    Not our best experience at Chez Zee. Restaurant was no more than 25% full when we arrived yet we were given a table in a hallway right next to the server stand. Our eggs were over cooked. Server never offered to refill my coffee. We have been a customer ever since it became Chez Zee and this has been our first complaint but on this day it was off.

    Excellent all around, as usual. This is hands down the best place in Austin to have a real brunch. With 3 different flavors of mimosas too!

    Celebrated my birthday with Chez Zee and it was fantastic! From the moment I sat down at the table decorated with birthday wishes to the never ending birthday wishes from our waitress Christina and other staff and the complimentary dessert, which arrived before our entree (chef’s kiss for this timing), Chez Zee knows how to make you feel extra special. Oh! And the food was delicious! HIGHLY recommend and thank you Christina for your exceptional hospitality ❤️

    I've had better experiences here. My food was "ok- good". The creme brulee French Toast was a little dry, still good, but not out of this world. I will still come back but if it's off the mark again it may be the last time. Food came out sort of chaotic, different server, he didn't know who had what. Eggs ordered over easy came scrambled, no syrup for my waffle, just felt a little frazzled in there.

    It’s always great. Yesterday the restaurant was particularly loud. It was not ideal for us since we were dining with my elderly mother.
