    We usually really enjoy this restaurant, but tonight we were unable to converse with our friends because the electric guitar was much too loud. Rather than play good music, the guitarist simply pounded the same base chords over and over again. We asked our waiter to "turn down the sound," but it continued to ruin our dinner.

    Chez Zee is lovely and special especially in December, with the lights and Christmas decorations. Wesley was our waiter, and he did a very good job taking care of us. We were glad to have a table that didn’t have a lot of noise around us, near the red piano.

    Brunch at Chez Zee is always delicious and this time was no exception. The flavors in the Shrimp and Grits all blended very nicely and the waffle was loaded with pecans. It was busy when we were there but our waitress, Sarah, was helpful and efficient. She kept our cups full with a friendly smile. Chez Zee is good for a meal or stopping in for dessert and coffee.

    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.
