One of my new favorite spots in uptown Austin. Food, service, and ambiance were all spot on. The most notable dishes were the 36hr ribs, which were fall off the bone tender and absolutely delicious, and the pecking duck and shrimp fried rice which was a unique and complex dish. Our server, Cale, did a great job with both recommendations and general service. We sat outside, and despite it being freezing, their covered patio was very comfortable with plenty of fire pits and heaters to keep us warm. Overall, I highly recommend and will definitely be back!

We enjoy going to Chez Zee, a cozy Austin original, for Sunday brunch. The breakfast is always a cut above the rest. All the waiters are so very friendly and accommodating. We also enjoy the live piano music in the background. All of it makes for a very pleasant Sunday morning.

Server was proactive, attentive without being overly so, and the view was very enjoyable. Got slightly loud when the doors to the exterior came down, but nothing unusual for a Saturday night. Busy without being too crowded. Staff was pleasant from start to finish.

This is the closest restaurant to my office, and I have to exercise restraint to not eat here several times a week. Pizza is shockingly good. Go Wednesday for the special chicken parmigiana.
