My partner and I have done two month-long runs with Zone Manhattan, and we were quite pleased. Contrary to what some reviewers have suggested, we found ZM's customer service folks quickly and effectively responsive. We both lost 20+ pounds in thirty days. And, on the whole, we found the food to be fresh, well-prepared, and tasty. That's not to say it was always so. The diet is a bit repetitive (e.g. about one week's worth of breakfasts that cycle over and over) and some ingredients are too frequently used (e.g. lentils, broccoli rabe). Still, with these minor gripes, we were quite pleased.

Great all around. The food tastes great and the service is right on. I have been getting meals for the last month and I am going to renew for 2 more months. I have not found any reason to complain for the last 30 days and am amazed. The last program I was on just couldn't get it right. I recommend this service for everyone.

I have been with another program for years before finding Zone Manhattan. I can't put into words how happy I have been since starting with Zone Manhattan. I was always under the impression that there was only one Zone program until I tried a phone number I had heard on the radio. I made the switch to Zone Manhattan 2 months ago and signed on to their 60 day special for $34.95 per day and will never look back. The food is much fresher then the other Zone program. I wish I found it first. The flexibility I am allowed in scheduling meals is something new for me. I can schedule meals Monday thru Friday and take days off. I normally don't write reviews but I really recommend Zone Manhattan

I Love the Food and Lost the Weight. I can only say wow. When I first considered a diet program I found it difficult choosing one. I felt like I did my home work by reading the reviews and write up about each program. The one write up that stood out was the the NY Times article that rated ZoneManhattan Com as number one out of all the programs. That made the choice easier and I feel ZoneManhattan Com was exactly what they said. I have been on the program for their 60 day program and will be renewing for their 60 day maintenance program. I have yet to be disappointed and look for ward to using the flexible programs suit my dietary needs.

I am on my second month and the food is even better the second month. The quality has always been top notch but the menu keeps getting more interesting and creative. I got Lobster again today in an enchilada with black rice, it was out of this world. The Lamb chops last night were better then we get at the NYC restaurant. I normally don't write reviews but this service is worth talking about. I Luv it.

I have an allergy to two very common ingredients: milk and wheat. Before my plan started I spoke to the dietitian and asked her if it would be possible for them to design a plan around my allergies, and she said it would be no problem. Their solution was to send me pretty much the same food every day: omelet for breakfast, chicken for lunch and tofu for diner... every day! To make it worse, they actually included products with the ingredients I am allergic to 4 times during my 7 day plan. Every time I called to complain, the person I spoke to from customer service promised he would refund the meal. A few days after my plan ended I called asking why I hadn't received the refund yet and at that point he changed the story and said that they would ""refund me in food"" and give me an extra day. He asked: ""haven't you received the extra food already? You should have received it"" Then he promised me that I would receive the free food the next day. Instead, the food arrived the same evening, when I wasn't expecting it and I had already prepared my food for the next day. I also had problems with the delivery. First of all, they were supposed to deliver the food at 6am, but they came from 12 to 1am instead and left the cooler the entire night outside. When my plan was over, nobody came to pick up the last empty cooler, and even after calling several times and reminding them to do so, nobody came. One day they left the cooler outside my building instead of by the apartment door. The security guard had to call me at 1am to go get my food, which I didn't appreciate. Beware!

I am in my second month and every day is a new treat. The food is out of this world and the creativity keeps me interested, I normally don't write reviews however I can't say enough about this service. First rate, best price. They are very flexible and allow me to schedule my meals to fit my needs. Again I highly recommend Zone Manhattan.

First, please notice that while the average rating for Zone Manhattan is high, over 20% of reviewers give it 2 stars or less as of the time of my writing this review!. The food itself is elegantly presented and fresh. Many meals are very good, but that's where the quality ends. Several menu items that I specifically excluded from my diet when I signed up for 10 days were included in my meals. Some of the meals, while they looked beautiful, were sub par. For example, the beautifully sliced steak was so chewy, it was inedible - no exaggeration - it was physically impossible to chew it enough so that it could be comfortably swallowed! Here's the BIG problem: I called the office over 10 times during my 10 days on the plan to discuss my dissatisfaction. I never got in touch with anyone who could help me. I spoke a few times with a low level employee who assured me I would get a call from someone who could respond to my complaints. I never got an answer! I also emailed the company five times and again - no response. And because they require several days notice, I couldn't even cancel! Reader, before signing up with the program, think how FRUSTRATED and IMPOTENT you will feel if you have any problem whatsoever and never get a response from the company.

Fresh Lobster Salad on a diet? I didn't believe it when I got my first days meal delivery. The meals are fresher then expected and on my 7th day I have't had a bad one. I have just renewed for a longer commitment and am looking forward to my diet for the first time on one of these programs. I recommend this program.

I have been with Zone Manhattan for 3 weeks and have been waiting to write this review because I had never been with a plan that had been so consistently fresh. I have been with a few other programs and it always seems that the first week is the best and then things go down hill quickly. I have been very impressed with Zone Manhattan. The food is always fresh and well prepared. I think the meal are creative and reflect the season and I have never had so much lobster in my meal program before. I recommend this service to anyone that enjoy food and is very busy like me.

I was on Five Squares for four months and Zone Manhattan for one month. The quality of the ZM food is very good, and the snacks are oftentimes very inventive. My problem with ZM was the lack of variety in the lunches and dinners. Dinner, every night, was fish and vegetables. Again, good quality, but the same thing every night. Lunches were often similar. Breakfasts were better, though there seem to be 7 or so basic breakfasts that get rotated. Given how inventive the snacks are, I wish they could translate that talent and variety into their dinners. Five Squares has a lot more variety, and I was able to stick with it for four months before it started to become old hat and I needed a break. On the other hand, Five Squares does not give you dessert, which ZM does, and does not give you very much fresh fruit or any yogurt (unless you're on the dairy plan). I liked the frut and yogurt that came with ZM, and the sweet fix.

I have done a few different Zone programs in the past, but none have been as good as Zone Manhattan. The quality of the meals was out standing and I was able to schedule my meal program to fit my busy work week. I do travel a lot and as long as I gave proper notice I could take the day off that I was not in town. I didn't loss any of my meals they were added to the end of my program. It was the convenience that drew me to Zone Manhattan and the quality that kept me here. I recommend this program for anyone that needs the convenience of a healthy meal delivered to your door.

I am really happy with this program. I have been receiving service for 2 months now and it has been easy to do because for the great food. I have tried one or two other services but can't stick to it because food is boring. Not on this program. I have had great dishes like Lobster Salad and Maryland Lump Crab Cakes. I can't recommend this program enough. If you are looking for a program to stick to this is the one.

I wasn't aware that a service like this existed. I've tried other programs and they were far to structured for me. I couldn't postpone days or take time off. The food was always the same boring chicken and carrots. Not Zone Manhattan, They have been able to provide a service that designs a program around me and my needs. I have just completed my first month and renewed for my second. They have taken the head ache out of my meal planing and I am always eating healthy. Love It !!!!!!!!! Thanks Zone Manhattan

Zone Manhattan is wonderful. Fresh food delivered daily. NOTE: They claim they do deliveries between 5am & 6am HOWEVER it is usually between 12am & 3am. But the food is great and I lost 20lbs(without exercise) the first time around (i did the 31 day plan). Im just about to start it again in two days and I cant wait. I loved the pancakes & turkey bacon, and chicken/avocado wrap over salad. All the dinners were great, but sometimes I would use a tsp or two of balsamic vinegar to give the dinners a little more flavor. The paperwork advised me to drink plenty of water, so I drank about 100 oz a day. Also, after dinner at night I would munch on a few unsalted almonds or red grapes with a little fat free cool whip. Also, I used to get headaches and stomach aches all the time, but when I was on this diet, I felt so great, and wasn't sick the whole time. As a side note: they are great with communication through email, and although I got a little frustrated with their phone lines (I keep getting disconnected or no ring tone) someone called me back! (they saw my number on the caller ID) and they were so friendly and accommodating! Good luck to all who try. ^_^ It is expensive, but definitely worth it.

My goal for the summer was to lose weight and actually KEEP IT OFF. So I ordered zone Manhattan for 31 days and loved it so much I renewed twice so far! All the weight I’ve lost stays off. I feel amazing and I love the food! It is so fresh and is created for me individually. I don’t eat fish, and am a little picky with my vegetables but they were more than accommodating. I also got a sweet snack everyday, cakes, mousse, strudels, and smoothies. I would recommend Zone Manhattan to anyone looking to lose weight or change their eating habits.

Desperate to lose some weight healthily, i signed up for Zone Manhattan. Although I was always skeptical of delivery diets, thinking they were more of a quick fix than a permanent solution, I must admit that zone manhattan has changed my mind! It is all fresh, nothing processed or pre-packaged. I have learned a lot about portion sizes & about what I should be eating. I highly recommend this program. I feel great, and look even better!

I am halfway through my 31 day program and so far it has been nothing but GREAT! The food is delicious- Fresh, flavorful and filling. They say you are what you eat- and by eating these healthy meals- I feel so much healthier- Alert, with more energy throughout the day with high levels of energy prior to my exercise program. A friend had recommended me- in which she in fact lost 10 pounds while on a 31 day program. I am absolutely delighted with the program. Good for an athlete like me; to maintain a good physique. Great for anyone looking to lose a few pounds and eat healthy for a change. I certainly recommend Zone Manhattan to anyone interested in fresh food delivery.

I started with Zone Manhattan for 14 days, figuring I would loose a few pounds before Memorial Day Weekend, and though I would just stop after that and ""watch what I eat"". I ended up falling in LOVE with the program and renewed for a month. I lost more weight than I though was possible, and to tell you the truth, I actually enjoy eating the meals! They have such creative and colorful dishes, that are all fresh. I was able to tell them exactly what i do not like to eat, before I even started, so I never had to worry about getting things I knew I wouldn't enjoy. The portions are perfect, and it really keeps me full all day!

I have been with zone manhattan for almost two weeks. I originally signed up for only 7 days. After 2 days of good service and good food, I called back and changed to a 31 day program. I enjoyed the sweet maine lobster salad a great deal. The mixed berry parfait made me feel like a kid at coney island, delicious!!! This is the best service by far.(Trust me, I know, I have tried the rest). Anything I received that I did not like, I was able to call them and a change was made. AND my weight loss is going just great. So far 12 and a half pounds and counting. Whew!!\r
