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

    Pretty decent. My aunt wasn't a fan of the Louisiana crusted pecan chicken meal. She said it had no flavor and the sides. She was looking forward to some flavor and seasoning which it lacked.

    We were very pleased with our experience at Chez Zee for a birthday luncheon. This restaurant has been around for 35 years and is always a delight! Everyone enjoyed their entrée, coffee, drinks, and the slices of cake for dessert. From being seated immediately on upon arriving, with festivities on our table announcing a birthday, and the efficient staff are all reasons to come back. Parking is a little challenging for big cars, but this is the location. I will always love.
