ZZEST Catering Menu
Fall

Expect new seasonal changes and new platters in the future.

Please Note:  At ZZest we feature products that are small batch, artisan created, and handmade following traditional family methods. We try to source local farm raised ingredients as often as possible, fly in fresh seafood from the coasts, and fully utilize the ingredients that are at their seasonal best. The supply for such wonderful food is limited and unpredictable, changing with the weather, the producers mood, and the farmers whims. That prevents us from being more detailed on our menu and does not allow us to offer menu tastings, since the exact ingredients may not be available until the day of your event.

Thank you for considering and trusting us.

-Orders can be picked up ready to serve. There is a $50.00 refundable deposit for the platters

-We can deliver your order, set it up, and pick up the serving ware for $75.00

-Servers available for a minimum of 3 hours at $15.00/hour per server

For questions, or to place an order call Jessica at 507-424-0080
