A Vegan re-visiting Salt Lake City - Edit
While traveling to Salt Lake City, my co-worker and I were looking for a suitable place for me to eat. She is not a vegan, but is health conscious. The dinner was excellent and the food was plentiful and filling. She absolutely loved the meal, and so did I. I would definitely recommend this place.

Almost missed it - Edit
We almost missed this place as it was tucked behind P.J.Chang. I ordered the stuffed jalepenos for starter and jackfruit tacos for main. The food tasted good but the service felt a little hollow. Certainly a good option but doesn’t make me want to run back. We also had issues looking at the menu online (I think because we didn’t have American sims) and unfortunately there was no paper back up to view.

Delicious - Edit
Dinner and brunch the next morning. Really liked the Irish stew, even though it wasn’t really a stew.

Very hip - Edit
Creative menu, a tad bit limited and incongruous, but it works. Full bar at a vegan restaurant is unusual, but welcome.
Read morePros: All vegan. , Full bar (if that’s your thing)

Stunning upmarket vegan restaurant - Edit
First, loved the service friendly, happy and helpful. The place had an up market yet chill vibe. Food was very good. My wife had the nachos and I had the powerbowl with their bean patty added. Both were delicious! I’m not normally a nachos person but kept stealing from my wife!

Enjoyed my meal, but nothing crazy. - Edit
It’s nice when the entire menu is vegan and you cans enjoy from a large variety. I would suggest getting your meal to go. The customer service isn’t great and it’s extremely dark and I inviting inside. The food doesn’t match the scene at all in my opinion. The mushrooms were great and can’t go wrong with a side salad… but the Cuban breakfast is saturated with grease. All 3 items were good, but don’t think I’d return.

Not super impressed but worth trying - Edit
Zest was very hit or miss for me. I went twice and the first time got the pizza and was blown away by it. Second time I tried the Bolognese and nachos and was underwhelmed.
Read moreThe food is pricey compared to other vegan options in the area. It's clear they focus on healthier ingredients as opposed to what tastes good, so if you're looking for a whole food restaurant this is for you. I don't have as refined a palette and was a little let down by the underwhelming flavor of the Bolognese and nachos.
Overall I think it's worth trying especially because it's an all vegan restaurant. It just wasn't my favorite.

Pricey and ok but kinda worth it I guess - Edit
Stopped for dinner while in SLC on unpleasant business with my mother (a very picky highly critical chef). The vibe was nice and the service was pretty good.
Read moreFor bevvies I got an extremely over priced and under poured glass of Malbec and my mother got a Chardonnay (also over priced and under poured) but under the circumstances we didn’t mind so much.
We got the jalapeño poppers as an appetizer which was the highlight of our meal for both of us I think. We both loved the pomegranate sauce drizzled on the jalapeños but both agreed that the sweetness of the pomegranate, creaminess of the cashew cheese, and the sour cream drizzle tamer the jalapeños so much that leaving at least a few of the seeds in to bring some heat would really elevate the dish.
For entrees I got the Korean burger which I did not care for (the lentil burger patty had an awful texture and just plain had no flavor and the most intriguing part of the burger - the sauce - was given as stingily as possible). My mother got a Thai curry and loved it after having eaten hospital cafeteria food for 3 weeks but I found the flavors boring and the forbidden rice it was served with LOOKED cool and that’s about all.
We shared a beet and turnip salad with a citrus vinaigrette. I love beets (even canned ones) so it was pretty difficult to mess this up for me. The cool and creamy cashew cheese was a nice contrast to the warm beets and turnips. Loved this dish!
For dessert we got the salted caramel chocolate tort and the tiramisu cheesecake. I’m not a sweets person so I only had a bite or two of each over the next two days but the chocolate tort was really good and was definitely favored over the cheesecake.
Knowing we had a long night ahead of us and an even longer day of travel the next day we ordered the BBQ Pizza and Breakfast pizzas to go. Even cold the next day these pizzas were far better than the entrees we got and I won’t be wasting my time again with any other entrees on the menu if I find myself in SLC again and choose to eat here.
Pros: Lotsa vegan food , Casual atmosphere , full bar
Cons: Expensive , Limited, small, and kinda boring menu

Yummy & healthy - Edit
Neat space with both a disco ball and a chandelier-type light fixture, high tables, bar space, and traditional dining tables to chose from. I had a wonderful Irish Stew with kombucha but if you're up for indulgence there are beautiful cocktails and desserts too!

Underwhelming is an understatement - Edit
Not being from salt Lake city, maybe this is what people consider to be good food? I sure hope not.
Read moreWhile some things were very good, others were definitely not. Potatoes were undercooked and almost flavorless. I was impressed in particular with the pancakes, even after drowning them in syrup it just tasted like there was nothing in my mouth.
I implore the owner to go to Manhattan for a weekend and try some of the amazing vegan restaurants and then bring some of those things back to salt Lake City.
Pros: All vegan, Friendly staff, Clean bathrooms
Cons: Food has almost no flavor, Undercooked potatoes, Underwhelming is an understatement

Underwhelming main - Edit
We had the jalapeno poppers and brussel sprouts to start. Both were good, the poppers portion was fairly small while the sprouts portion was quite large. But both pretty tasty
Read moreFor the main we had the traditional pizza, and it was disappointing. The first order they gave us was burnt, and they kindly replaced it but it was still average. The base might have been gluten free, but that wasn't labeled on the menu and it lacked flavor and was incredibly thin. The toppings were fine, not overly flavorsome.
Had the carrot cake for dessert which might have been gluten free, and it was decent. A large Portion so glad we only ordered one

Zest is truly zesty! - Edit
We were visiting SLC from Portland and Zest was the first vegan place recommended by the caretaker of the B&B where we were staying. Such a great dinner, from the very creative drinks to the brussel sprouts appetizer to the chocolate torte dessert! Amazing.
