As always, Zesty's was great. The food and the service is excellent. Our server Carol took great care of us and Trish at the bar is the best. The owner Tom goes out of his way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. The entertainment on Friday Night was Awesome. This place is truly a must go to in the area.

My wife and I had a lovely meal at Zesty’s. The ambience was warm and inviting, the service was outstanding, and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. My wife saw the owner, a real old-school restauranteur, having recognized him from their TV commercials, and he made some recommendations from the menu that were spot on. It’s almost like you can throw a dart at the menu and anything you’d hit would have been wonderful. We really enjoyed everything about Zesty’s and definitely plan to go again. It’s easy to see why so many people that go to Zesty’s are regulars.

We went on a quiet evening. We sat at the bar and had dinner. Three friends out for a casual evening. The food was very good. The bartender was very friendly, and had good suggestions for both food and cocktails. We would certainly return.

Always exceptional! 😊 Tom ( owner) is the perfect host , restauranteur and CHEF. What could he better than a restaurant owner who cares SO MUCH- that he runs the kitchen himself? Last night was our 48th Anniversary and Zestys made it even more special. Belly dancer and all! The crowd was up on its feet dancing along with the belly dancer! Zestys never disappoints and my tuna last evening was perfect as always!❤️ Thank you Zestys!

Great place ! Second time we've been here with our vendor partner and it was even better than the first time. Owner/Chef came out, introduced himself, turned us on to some great choices on the menu that we hadn't ordered before and they were great recommendations. Also gave us a plate of Zucchini Chips and Tzatziki that he made AND ITS WAS THE BEST THING EVER. Omg! I could eat that everyday. Also waitress was outstanding - super friendly, accommodating and took great care of us. We are making this our go-to spot each time our vendor comes into Philly! Love it. What a gem!!

Excellent service! If you go, please ask for a waitress which name is Monica (a Hispanic lady). Her service is outstanding! She well deserved a good tip and you won't regret it. Our first time in this restaurant and we will come back again. The restaurant’s owner, Tom, takes time and visit every table asking if everything is going well, if we enjoy the food, etc. Definitely they care about their customers and I love that.

We sat outside because of Covid. Although we were seated immediately we had long waits to a) have our order taken, b) receive our orders c) get the check and rarely were we approached by our waitress during our meal. The service was okay just not up my expectations. I also remember the food being better during previous visits but overall it was pretty good. I will go back but have expectations of better service and food. The staff was pleasant and accommodating (we asked to move tables due to noise at our initial seating).
