Root & Bone

Decent food; terrible atmosphere, service was great. The food was overpriced for the quality, casa mias is far better in taste and price. This resteraunt could use some renos, for the price of the food you'd think they'd make it more classy. I will not return for a second meal. The head chef there never shuts his mouth, I don't pay $100 for my wife and I to indure such ingorance. He should tone down his voice and realize how expensive the resteraunts meals cost, quite unenjoyable.

One of Our Favourites

My husband and I are so lucky there is a restaurant in Fonthill of the calibre of Zest. It is as good as a "Toronto" fine dining. The service is wonderful from the time you enter the front door, and until you leave. There have been times I've been thrilled with the menu, and other times not so much, but still be able to find something that pleased me well. My only criticism, people who have Celiac disease really get left sitting by the curb. Although at Zest they make an effort for those of us who need a gluten free dinner, other steps could be taken. If there are appetizers that are served with bread, rice crackers could be substituted for gluten free diners. Also, there is a wonderful gluten free bakery in Chipawa, that makes wonder bread and glutten free cakes.They even deliver to Fonthill. I just wish more restaurants would educate themselves in gluten free dining. It's not rocket science, and more people by the day are being diagnosed. When my husband and I want to celebrate, we go to Zest. I'm thinking of holding our 25th Anniversary Party at Zest, and inviting 30 of our friends. I know, Zest would not let us down.

My Favourite Restaurant!

I noticed the last reviews for Zest were from a year or two ago and I wanted to assure people they are still an amazing restaurant! We are never disappointed here. It's definitely a "special occasion" restaurant...at least for us, but it's worth it each and every time! The service is incredible. Your water glass is never empty, your bread plate always full. They make a fantastic martini and the food comes out quickly, but still with incredible care. You won't be disappointed.

The food is of excellent quality. Great taste and...

The food is of excellent quality. Great taste and very enjoyable. The main chef was a bit of an ignoramous. Verbally abusing his workers. I hope to see an improved display of manners from him the next time I go, I did not enjoy hearing that garbage when I'm spending $100 on a meal.

Niagara's best cuisine by far!

Zest is a simply a gem. It has an open kitchen concept where you can watch the culinary team in full action. Leigh is the owner and host. She always remembers our name, favorite drink and special anniversary dates. Chef David creates the most wonderful dishes, that not only look great, but make my lips yummy! There are alot of great restaurants in Niagara, but nothing as personal, fabulous and private as Zest. Look for it if you are visiting our area, you WILL NOT be disappointed.
