Loved our evening on Saturday (7-10 show), especially when songs by Gypsy King was played plus a few other classic songs. Great duo! Food was fresh but limited in selection. Cocktails delicious. Service was okay, nothing extraordinary. It’s a little pricey experience, more so than Q’s in Versace with their Valentine’s special offer going on, and other offers throughout the year. Would recommend to others for one or two visits, but nothing beats Q’s for now (for us).

Awesome service, love their staff. Got the coconut curry mixed seafood basket: sauce was delicious and shrimp/crab tasted fresh (mussels less so), but the sauce gets heavy after a while on the taste buds and stomach. Would recommend ordering a variety of flavours to share instead of one huge bucket of the same flavour. Fried salmon with fries boat for kids did not taste very good so pack a meal for your kids if they won’t be eating what you’re eating. Might be back if the craving ever hits again.

Have been a patron of RAW since early 2019, just after they moved to their new warehouse location. Love their black tie beans blend, and their siphon coffee. Their food menu has been ever evolving and changing, as has their seating (I miss the currency table next to the roastery area!) but I like what they finally settled on. Love the dynamite chicken rice bowl with yuzu dressing, and the beetroot beef burger. Sweet potato fries has been consistently amazing since the beginning. One thing though, they skimped on the toppings of the rice bowl after their second launch of it on the menu…was more generous before. Also, please bring back the mint Nanaimo bar! Thank you.

Oh and one time they served the chicken parm still frozen in the middle…please be more careful.

Love the vibes, super casual and family like. They have sparkling or still water on tap, which they serve on the house. Props for that. We always come back every month. Keep up the good work!

After a day spent at their fabulous pool (we are huge fans of the One & Only Palm and frequent it as often as possible, be it swimming in their pool or delighting in afternoon tea at the Lounge, walking their grounds, listening to live music at the spot past the dock, etc), we decided to dine at Zest before going home.

We ordered: WOK CANTONESE RICE, WAGYU BEEF RIBEYE GRADE 5 and shared an ICE CAPPUCCINO to cap off the meal. Everything was so delicious. I could taste the “wok hei” of the rice, and the prawns were extra juicy and tender. The beef was good quality and cooked to medium just as we asked. Excellent place. Pricing a bit steep due to the name tag it is associated with 😆 do recommend! Service is attentive and friendly.
