Zest Bar and Grill 315 East Summerlin Street, Bartow, FL 33830

"Food was delicious! I had the shrimp and grits, cooked perfectly! My husband had the Zest burger also perfectly done. Our service was great! We are bringing home a key lime pie to enjoy when we are not so full. Waitress said it is made in house by their pastry chef"

"This place was so great! Our server was very attentive, patient and welcoming. The food was so delicious. It's difficult to find a really good salad at a restaurant and they hit it out of the park!"

"We had a great time and a great server. How nice to find Friday Fish that includes real cod. The facility is welcoming with southern charm having seating on the porch. Everything was clean, including the rest rooms. Great to see an old building rehabilitated and see all the old architecture inside. Did I mention the off street parking? So my a 4 star? There was only 4-5 tables with customers at them. The bar tender seemed to prefer socializing with the 3 bar customers over making cocktails for the tables. Almost felt like Cheers. Different bar tender, 5 stars all day long."

"I will have to first say the waitress was amazing!!!!! She was on point and very pleasant. This made the experience very enjoyable, but the food was lacking a bit. The shrimp & grits special was served with the most delicious sauce and the grits were cooked to perfection, but the shrimp were over cooked and I fear, not fresh. My husband had an American burger and he stated it wasn’t a special burger, but was good. The key lime pie is made in-house so we decided to pay the $10 for the slice and unfortunately it was not the greatest. The decor is very Florida beautiful and the patio is very quaint. I’m sure it looks even more beautiful in the evening! I will try this again because I feel each place deserves a second chance so I hope to be back soon."
