- MMistivipHouston •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoNice Sunday afternoon vibe when I visited. Music was more like a DJ spinning tunes but I didn’t see one if there was. We were seated near the bar at a nice table for two. Server was friendly and knowledgeable, and our food arrived quickly. Everything was delicious! There were two birthday tables seated next to me and we were happy to join in when the waitstaff sang to them. I feel like we were there during a shift change because around 4:00 the music went into a very contemplative and somber tune and our server disappeared. Another server closed our ticket so no worries there. In all, it was a good atmosphere and excellent food so I will return.More infoYamas AustinPrice: Expensive• Greek• Austin•4.5
- CCindyHouston •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe went there for my birthday and they really made it special. The food and drinks were very good and they put a small Happy Birthday sign and ribbons on our table. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. He was very helpful recommending different items. And they gave us a free dessert. I think it's a great restaurant, especially for special occasions! The ambience is wonderful!More infoChez ZeePrice: Moderate• American• Northwest•4.7
