Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Chez Zee delights with its "delicious food" and "attentive service." Patrons rave about the "crème brûlée French toast" and diverse menu offerings. The atmosphere is cozy, enhanced by live piano music. While some note occasional noise, the restaurant's charm and "neighborhood gem" status make it a beloved Austin favorite.

    The food was delicious as usual. I always order the Belaire Hotel Salad -- so fresh and tasty. It's hard to resist dessert. I can recommend the Lemon Rosemary cake. It's so yummy! This is one of my favorite Austin restaurants.

    Everything was excellent from the complimentary warm fresh croissants with strawberry butter to the Crab Cake Benedict with perfectly poached eggs and delicious coffee. Our server Megan was pleasant and on top of everything. Will definitely go back again next time we are in town.

    Food was excellent. Service was good. Sadly, there were 3 full tables in our section and we were all right next to each other. Several empty tables in the same section. It would have been nice to spread out a little. It wouldn't have been so loud.

    This is by far my favorite place to have brunch. The waffles are to die for and they make a killer michelada. Four stars for the food only because I strayed off the waffle path and tried the crème brûlée French toast and it was disappointing. It was dry, too dense, and seemed stale. Every single other thing I’ve had there has been great, though. I’ll be going back as often as possible.
