    Overall an exceptional brunch experience. We were celebrating our first anniversary, and Chez Zee made us feel so special. From the time we dropped the car with the valet, they went out of their way to welcome us and celebrate with us. Extra table decor and a free bite of creme brulee french toast made it all the more amazing. Thanks for celebrating with us!

    I decided to have my birthday brunch with some friends and chose Chez Zee since it'd been a while. As always I love the chill but intimate vibe the space presents and the food. Oh man! I had the Breakfast in Bread and mimosas and everything was divine. I also loved that they decorated the table with a sign and decorations for my birthday. It was a treat to do this with my friends. The service was impeccable and I can't wait to come back!

    Me and my family are frequent dinners at Chez Zee and we love it. So we were highly disappointed with our experience today. We made a reservation today @1:30 pm to sit and eat we arrived early and got seated immediately. We sat and wait for our server to acknowledge us for 20 minutes, after 20 minutes she told us that she would be with us right after she dropped the drinks off to her other table. She then passed by our table three more times and didn’t come to us once to even get us water or anything. Overall just highly disappointed with the lack of service from the moment we arrived, so we left without being helped at all

    First time at Chez Zee. Cute restaurant. It had a nice enclosed front porch which was very sunny. The food was good, large portions. I would make reservation. It was very crowded.
