Custom preparation for fish we caught while deep sea fishing. Enjoyed Mahi Mahi prepared three ways. Reasonable price and beyond belief taste. Cannot wait to return!

I'd bet my first born that you will not be disappointed!

Simply the best meal you will eat in Costa Rica. Many meal options . . .if you don't see it on the menu exactly the way you want it, make a request and Chef Richie will tailor to your wishes. Not only will you have a devastatingly delicious meal but you'll make friends with the owners.

The best Chef in Costa Rica !

I ate at the Lemon Zest 4 times in the 6 nights I spent in Jaco. I had meals ranging from Alfredo Pasta to Southern Style Pork Chops. I am not sure how Rich, the Owner/Head Chef knows how to make so many different sauces. He is a sauce making fool for sure ! He could work any where in the world at any restaurant. I also ate at the Lemon Zest in November for Thanksgiving. His knowledge of meat preparation is also equally outstanding. My compliments to the Chef ! Ric8570, Philly, PA

Simply the best place in Jaco to eat!

Simple and straight forward - eat here first and then come again the next evening. Great food and presentation. Nice people. My only criticism would be that the restaurant needs to do something to squelch the noise by perhaps placing fabrics on the walls or noise dinning objects throughout the space. I don't mind hearing other people, but it got pretty loud the night I was there. Lemon Zest is a little hard to find but well worthwhile once you do!

Simply the Best

My wife and I opted to visit Costa Rica during the three day President's Day weekend - as well as to enjoy Valentine's Day away from the hustle-bustle of our life and jobs in Miami. Based upon reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided to try Lemon Zest. It did not just met expectations - it far exceeded them. We started with the Poki appetizer and both had the fish special - which was Dorado. It was fresh, well presented and delicious. For desert we had a peanut butter ice cream pie - which was to die for. Service was excellent. After the meal, the owner stopped by the table to chat with us and talk about our vacation. Its the personal experience which sets this place apart from the rest (not to mention the innovative cooking). Put simply, this isn't one of the better restaurants in Jaco or in Costa Rica. . . its one of the best you will ever experience. Come with an appetite and leave happy. Pura Vida !
