Zest Kitchen & Bar absolutely delivers.
The seared tuna was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly seared, melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and beautifully presented. The balance of flavors was spot on and you can tell real care goes into the food here.
Huge shoutout to Noah at the bar, who was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better without ever being overbearing. Exactly the kind of service you hope for when sitting at the bar. Dirty martini was on point !
Between the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the top-notch service, Zest Kitchen and Bar is a place I’ll absolutely be coming back to. Highly recommend.

Amazing flavors, every salad dressing etc from scratch. Highest recommendation, chef owned. My favorite is the duck salad, truly elevated excellent cocktails and happy hour from 4-6pm including a three course early bird menu for $32.

We stumbled upon Zest upon moving to Port Saint Lucie. We had the most amazing lunch and our waiter, Noah, was so attentive and great with his recommendations. They did not disappoint!! Everything we ordered was amazing from the soup, the calamari, amazing Zest cheeseburger and the duck salad. We are now here at least twice a week and have recommended Zest to all of our friends. Thank you Noah! You are the BEST!!

Dined there today, Valentines Day. Service was so amazing! John, was our server and his personality was so very warm and he was very engaging AND attentive. Mike, the owner and I believe the manager were very warm and engaging. We even got to meet Mike’s family. A very friendly atmosphere and you feel very welcomed.
Service was fast and the food was perfectly cooked. We had calamari with a sauce that was much more flavorful than marinara. I had the snapper which was perfectly cooked. The fruit salsa was a nice addition and very pleasing to the palate. The Brussels sprouts were well cooked either a nice semi sweet glaze that didn’t take away from the sprouts flavor. My husband had the Rio Alto red blend and loved it. We plan to dine again this week because I want to try the duck wings.
I highly recommend you stop by!

Excellent service and wonderful ambience. Can’t overstate how hospitable the staff was. However that was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Ordered three appetizers: a salad that was super sweet, and had what tasted like dried maraschino cherries in it. Which is fine when there is a balance of anything to counter the sweetness — but there wasn’t. The duck wings were 90% fried and 10% meat… and that 10% was super dry. And my date wouldn’t allow me to taste the tuna tartare as it tasted “off” to her and it was sent back. Perhaps it was the chef tonight or perhaps it was the ingredients. But I do recommend you try it for yourself to support local restaurateurs and not chains.

The salmon was absolutely delicious. Hard to find someone who really knows how to cook fish. So this is your spot if you are persnickety.

I have the chicken sandwhich with fried green tomatoes and Brie cheese, it was amazing. My kid got a cheese burger and fries and he loved it too. Everything was wonderful. Down to the server that had us. I forgot her name. But she was lovely and took care of us, even with my 10 month old being loud because well she loves food haha. I definitely want to come back for a date night! And definitely will be back for lunch with the kids.

My husband and I went to Zest a few weeks ago and it was PERFECT!! The food was so good – I’d never seen my husband eat so fast. He had the chicken sandwich with the fried green tomato. I had the crab cake with asparagus and I wish I could eat that every day!! The manager Dennis went out of his way to chat with us and thank us for coming in. I love supporting local businesses and we will absolutely be back!

The shredded duck salad was the most unique and delicious salad I’ve ever had. They pay attention to both presentation and textures as well as flavor. This is a MUST try if you like duck. We also tried the brussel sprouts with bacon and balsamic (delicious) the house salad with chicken (delicious) and the hand cut salt and vinegar fries (delicious). I will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu which had so many of my favorites items. The bar made a bloody mary that I was envious of.
