What Fiona Hawke likes about Zest:
Haven't been here in awhile ordered Belly pork with chive mash was really nice service brilliant ,thanks Ashley never without a drink now that's what I call service View all feedback. What Alyson Millaras doesn't like about Zest:
Visited with my parents and the menu gives enough choice to suit most tastes. One had pizza which came with vegan cheese, and two of us had the curry rice. All perfectly fine. There was also a vegan burger, salad and possibly something else on the menu, and a vegan dessert. Venue is nice overlooking the revitalised harbour. Plenty of seating upstairs as well as downstairs. Friendly staff. View all feedback.
