"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
"The Northwest Austin American restaurant is all about dessert, which includes pie thankfully. Options include the coconut cream pie, key lime pie, and the Kahlua crunch pie. Then there’s the sharable apple pie made with Granny Smith apples. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Plan the next birthday party in your life for this restaurant, with cakes that absolutely wow. The Chocolate Decadence cake is layered with raspberry preserves and mocha mousse is always top-notch, and the lemon-rosemary cake with cream cheese frosting is heavenly. Whole cakes are available to order online with 48-hours notice; takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Courtney E. Smith
"With twinkle lights, eclectic art, and a very tempting dessert case, the West Austin American restaurant will certainly provide guests with a complete feast in multiple private and semi-private dining rooms. Parties of up to 40 can book a semi-private room in the restaurant, while groups of up to 100 can enjoy the Gallery with its own entrance, bar, and audio-visual systems." - Erin Russell
