First and foremost, the Italian Club is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The Owner is a pleasure, and the atmosphere is soft and allows for good conversation. Everything was clean and up to date, and service was seamless. A great lunch date with my wife. Thanks.

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and experience. We came for the Tuesday date night special, we had an amazing bruschetta customized to our liking by the chef. We had a delicious roasted red pepper soup, hand made of course! Our entrees were to die for, stuffed chicken and salmon with dill sauce. We were so full we had to take the hand made carrot cake home! They pride themselves on buying local and it shows, very fresh food and you can feel the passion they put into their dishes.

Last night was the first time since I moved from Toronto that I went to your restaurant. The food was amazing, loved our pork loin dinners that we took out. The waitress was the sweetest, and so great. Thanks to her , She made me laugh and the whole experience of going to your restaurant was so wonderful

The food is incredible! The portions are big. The staff is amazing. The atmosphere is nice. Great wine. Delicious beer and enjoyable music! What more could you want? How about a Tapas and wine night - because they have that, too! Zee's was even accommodating for our son who has a child's picky palate (his review: best pasta ever). We highly recommend this place.

Amazing experience! I wasn't sure what to expect out of a small restaurant in a strip mall, but, amazing. Reasonably priced for what you get. Food was great. Dining room is cozy. Full bar. Excellent service. They pride themselves on making everything fresh to order so your dining experience will take a while, but it's a nice atmosphere to sit and talk. Have returned a number of time and will continue to return in the future.

Absolutely perfect! I had the surf and turf, steak was cooked perfect medium rare. Scallops and shrimp were tender and seasoned perfectly. Mash potatoes, seasoned perfectly. Carrots and beans, cooked Al dente and properly seasoned. If you appreciate proper food and friendly service, Zee bistro is a must try. Compliments to the chef and thank you for the best meal I ve had in Chatham.

I had dinner here for first time with a friend as I have had lunch here couple of times and had a wonderful experience. Dinner however was disappointing . They had 1 waitress. There were 5 occupied tables so about 14 guests total. We waited like 20 minutes to be served and 1 hour 30 minutes for our entree which was just pasta of the day! When it finally came the waitress actually said we should be prepared for a 1 hour wait because it is a fine dining place not fast food! Waitress never checked on us at all , never offered any toppings for our pasta! Pasta dish had maybe 2 scallops which were sliced .It certainly was not fine. It cost $40. As much as a salmon or steak would cost. It was certainly fine dining prices without the fine dining experience .Disappointing .

Unique food, some of the best homemade sauces out there. Their maple butter is to DIE for. They have a new tapas menu and great options for everyone. Their veggie wrap is one of my faves, along with their pear salad. They even make homemade pasta. Some of the best take-out Ive had in a long time, it was warm and presented very well! Definitely worth trying if you havent already!

Easily our favourite restaurant in Chatham. Food is great, the dining area is small but comfortable. Service is good, but dont expect to be in and out quickly. You will not be out the door and to your movie in 40 min. But if you have the time, and dedicate your evening, youll enjoy the meal much more. We recommend this place to everyone.

Zees catered a lunch event I attended and the meal was great. Everything was delicious, it was on-time, and there were positive comments from everyone.

December 21, 2016

Terrible! Lady who attended to us was rude in so many ways! From the time we got there when i saw her blowing her nose and right after grabbing glasses and such to serve us to her bringing me something different than what i ordered! We were the last people to leave and she was literally dragging tables very noisily, I guess to annoy us to leave even though it was not close time. I have never given an online review on a restaurant before because I am a very easy person and tends to brush things off but I feel the need to write something because I really disliked my experience at this tiny diner that came recommended. I know I will never step foot there again because I didnt enjoy my food either! There are so many other restaurants in Chatham with better food and service!

Small diner that can be tough to get a seat in. Can be hard to find the restaurant if you havent been before. Very good food in a cozy environment.
