    First time at Chez Zee. Cute restaurant. It had a nice enclosed front porch which was very sunny. The food was good, large portions. I would make reservation. It was very crowded.

    This was my first time here and absolutely loved it. Jessica was a great server, with a great attitude and made sure we were taken care of throughout our meals with no issue. The ambience was good, busy but thats expected for a Saturday night. Food was delicious but dessert was even better!!! 10/10

    A Fantastic Experience at Chez Zee Our meetup group has been a long-time fan of Chez Zee, and for good reason. From the mouthwatering food to the exceptional service, it’s a place we can always count on for a memorable dining experience. Today, we had the pleasure of visiting again, and their recent renovations truly stood out, bringing a modern and refreshed vibe to the space. The dining room now features brand-new carpets, fresh paint, and a vibrant new look that elevates the entire atmosphere. These updates perfectly complement the top-notch service and hospitality we've come to love, making the experience even more inviting and enjoyable. When it comes to service, the team at Chez Zee continues to impress. They did a phenomenal job accommodating our group of 10 ladies, ensuring we all felt comfortable and well taken care of. Managing a large group with varied tastes isn’t easy, but the staff made it feel effortless - even when I needed to change our guest count. And, of course, the fried pickles were a standout—crispy, tangy, and seasoned just right. Our group indulged in a variety of brunch options, paired with delicious brunch cocktails. Everything was a hit, from the rich Goat Cheese Omelette to the indulgent Lobster & Shrimp Omelette, the classic Lobster Benedict, and a few tasty quiche options. The Migas also stood out as a flavorful choice, loved by everyone at the table. As someone who runs meetup groups in the Austin area, I always search for restaurants that can comfortably accommodate larger parties. It’s a breath of fresh air when a restaurant is not only accommodating but also service-oriented, ensuring that a group of 10-12 feels welcomed and valued. Chez Zee consistently exceeds expectations in this regard, making it our top choice for group gatherings.

    One of our favorite restaurants but extremely loud. It’s very hard to have a quiet conversation. We love the food and service
