- MMadiDallas - Fort Worth •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoLong-time favorite. Latest visit was to celebrate an anniversary -- which we noted in the reservation and the restaurant made it very special, from adorning the table with some decorative touches, a Happy Anniversary placard, and even a special dessert to make the occasion even sweeter. Service is always on-point, food is delicious, and the ambiance is charming. In a city where new restaurants and dining spots are coming and with the latest fads, this place is a tried-&-true institution that sticks to its roots! And for that, I always enjoy my meal and my visit and will continue to return. This place is as special as the reason to celebrate!More infoChez ZeePrice: Moderate• American• Northwest•4.7
