Review of ZEST bar+grille

For starters - food taste and service was overall 10/10. I was glad to see they had a specific, separate gluten free menu and did let our server know that I am celiac and would specifically be ordering exclusively from the gluten free menu and that my s/o did not have any allergies. We had the roasted bone marrow for a starter and it was a little concerning that they brought the food out with the bread on a separate plate right in the middle of our other dishes. I quickly realized when looking at our entrees that the halibut was on a large bed of farrow and my s/o confirmed that’s what it was. After finally flagging her down 15+ minutes into entrees coming out and voicing the concern, she took it away and NOTHING else was said about the mistake the rest of our visit - they simply brought out the corrected meal. No check adjustment. No apology. No acknowledgement at all from any staff or manager (even though there was clearly one stationed directly at the restaurant entrance who was also running expo). Nothing at all. Although the food tasted great, I left feeling VERY concerned and ultimately will not be going back due to feeling unsafe eating from that kitchen.
