"although the one vegetarian escape on the menu was a little boring, we have very well shared a baptism of appetizers and salads as tapas. the cocktails are beautiful, service was swell, and our choices fell definitiw into the category to make fussy home so that the meal and experience was much appreciated."

I believe that they are closing today, 9/16/17, for a rebirth as a high-quality burger restaurant in 6 weeks.

For my 100th Yelp review, I decided to review ZZest which is my favorite restaurant in Rochester so far! I'm not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars

"This has to be the most interesting ice cream place I've ever been too. I walked by it from my hotel at 3pm on a warm July Wednesday and happened to notice that both of their parking lots were nearly full. I was intrigued by that but thought it must be a misnomer because why would there be so many people at an ice cream shop... it's an ICE CREAM SHOP and we live in the world of dieting overload...!? However, an hour and a half later, when I was walking back to the hotel, I noticed the parking lot was a little less full, but still full. I decided to pop in to see if the place was empty...and it was not. So now I began to look at WHY this place had so many people during a time that the mini restaurant space should be empty, and I found many many reasons for people to come. In fact I now think that the business owner, whoever they are, might be a small business genius... Everything in the place was fun, from the funny sayings on the walls and tables, to the funny ice cream combinations, to the origin story by the door, to the funny daily bit of nonsense on their blackboard ...even the kids party nook. It's incredibly smart on their behalf to let the local customers submit names for their homemade ice cream combinations, which gives the customers a personal stake in the place. They also hold an annual art contest among the local students and hang the winning pieces in the hallway to the bathroom along with a picture of each student. They even sell shirts that would actually help customers advertise the place, and it's only a block away from a sports field where I imagine a lot of little league competitions take place. Having said all that, you're probably thinking, BUT HOW WAS THE ICE CREAM? Actually, really good.. very creamy. They only allow you two samples (and in my opinion, they should up it to three samples...because I probably would have bought two scoops if I could have tried just one more, but I settled on one because the two I tried didn't go together... . I tasted the German chocolate ice cream, which was phenomenal, but ended up buying the spicy chocolate. With the spicy chocolate, it was the first time I'd ever had brain freeze while also feeling like my mouth was on fire. It was a pretty sweet experience (pun intended . The customer service was excellent because they had three or four people working...again, unusual for an ice cream place,but also tells you that a lot of people drop by regularly. Half the tables were full of people and it gave the place a Date Night feel while also being family friendly. It had all the markings of a fun and classic ice cream shop, including a classic ice cream truck outside. If I were to give any suggestions (basically just to the owner it would simply be to up the decorations in the birthday nook. That corner was a bit on the bland side for a party nook. But other than that, probably the best ice cream shop I've ever been too ... and I'm a flight attendant who flies all over the world.
