Best WLM Reviews
The food was delicious and the service was great! We came in at about 10:30 on a Sunday and I expected a long wait but we're seated right away. The restaurant filled up quickly after we arrived. Their breakfast burritos use Colorado chilies and was fantastic. I ordered the Croque Madame and was pleasantly surprised. It was incredibly flavorful! The hollandaise sauce on the Benedicts is made daily. Everything was wonderful.
1 year update: My favorite restaurant, being a Lakewood local. Best joint around, hands down. The owner Vince & Chere who will probably greet you are just amazing people. Come here, you won't regret it. Celiac safe too!*
Chere the one who took my order today and Vince, the owner, are AMAZING. I have Celiac disease so eating out can be hard and frustrating because not only my allergy to gluten but gluten free food that has been cross contaminated with food that does have gluten (shared surfaces, shared deep fryers, pans utensils et cetera) but NOT AT ZEST!
Even though they are not a dedicated gluten free restaurant both Chere and Vince went out of their way to tell me what was safe (pretty much everything) and not only what was safe but how they were going to prepare it to make it safe, giving me peace of mind.
I got the Pork Chop off the dinner menu and it was AMAZING! Zest is a small cozy place, bar, with great outdoor seating and a nice breakfast setting. Next time I'm trying breakfast and next dinner a GF Pizza.
After this amazing first experience I'll be back again and again, probably tomorrow! If you're looking for well priced high quality food, Zest is it.
Got celiac disease or on a GF diet? Zest is the best. Support this small business and enjoy some amazing food, service, and conversation.
**EDIT FOR SECOND MEAL EXPERIENCE** Got the Buffalo Slider with truffle fries they used corn starch instead of flour just for my allergy, and fried in a separate pan. Amazing burger, HUGE too. Picture makes the burger look boring and fries look weird (mostly due to the cornstarch) but trust me that is the way it should look because it's the best GF buffalo burger I've ever had.
Everything Is Made From Scratch/Fresh But The Food Is Somewhat Bland.
We Started With The Fried Brussel Sprouts (Not Pictured) Which Were Deliciously Seasoned & Came Sprinkled With Parmesan & A Sriracha Aioli. Mmm.
My Buddy Got The Soup Of The Day, Which Was French Onion & It Was Okay. Again, Great Taste, Just Not Enough Flavor Or Actual Onion For That Matter.
We Finished With The Steak & Cheese & The Open-Faced Chicken Club (Both Pictured) & Only Ate Half Of That. Everything Was Good With Those (They REALLYLike Their Cheese, Lol) & We Left Full.
I’ve been going to Zest for years. As a matter of fact one year I was there almost weekly. My most recent visit was full of disappointment. We had three people for lunch on a weekday. The server/host didn’t seat the first person who arrived at the table but made him sit upfront. Throughout the lunch we had several strange moments, but hey, maybe it was a trainee... but then the food arrived and I will let pictures speak for themselves. That was a burned Ruben and crab cakes. ????
It’s kind of sad. It was my favorite spot for a while. I am glad it wasn’t romantic date or important business lunch, it would have been terrible impression.
Everytime I come here the food is fresh and always good. The service is always excellent and you can tell they really care and are proud of what they do! Steak sandwich is tasty and I always love any type of their eggs benedict.
Had a great lunch here on Saturday. Great local spot in Lakewood. The patio was perfectly shaded and very enjoyable. We had the club sandwich and a salad with the blue cheese balsamic dressing. Super great.
You order at the bar / counter and they’ll bring everything to you.
Will definitely make a point to come back for some breakfast.
How have we never been here before! Wonderful little spot, cute little patio area. Food was amazing! My husband had the chef special and I have to say I was a little jealous when he let me taste it ???? Sole florentine. My salmon and Greek salad was delicious. I would recommend to anyone to just drop in and have a great meal.
I had never been here before. A friend took me there who eats there very frequently. The menu is fairly small but that's not a bad thing. Service is good. It's a fairly small place you might miss easily, but there is seating on the patio or you can eat inside as well. You basically walk in go to the bar, put your order in and then grab a seat and they bring the food out to you. The menu isn't very extensive but what they have is pretty good. Tried the shishito peppers. That was excellent. Also the pork chop was very good and the service is very good as well. If you want a good meal fairly quickly and not have to deal with crowds, it's a good place
