Can not compliment this place enough. Went for my birthday and was greeted by a friendly and professional young lady. We was given the option of a table in the window which we would usually appreciate but as the weather has turned we were concerned it might be a bit cold so asked if we could have a booth and the girl obliged. The service, food and decor was spot on. Can't what to go again.

It's not the first time that I've visited this restaurant and it won't be the last! The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the vibe was calm and peaceful and the background music was not intrusive. Looking forward to my next visit!

Very poor food quality, didn’t eat anything when bringing it up to staff was told were lying at that were the issue 😂. Ayse the “manager” said i was wrong in what i was saying that the food is great and then she came to the conclusion that i was right but wouldn’t do anything about it. Was raising her voice and speaking disrespectfully when i mentioned her doing so she walked away from the table.. plain ignorance she said as nobody else has an issue with the food it mean we’re lying ???

Not a great experience. I’ve given a 3 ⭐️ for the atmosphere just because there was only two of us in, it was only 5.00pm though on a Monday. The service 1 ⭐️ because you could clearly sense they wanted us in and out because they were expecting a table of 9 and a table of 6 in and for duration of our meal dragged tables and chairs backwards and forwards to accommodate. We had no check back after the food had been delivered. We had no check when our plates were collected. We wasn’t asked if we wanted any more drinks or to order desserts. To add insult to injury I went to the toilet and the owner had run an extension cable along the doorway floor whilst I was inside and I tripped over it coming back through the door. The food a hesitant 2 ⭐️. My husbands tikka wrap he said was delicious. My burger was not hot and I could tell this before I even tasted it due to the length of time from ordering to arrival. Very poor service, I won’t recommend to my clients.

Have dined as a family numerous times over the years, in fact we used to go on a weekly basis before covid. Not been for a long time so decided to stop by for a meal whilst we were out. Sadly it will be our last visit. Hubby ordered the fish skewer which was ok and he tucked into it. I ordered rump steak, a lovely cut usually, can be a bit chewy at times, but given where it’s cut from it’s a hard working piece which should be quite tender. Not mine, I managed to eat round the edges, but couldn’t cut through the middle despite having a steak knife so left over half of it. I didn’t kick up a fuss, but when the plates were taken away and I was asked if everything was ok, i explained about how I couldn’t cut never mind eat the steak. The waiter who was lovely said he’d pick it up with the chef - that’s fair enough. The lady who seemed to be the manager/head waiter asked if everything was in passing - she initially took our order earlier and seemed lovely - i explained about the steak, didn’t ask for another, didn’t ask for a refund - but wow she went straight into defensive mode telling me that it is what I should expect from rump steak!! Hang on, the restaurant is telling me that I should not have expected to actually cut into and eat it?? I was being pleasant in my initial explanation but ended by telling her they shouldn’t be putting a dish on the menu knowing customers would find it hard to eat. But low and behold, apparently a customer had the same dish earlier and told them it was like slicing through butter…..!!! Really. We won’t be going back. I wasn’t kicking off and just explained the problem when the food was taken away, the situation was poorly managed despite them knowing they are cooking dishes using poor quality ingredients. It’s a shame, Zest used to be the hub on the city in it’s hey day, not so know. No wonder it was 1/3 full when we walked in at 8pm on a Saturday night.

Service was quick, but the food was awful. Starter of mozzarella sticks was cold, had to send it back to be redone. Mains we had pasta, it was bland, tasteless and was almost like it was microwaved. One of the pasta dishes was the penne tomato chicken thing, where they covered it in pre-grated cheese on top, (which didn’t melt)! We got chips, they were cold on the outside but hot on the inside and were soggy. We were in and out within 30 mins. Doorbell system is strange and lacks human interaction.

I have visited Zest for several years and always enjoyed. Last night after a busy day at work I met my partner for a meal and drinks. We both ordered our drinks- I ordered a glass of wine and the waitress returned to say she couldn't serve me. I had walked from the train station without having had anything to drink and have never said anything or done anything untoward there before. I felt embarrassed and humiliated and didn't place a food order in the end and just wanted to get out of there. Awful experience.

Dear manager, Incorrect change brought, so no service tip left. My family and I are visiting from the USA, total cost was £32.90 and I paid 54£ (wanted to break to smaller bills). Server brought back £17.10, sooooo no tip for you. You think I can’t do math. You were going to get a service tip that was larger (c’mon, we’re Americans, you’re getting 20% if it’s not included as a service fee). So, you shorted yourself £2.48. Great job with your sticky fingers. FYI, manager, we were there approximately 1200-1300 for lunch on 7 June in a curved booth table with a view of the kitchen / grill and server station. Thanks, great chef, but won’t be back because of the end of service.

We are regulars here every week never and had any issues until tonight. Asked for dog water as the bowels were empty, to be told " it's outside" with a sour face . Next we wanted a pizza ( 7.55pm) to be told " no foods off now" no sorry or explanation, just shouted down the stairs as couldn't even be bothered to come down.
