ZEST bar+grille

My partner and I made a last-minute reservation on a rough day, called to say we were running late, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They not only accommodated us without issue but actually thanked us for calling- which immediately set such a positive tone. The host had the kind of welcoming energy that makes you instantly feel you’re in the right place, and that impression was only confirmed by how wonderful our server Johnny was. We were celebrating an anniversary, and he surprised us with half glasses of Prosecco! 🩷 Since we were short on time, he helped us choose dishes that would come out quickly and still be delicious. We ordered cocktails, the short rib tacos, and the bread tray and everything was absolutely phenomenal. The flavors, presentation, and pacing were perfect- n

This was not my first time visiting zest. The past experiences were much better than the one yesterday. The drinks were always delicious. Our order, however, not so much this time the crispy chicken and dumplings were pretty good. The lobster mac & cheese was salty undercooked noodles. The crabcake was almost as if it wasn’t cooked at all just mixed in a bowl pat it together and placed on a plate. The presentation was beautiful. I ordered the scallops dinner with an extra side of scallops in total I spent $60. Needless to say it was horrific.. The scallops was seared perfectly. The sweet potato purée had no flavor. The side of cauliflower and potatoes was bland. I also order a side of brussels Hash. This was thoroughly disappointing. The brussels sprouts were sliced raw brussels sprouts no

Every single bite better than the last!! We ended up here on a whim and were seated right away on a Saturday night. Our server Hannah took great care of us, and the restaurant is up on the 6th floor with an incredible view. The food was stunning. We have 2 vegetarians in our group and were thrilled with our options - the appetizers had creative flavor combinations and everything was so unique. Kimchi roasted cauliflower, roasted crispy chickpeas, incredible asparagus in a delicious bed of sauce, a roasted corn risotto… ridiculously good. My dad said the short rib was a bit dry, but the flavors were excellent and that it didn’t detract from the overall strength of this meal. Would strongly recommend for a nice date or fancy occasion!

After two recent visits, ZEST bar+grille has really stepped up in unexpected ways. My girlfriend and I always enjoyed the restaurant due to it food, drinks, view, and overall aesthetic, as well as its quality staff. But now, their meals have advanced to another plain. The seared salmon was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, and with amazing rice and blistered tomatoes, it was an absolute treat. My girlfriend got a couple of small plates and she loved her meal as well. In the morning, we returned for brunch, which usually wasn't as good in the past. My girlfriend wanted scrambled eggs and bacon and fries. Since I was starving, I indulged in the beef poutine with onion gravy over fries and with an egg — as well as the blistered tomatoes. Absolutely phenomenal (along with a great

Reservations are recommended on weekends. Our party of four waited a short time after walking in around 6:30pm. Our table had a beautiful view just at sunset, truly beautiful dining room. Our Server was rushed, took a bit to get us our first drink. We also ordered the Cauliflower appetizer which was delicious. A complex and spicy flavor that was perfect to share The entree highlights included Short Rib and wonderful sides. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Cous Cous, Crispy Chickpeas and Asparagus were all perfectly seasoned and deliver hot to the table. A great dinner as a visitor to Bethlehem, PA
