    The French toast platter with fruit and nuts is delicious and filling. The Latte was good. Often we get cocktails at brunch and like the mimosas. We had great service, excellent food and the restaurant is charming.

    My friend and I had a fabulous brunch at this lovely old restaurant. She had a breakfast platter with over easy eggs and buttermilk pancakes—huge! I had a poached eggs on artichoke bottoms with bed of creamed spinach and roasted potatoes. The sauces were absolutely delicious. I am recommending to all my friends and family! Don’t miss this long time favorite.

    Ches Zee is always a great choice for me. Even if the dish, as on this visit, does not turn out to be one of my favorites it is well prepared and well presented. The server was friendly and attentive, answering all our questions knowledgeably. The restaurant decor and vibe is “Austin”. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. This is one of my go-to restaurants.

    Love this place. Brought out of town guests and they loved it too! One 4/5 due to my quiche crust being a little burnt, but the filling was delicious and very light and fluffy. Everything else at our table was superb!

    I ordered the trout. It had a very strong fish taste which it should not have. I returned it and ordered a hamburger which was fine. When I go out to eat a hamburger is not what I want to order, but I did not want to slow up the others in our group. They enjoyed the dishes that they ordered.

    I was very disappointed the last two times I came here ( after many years of satisfaction) but this time I was so pleased by the food, the service and the ambiance. Our food and the service were excellent. I do wish they would do individual receipts but we all ordered the same thing so it was not an issue. This reminded me of what a jewel this old favorite of mine this restaurant is. It was great!

    Our party of 4 was seated away from the piano as requested in our reservations. This was due to a hearing problem, not anything about the piano playing. We ordered two appetizers, the kabobs, and the crab cakes. They were both lovely, but the kabobs were really yummy. We each had a different entree and dessert, and they were all well presented and tasty. Our waitstaff was attentive and did not rush us. Thanks for a great night.
