    Outstanding, as always! Had the beef tenderloin with asparagus, carrots, roasted potatoes and pepper sauce. Absolute delicious! Service was excellent and the atmosphere delightful…. except for a few mosquitoes …

    The food is excellent. The potatoe gallette is justifiably famous. For the price though, the hot chocolate was nothing special. Wonderful ambience - nice and relaxed.

    Food was excellent- served hot and quickly. Service was great- on time and a sense of humor. Traffic noise was a bit annoying but not the restaurants fault. Server (OLga) seemed to know the specials and a good idea of each dish when asked. Washroom downstairs may be an issue for some with mobility issues.

    The ceasar salad was drenched in dressing and terrible and the waitress had a very poor and conceited attitude toward the complaint. We will never go there again. I've been there before and the food was always soso and Service slow. But this was really a terrible experience. Onlyxthe location can explain customers return.

    The short rib was flavorful, but too fatty. The halibut was very dry so they did bring out more sauce.

    Overall it was a very good dinner experience, the wait staff was very informative and friendly. Food wise, the Charcuterie plate we order had a few misses. The walnut was a bit stale, and the Prosciutto was cut too thick thus a bit tough to eat; and the grapes weren't clean. The Beef Short Ribs were excellent, tasty and tender; and portion was great!

    Husband and I went with two friends. We are all regular restaurant goers Found the food to be mediocre. We had four different entrées and three different appetizers. We thought we’d give this restaurant a try as we were at Shaw theater. We won’t be back! We live in the area and they are just too many other good restaurants around.

    I booked this resturant for lunch. When we arrived the greeting was quite rude. However, things actually went downhill from here. We were seated and given menus. One of the party is vegeatrian so we asked for the vegetarin options to be told there wasn't any! Peter made a point in saying that there was an option on the evening menu but he wouldn't be able to do this at lunch. He did offer to make a plain salad and rice but we would be charged for the full meal!! we asked as the food is cooked fresh could the chef not adapt something? But no that wasn't an option so he told us to try another restaurant!!!! We went to the Thai next door - which was amazing and I would highly recommend!!!

    Zee's Grill is a great choice for not only a great meal but has the best proximity to the Shaw Festival Theatre making for a quick and easy transition to the performance. Options for indoor or outdoor dining give some welcome flexibility depending on the weather.

    The food and atmosphere at Zee's Grill is good. The service was not anything to write home about (going through the motions). It is totally overpriced for the area. Would not return as there are better meals options in Niagara on the Lake at a much lower cost. The only real thing to recommend this restaurant is it's proximity to 2 of the Shaw Festival theatres. It was very empty the evening we were there.

    We had an early dinner following the show. The location is good as it's a two min walk from the theatre. The menu is limited and the quality of the food terrible. Two guests had the Ribs which were boiled and +50% fat, disgusting. The third guest had the Chicken Marsala which was tasteless and the fourth had the Caesar Salad which was not great containing mostly the white / light leaves of the romaine lettuce. The service was ok and although we told the server the food was not up to par, she did not offer an apology or options to rectify the situation. Very disappointing experience overall and will not go back.

    Food was great but our food took an hour and 40 min to come out. Also, we are tequila drinker and they only had José Cuervo. No clear tequila. Being an upscale restaurant, they should have standard liquor choices.

    It was a little noisy on the porch when we were seated but it got quieter as people left. I thought the tenderloin wasn't very good- especially for the price but the service and presentation were excellent. I would return.

    If you are going to the Shaw Festival Theatre then Zees is a great location across the street from theatre. Ambience and service was good. Food very basic. I am pretty sure my hamburger came out of a warming tray, luke warm. I would not recommend because there are other restaurants offering a better quality of food.

    We booked this restaurant because it was close to the Shaw theater. The grounds were pretty and we ate on the covered porch. We were seated right at the door which was unacceptable so we asked to be moved and selected a table at the corner., athere were 4 of us and we had short ribs, filet mignon and 2 lamb shanks All were expertly prepared. The service was excellent. The wine selection was fair by the glass which was disappointing given we were in wine country. Overall a very dood experience.

    Dinner was scrumptious! The beef rib was huge and melt in your mouth moist. My wife had the seafood bowl and said it was great. Very generous portions. Perfect location for a meal prior to a festival or stoicism or spiegletent production.

    We were promptly seated after seeing a play at Shaw Festival. Our server was very friendly and helpful as well. My husband and I ordered each a glass of very tasty red wine. I highly recommend the Adamo Redhead Pinot Noir. The cauliflower flower soup was amazing. The cheese board was perfect!!! Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. We will definitely be returning in the future.
