    We celebrated my wife's birthday at Chez Zee, and everything was all one could hope for. The food was delicious, and the server was exceptional. We enjoy them for "everyday" meals, but this one was really special.

    Birthday supper was a bit of a bust at this old favorite which our family has enjoyed since it opened. Portion sizes are smaller while prices are higher. They no longer provide complimentary bread. Two of the meals were missing items listed on the menu. They brought them later, but that is careless. The carrot cake was half the size and the icing was overly sweet and grainy. We were seated next to a noisy table and it was tough to hear. There was plenty of space open to spread out patrons. On the plus side, it’s still a cute place and service was pleasant except for the host who ignored us while he read some note and took a while to seat us.

    The food and wait service was great. However, we made reservations and were not seated until almost an hour after the reservation time. The restaurant should not have allowed us the ability to reserve in OpenTable for our allotted time if there was going to be a predictable long wait (over 15 minutes). The restaurant did acknowledge the error with complementary appetizers and drinks.

    My partner and I ordered the Mediterranean Pasta and the Tequila Lime Chicken as our mains. Both dishes were well-portioned and tasted good, but were not anything we would specifically crave to go back for. We also ordered the Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake and Creme Brulee for dessert, both of which were fine. Overall, the food was decent. They were very busy and our waiter was rather inattentive. As a result, the overall dining experience took much longer than it needed to. Also, there were a lot of children, some of which were crying and making a lot of fuss. I understand there is not anything the restaurant can do about that, but just a word of caution for anyone looking for a quiet romantic date night - this is a very family-friendly vibe and children will be there.

    Visited town to take our Longhorn to a birthday dinner. Food was delicious - the apple pie was a standout. They had decorated the table for his birthday too which was a nice touch. Dylan, our server was great! We will definitely return. Loved the music but also that we were still able to talk.

    I've been going to Chez Zee for many years. Have not been there in awhile, so I planned a brunch to meet up with some old friends. It's still a great place for brunch, food was amazing. I tried their gluten free pancakes and they were so delicious with the consistency and taste like regular pancakes. Everything else was just like I remember and our waiter was fantastic! I will definitely not let so much time pass before I dine there again.

    We had a fantastic experience @ Chez Zee. From the moment we got their we were treated like family. The service was top notch and very attentive, yet not intrusive. The food came to the table very quickly with great presentation equal to the quantity of food. Everything was cooked to perfection. The desserts were delicious although none of us could finish due to the large portions. We never felt rushed and could relax and catch up with old friends. My friends who live in Austin say that this is their go to as you get the same quality experience every time they go. Well done Chez Zee, we will be back!

    They were running pretty far behind so we still waited 30 minutes or so after our reservation time, and then it took a while for the server to get to us, but the food was great and came out fast once we finally got to order.

    Had to wait over 15 minutes past our reservation time to be seated at a table. Once seated, we were ignored for at least 5 minutes before we were greeted by a server. Once we ordered, the food came quickly and was very good. But the overall experience was average at best because it seemed like the service team was stretched too thinly.
