"Chez Zee, a longtime West Austin favorite, serves a stacked dessert menu full of old-school charm. There’s torched-to-order creme brulee, hefty apple, Key lime, coconut, bourbon pecan pies, and towering layer cakes. Lined with a combination of raspberry preserves and mocha mousse and covered with a dark chocolate ganache, the two-layered Chocolate Decadence Cake is an experience you’ll want to share. Expect a whimsical, eclectic dining room with plenty of personality." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A glow of twinkle lights, bold artwork, and a dessert case-as-art installation set the tone at this West Austin New American restaurant, where private events feel both stylish and welcoming. Diners can choose from several private and semi-private dining spaces, including a semi-private room that accommodates up to 60 people and the Gallery, which seats up to 150, with features like a separate entrance, bar, AV setup, and a small stage with a podium that’s ideal for speeches, performances, or toasts. Despite the French-sounding name, the menu leans comfort-forward, with favorites like chicken-fried steak, burgers, and a standout brunch featuring its signature crème brûlée French toast." - Darcie Duttweiler
