Reviews for Chez Zee American Bistro in Austin, TX
Went for a birthday dinner. Service was pretty great. Food was good but a bit pricey considering we couldn't make modifications.... We had a pre set menu and a per plate/person amount with gratiity and dessert included so the regular menu might have been morepromising. Overall it was a good time at a decent place. Read more
My first visit and Brunch today was AMAZING… I am glad I looked at the menu before I arrived because with all of the great... offerings I may have taken a long time to make a choice… First let me say, EVERYTHING I read about the starter croissant andstrawberry butter is true- DELISH! Now, I decided on the Polenta Benedict and boy I am glad I did! I am a foodie and enjoytrying new things, and this dish hit all the right notes. I was able to substitute the sausage, since It came with bacon, forthe country potatoes, perfect choice! I also added the Pomegranate Lemon Mimosa, and it was ‘strong’ like a brunch drinkshould be, lol. The waitress Joi, I think, was from Midland and was super sweet! She recommends I come back for dinner, andafter the amazing brunch, I will absolutely take her up on that offer… #iwillbeback Read more
We were smart enough to came a few min after the opening and were invited to the table right away with our server, Kyle,... greeting us shortly after. Although i came specifically for a chicken and waffle, the extensive menu was luring my attentionwith other appetizing offerings. We appreciated in-house made croissants with lovely pre-mixed butter and jam. The restaurant isvery spacious as well as decorative, a house of an artist, I might say. All our orders came in a reasonable time of being cookedto an order and were delicious. We left with a good feeling of being welcomed and valued. Read more
This food was utterly amazing! Howard was attentive and very polite and nice. You do have to book reservations since they are... short staffed. There was live piano which I thought was so cute. Will come here again there are so many good desserts andentrees to try. My family and I came here for mother's day (mom picked this place) and we went home with 3 cheesecakes. Theywere delicious.

Where do I begin! Chez Zee made the most spectacular three-tiered gluten-free dairy-free wedding cake. They created the recipe... from scratch and it tasted even better than it looked, incredibly! They went completely above and beyond our expectations anddelivered a cake that our guests chased around the venue and are still talking about today. Thank you for making my wedding dayso sweet and for creating such a groundbreaking wedding cake! Our gluten-free and vegan friends were so excited! Read more

Cozy place with great food and drinks. The restaurant is large with a very old style but tasteful decor. The outdoor patio... looked great and thats where we preferred to dine. The service was great, the food was delicious, including the dessert. Thedrinks were unique and nice - i like that they left the shaker with the drink - so it's like getting two drinks for one. Overallgreat experience Read more
This is a best kept secret of Austin. The menu is diverse, something for anyone. There's a fresh bakery on-site. The... establishment is not kosher but they do have challah bread. The foods are made fresh and they acknowledge food allergies, justbe careful bc the kitchen doesn't know what cross-contamination means and will likely mess up with basic line items (i.e.butter,sour cream, etc). The entire time I was there with my food allergy, the manager never came to acknowledge my food issue ofcross-contaminated butter (so I had a dry waffle) but the food without the accoutrement was still delicious! I have a uniqueallergy which most restaurant managers come to acknowledge and ensure the team knows what's going on. I recommend thisrestaurant, but if have food allergies make sure to be very specific about your food; its annoying but necessary. The lemonpomme mimosa, was good (SIGNIFICANTLY OVER PRICED), but good. Grits were a bit over peppered and the bacon (while good) wasalso EXTREMELY OVER PRICED. The ambiance is great inside and out but the fight with the flying insects outside made itdifficult to enjoy. I would suggest the restaurant invest in fly strips and traps. Overall, a long as you take your walletyou'll have a great time! This place is not cheap! Read more
