunch the other day with my son... he had the wings, which he said were the best he's ever had. I had the salmon burger... which was so good!!! Then a few days later, we decided to order out... and I saw they were available on slice. We ordered another salmon burger, arugula salad, meatball sandwich and wings. There was not a crumb left on anyone's plate.. THIS PLACE IS A GEM!!! 5 stars!!! read more

First Impression and still Impression "Great Food"!. Each time I eat here is always good eats, and o eat here often!

Great food, great service...never disappoints! Food always tastes fresh and they have a great menu!

Not sure what the hype was here. Ate here once and wouldn't go back the food wasn't good at all.

Excellent food freshly made by Chef Mike. The service is impeccable!! I love this restaurant. It's for people of all ages! read more

Wonderful little place! Food excellent, service could not be better. Menu items can be adjusted to taste without grief. Prices very fair!

I can't say enough about this wonderfully different place that already hasn't been said in the other reviews. Spectacular service, stupendous food and an experience that is not to be missed. Even if you need to travel out of your way, make a plan to come visit ZEST. You won't regret it! read more

Our whole family went to Zest in Bayshore yesterday. Wasn't sure if some of our pickier eaters would like it but they all did. A nice surprise was that they start you off with some free cornbread while waiting for your food. Most of us got the Thai PB&J pulled pork and some got the grilled organic chicken club sandwich. It took a little while for food to be prepared but was worth the wait. Everything was very tasty and the fries were hot and crispy. The service was very good and prices were OK. If you are looking for pub food with a little twist you should check them out. read more

Came here one afternoon around 3pm. Restaurant was dead which was understandable for a weekday afternoon. Food was ok but honestly reminded me of Friendlys. Probably won't try this place again soon. read more

First and foremost was the atmosphere, a classy yet fun vibe. The service was great, they were attentive and weren't on top of you as you ate. Rickie our server was polite and pleasant. The Owner/Chef was gracious and attentive to his customers. The food, I don't know where to start. The Brisket, The Pulled Pork, The Hamburgers or the Food Coma? The prices were too good to be true and the food was even better. They even have a Vegan Menu. 10/10 for sure. read more

I just want to give this restaurant 5 stars. Besides the food being delicious, the customer service is exceptional. The owner came over to introduce herself and to make sure everything was OK. everyone that was working there was pleasant and smiling. The beef brisket was delicious. I had the picnic basket which came with coleslaw and mac & cheese . Delicious!! The corn bread which is homemade was the best! I think it was the best cornbread I have ever had and they give you a ricotta honey butter to put on it. Wow delicious!! My friend had the ribs picnic basket which were also very good. I would highly recommend this establishment. When I walked into Zest.. from the outside, it doesn't look special, except for the wall of love but then when you walk inside the ambience was inviting and exciting. I loved all the pictures on the walls. They are absolutely beautiful especially the ones with the hearts. Well done!! I will definitely be back! read more

Unique and tasty dishes!!! Very nice people. We love the cauliflower chip and spinach hummus!

Our first time here, I want to go back over and over again. The food was absolutely over the top with taste and size. 98% of food Mike makes on the spot fresh!! Sangria was delicious, as was the entire meal. Our waitress is someone who loves her work and is a pleasure! read more

Wow what a find! My sister took me here for lunch, she is vegetarian I am vegan so we have challenges finding a place that has something to offer other than an impossible burger. To be honest it was hard to get past the apps because of all the choices available! There was something for everyone on the menu....pulled pork, smoked brisket, pizza and more. The hostess Debbie greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel so welcomed. When I mentioned I was vegan she pointed out several items that could be grilled to avoid any butter but as I said there were more than enough options available for me. The restaurant itself has a cool vibe... great painting on the wall of various music icons. My recommendation... RUN don't walk to ZEST!! read more

Came here a couple of days ago with some friends.. they have so many fun different crazy options on the menu so if youre a picky eater this place sorta isnt for you. Lots of 'druken food' type of options which is exactly what we were looking for. Our waitress lesley was awesome! We go sat right away and she quickly promted us without having to start turning our necks looking for someone (happens at so many places). She was super nice and got us out everything we could need. Would come back with my son who would love this food! read more

Zest is delicious food - their stuff is unique and original and tasty! Service is always great! The interior is decorated really cool, lots of pop art! Highly recommend! read more

The food was delicious. I had the braised lamb lasagna. Presentation was beautiful. The lasagna noodle was like a fried wanton, layered with a creamed spinach, mashed squash and the braised lamb. My husband's chicken sandwich was awesome (that is all I could get out of him), I did try his cole slaw and it was perfectly dressed and very fresh. read more

Omg! I cannot explain the intense creativity and the myriad of flavors that Chef Mike creates. My friend, Karen and I happened upon this restaurant today and it is now going to be one of my go to's. Debbie, our waitress provided exceptional service and was extremely attentive. The food was divine. I don't know how the chef puts these food combinations together, but they work incredibly. read more

Great addition to the Bayshore community. Finally there's a new place with exciting options & flavors! I'm loving Zest not just because the staff was great when I went but I'm loving the creativity in choice of dishes. Every month you're getting new themed options-how cool? There's some fantastic staples here that are always available but it's really nice to see the specials in not just food but deserts too. Holy cow they have been good. There's no bad dish. I've done dinner and lunch here now and cannot wait to get back. Big parking lot, cool interior and great food. You can bring your friends or family. Definitely recommend! read more
