Zest! Of Sarasota offers superb, custom, full-service catering, providing delicious food and arranging all your rental and staffing needs. They are very flexible and enjoy preparing many different types of food. We do breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as cocktail parties. Zest! also has an attractive dining room that will seat up to 20 guests for birthday, anniversary and other types of parties or meetings. Zest! Of Sarasota has been awarded a Brides' Choice Award from Wedding Wire.com for providing excellent service to bridal parties for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and post-wedding brunches.
They specialize in designing unique menus specific to an event, and prepare all their food in their own kitchen in Gulf Gate. In addition to using reusable flatware and plates, Zest! plans menus to keep food waste to a minimum and composts any leftover food that does occur. They separate, collect and recycle all glass and plastic from jobs. They recycle all plastic bags and all foam containers such as egg cartons and the foam liners from meat and fish packaging. In 2008, they discontinued purchasing spring water in small bottles, opting for pure spring water from pitchers. They do not use food products from sources that are endangered or threatened and buy locally whenever practical.
Zest! Of Sarasota became a Sarasota County Green Business Partner in 2008. The Green Business Partnership (GBP) encourages environmental stewardship in the commercial sector, and recognizes businesses that make an extra effort to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. This collaborative effort includes businesses, business organizations and local governments. The GBP was initiated through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Sarasota County.
