    We never have a bad meal here. It is one of the only places in Austin where they still serve prime rib. It's only on Friday nights though.

    During a busy Friday evening our service was impeccable. We never felt rushed. Our server was busy but most attentive. A delightful pre-theater dinner!!

    The only negative was that it was excessively noisy in the dining area making table conversation difficult.

    Had a great lunch with friends at Chez Zee today. Service was wonderful provided by our server, Wesley. I had the Blueberry Bleu Salad with Pecan Chicken. It was awesome. Friends had the soup special and the shrimp chowder/bisque. We will all definitely go back!

    Every time I make a reservation through open table, my group gets placed in the outer area. And each time there are little to no patrons in the main dining area. They place each new arriving group in the outer room where the tables are closely arranged and it quickly becomes noisy. Waiter tonight acted like he could care less about being there. Been coming here for 30 years. What used to be one of my favorites restaurants is becoming less so. Have finally decided it’s time to start looking for alternatives when dining in the area.

    One of my favorite restaurants to get together with girlfriends or family for holidays or celebrations. The food is plentiful and delicious and the deserts are to die for. Always save room for it! Rana was our server and was very attentive and personable.
