We had a party of 3 last night. I wanted to try something different and saw they had gluten free options. Best decision ever!Elle our server was fabulous. The Seafood Linguine was to die for. Best gluten free pasta I have ever! Plus the chef made sure it didn't have any dairy. The sauce, oh my. I want the recipe, hehe.Decor was fun and sophisticated. Can't wait to go back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy free.

I decided to take my wife out to diner for her birthday - she wanted to go to Zesti's as she had not been there and we have both been to IL Mito - which was very good. They sat us at a table that wobbled very badly. The waiter was very difficult to understand and always seemed like he had to be somewhere else. When the food came - we tried the duck. The duck was very good. The spinach was cold. Then there was this potato thing. It tasted like someone undercooked scalloped potatoes and then pressed them together - not good. In the end - no dessert and no happy birthday....overall very disappointing. I do not think we will ever be back.

This place keeps getting better! Excellent caesar salad with generous portion of crispy salmon. Hubby had stuffed pork chop, juicy and flavorful.. interesting and creative combination of flavors. Sat at the bar, Daniel is absolutely delightful!! Looking forward to returning soon.

Loved this place. The atmosphere is great. The customer service spot on. The food was amazing. Anyone looking for creative pasta dishes or simply amazing food. Needs to come here. The portion sizes were perfect.

Was here in July, 30 minutes to get drinks and 60 minutes for our dinner. Waiter apologized and said the kitchen was backed up with take out menus. Maybe true, but is that what you tell your patron sitting at your table? Decided tonight to try the carryout, went to their site and placed an order using their preferred service Menufy. Selected what we wanted, had all the fees and tips added and received email confirmation that I could pick up in an hour. After I drove 20 minutes there confused hostess found someone after 10 minutes who told me they weren’t taking takeout orders! NOT HAPPY. They were able to credit my card back and apologized, no compensation (needed or) offered. So what is it? If I’m there I have to wait for takeout, if I order takeout I have to stop at Culvers on the way home. In the process of placing the Menufy order I had to enter my phone # and email but apparently these were not visible to the restaurant to contact me. This has been a very good place in the past and we’ve been there a number of times; I guess it’s time to see who else is out there.

Everything about our experience is as excellent except for my steak. Boneless ribeye was the special. The meat was Terribly chewy. My wife’s meal (Thai tortellini ) was unique and delicious.I no doubt believe their standard menu is excellent. I still recommend Zesti based on the experience
Great food & service. Chef Fekers recipes bring an abundance of flavors in every bite. Nice wine choices. Loved it!!'

Simply, it appears the bartender does not like her job tonight. We only had a glass of wine during happy hour so maybe that offended her. Not interested in staying for a second. The busser was very nice and attentive tho and we appreciated his work.

We usually go for early evening appetizers and wine or late supper (and wine!) and sit at the bar. Excellent service! Limited selection of appetizers and menu entrees, but everything is delicious and served on time. Wine selection is pretty good. Strongly recommend the Rack-and-Barrel red. You won't regret it!
