    I just wanted to share what a fantastic experience we had dining at Zesty. We ordered several appetizers to share—Saganaki, Octopus, and the Greek spread—and each one was flavorful and beautifully presented. For me, it was the first time ordering lamb (Arni Souvlaki), and it did not disappoint. The flavor was rich and well-balanced, and the meat was incredibly tender. What made the evening even more special was that one of our friends is originally from Greece, and even he was thoroughly impressed by the food and ambiance. He also looked over the wine list and found the selection of Greek wines to be very impressive. Adding to the charm of the night, the restaurant provided live entertainment with a band playing traditional Greek music. It really elevated the entire experience and added an authentic touch that made us feel like we were transported to Greece for the evening. Overall, Zesty delivered a memorable night filled with great food, music, and atmosphere.
