“ Service here was impeccable. Waiters were attentive. Restaurant had a cool artsy vibe. I'm sorry I didn't take more pictures. Apparently they have various activity nights and it was Bingo night when we were there. Seemed like you could reserve tables for the game night. They serve complimentary corn bread which was light, fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The gorgonzola burger was delicious. I was craving a burger and this hit the spot. It was perfectly juicy filled with spinach and a nice cajun aoili. My only critique is it was a little salty but I'll attribute that to the gorgonzola, bacon combo. The pico de gallo helps to cut some of it. The smoked Brisket was also delicious. The brisket itself was tender and not too fatty. Loved the roasted tomatoes and balsamic grilled onions. Let's not forget that melted provolone. Overall, a killer combo of a sandwich. Would definitely come back as the menu has some interesting choices and the 2 I tried were a hit. ”

“ Zest Bay Shore is a winner! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was great, the service was friendly, and the food--oh man, the food--was top-tier. First up, the Bavarian pretzel. This thing was huge, warm, perfectly salted, and came with multiple dips that made it impossible to stop eating. We kept passing it around, trying to pick a favorite dip, but honestly, they were all amazing. Then came the French onion soup, and wow--rich, cheesy, and loaded with caramelized onion goodness. Basically, a warm hug in a bowl. The sandwiches were equally awesome--fresh, flavorful, and stuffed just right. Every bite was a win. Overall, Zest Bay Shore knows how to do it right. Great food, great atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back for more (and probably another round of pretzels)! ”

“ Fresh and delicious food, very attentive service. Ambiance perfect very retro. Plenty of specials for every budget. 10 start worthy, will be back. Thank you. ”

“ The atmosphere is great for all, kid friendly. The food is big portions and very tasty. Well thought out dishes and beautifully plated. Unique meals, like cauliflower chips I wouldn't think of making myself are amazing. I can't wait to go back and have them again. Staff is friendly and helpful. ”

“ Whenever we make it back here, we do it explicitly for the burgers. We enjoy their burgers a lot since they are always well made. We've tried the Cole slaw which is always fresh and I like to get the fries. Their cornbread is sweet as always. I wanted to also take this opportunity to add more pictures including the inside, outside, and menus. This place is not expensive and you can definitely have a nice date night here. The service is always great- they are very attentive and work as a team. I base my 5 stars on the service, ambiance, and burgers. I'll be back to try something different on the menu! ”

“ Located in an old Friendly's a little off the beaten path, this restaurant has ample parking which is refreshing being that you normally have to circle a block to get a parking spot on Main Street in Bay Shore. Cute decor and friendly service. The food is solid albeit salty but nothing was bad. In fact, the mac and cheese was pretty darn good because I am still thinking about it a few days later. The portions were large and we both got a to go box and did not have room for dessert even though we were interested. Went here for a quick and casual date night with the hubs and we enjoyed it and would come back with our kids. More of a family vibe than a date night spot. ”

“ Why did take me so long to try this place!? I'm in bay shore for over a year now, my wife and I have tried just about everything on Main Street. The only thing I can think of, is maybe Zest is on the most western part of town. Well, we have been there twice this month and have no plans on taking this place off our radar. The atmosphere itself is fun, low key and artsy. They have cool celebrity / Hollywood paintings throughout the restaurant in bright vibrant colors. The menu has a little bit of everything, and there are some untraditional dishes or variations on food you are used to, and they are delicious. The first time we went, we ordered the short rib potato skins app which were mouthwatering. I had the panko chicken sandwich, and it was exploding with flavor. My wife had the Ala Vodka pizza which was delicious. The second time we went, I had the burger and added avocado and bacon, my wife again wanted a pizza and went with the white pie. She enjoyed that even more than the first one. The huge winner here was dessert, which my wife is more of a fan of sweets than myself. THEY HAD ZEPPOLES. We all know any street fair serves these up best, and pizzerias offer them but they are never even close to that. When I tell you Zest offers the best made and tasting zeppoles next to a street fair, you have to try it yourself. We were honestly shocked with how many you get in one order for $10. The pricing for their food is super reasonable and they offer a ton of specials via their texting service. Many coupons & lotteries are sent out which makes dinning there that much better. ”
