Feedback
Nestled in Bethlehem, Zest delivers a mixed dining experience. Guests rave about the vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service, often praising the delicious cocktails and well-prepared entrees, particularly the lobster and steak specials. However, criticisms arise regarding high prices, limited menu options, particularly for vegetarians and celiac diners, and occasional lapses in service, such as undelivered apologies for dietary mistakes. While many appreciate the quality and flavors of the food, some leave feeling concerned about safety due to miscommunication. Overall, Zest remains a popular choice for its ambiance and drink selection, but potential diners should be aware of its limitations.
Came on a whim on NYE, the bartender was awesome. The cocktails hit every time. We had the duck dumplings and the bisque. Both were 10/10. I will come back even though the entrées are a little overpriced imo. The crab spring rolls are also my favorite because of the sauce the come with. Never get rid of that sauce.

It was a great New Years staff was great! Food was fantastic the only thing I will say is we were seated in a room off of the main restaurant. Other than the food the best part of the restaurant is the views and the ambiance. It felt like we were put in a corner and not even in the same restaurant.
Absolutely wonderful food. The portions were just right and the charcuterie board was well worth it. I went for the pasta special recommended by the waitress and it was 100% on point. The La Vie en Rose wine shocked me with how light it was. Not yourtypical Rosé at all. I will definitely be returning for future dining.
As we were asking what restaurants are good in this area, this one was the first recommended, and we see why! My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. The view and the experience were amazing! Our food was perfectly cooked and plating wasimmaculate. We will definitely be back.
