    Our family of seven had a wonderful birthday breakfast at Chez Zee. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was uplifting and our service from Morgan was pleasant and perfect. We recommend Chez Zee for important family occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.

    We 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!

    The food and service were excellent. The only complaint that I would have is that the piano was being played very loudly and we could hardly hear ourselves talk.

    The food was scrumptious & desert was delicious. I had the trout that melted in your mouth & their signature Lemon Lavender cake was both tart & sweet. Our waiter Aaron was both knowledgeable about the menu & attentive to our needs. I recommend Chez Zee for a pleasurable evening of dining.
