    I was very pleased with service, food and wait staff was very helpful and attentive. We came with my granddaughter, a toddler 4 years old. She loved the little side booth she sat in at the table with us . It made her feel special. Also she love the out door decor too! We definitely will come again. Thank you Chez Zee for making us feel so special!

    This is a go-to for family celebrations. The vibe is funky/festive, the food is good, cocktails beautiful, desserts spectacular...and it's kid-friendly while maintaining a good, grown-up vibe. My only complaint after being there for 2 big birthdays in our family is that our 10-year old birthday girl didn't get a choice on her birthday-comped dessert. Lemon rosemary cake is yummy - but strawberry would have made our kiddo happier! We'll pay for birthday dessert next time.

    Wonderful food at a long standing eclectic place with its unique decor and broad menu. Got great raves from the family. Service was a little slow - I think they are understaffed but still recommend!
