We stopped in for lunch while exploring Niagara on the Lake. It was a great choice! We were forewarned that our food may take up to 30 minutes to arrive due to an influx of theater patrons. We opted to wait it out and were pleasantly surprised to receive our order within less that 10 minutes. My wife and I both ordered the turkey sandwich and spent an inordinate amount of time reminiscing about how good it was. The portion and freshness of the meat was quite impressive.

Mark our server was great , the tenderloin was tender and cooked perfectly. The Lamb shank fell off the bone tender and the sweet potato purée was amazing. The only fault was the ceasar salad...the cut ends of the lettuce was brown....not what you would expect.

Best tenderloin steak we've had in years! Asparagus could have used about another minute but it was still good. Lovely cheesecake to finish off. We hope to be back again, even though it's a five hour drive to get here.

Our meals were delicious, and the service was outstanding! We go to the shows at the Shaw Festival Theater quite often, and this restaurant is a short walk across the street. We will definitely be returning!
William
They changed the turkey sandwich. Really dummied it down from what we had last summer. Then it was a 9/10. This time a 6/10. Now the other two guests really enjoyed their lunches, steak and Frits and fish tacos. But two of us were disappointed, hence only three stars.

Zees never disappoints! My wife and I typically eat there before a show, and we had another great experience. The drinks were well made and refreshing on a hot summer day, and the meals were even better (chicken for my wife, shrimp risotto for me). No complaints!

Fantastic experience
Meryl
Very pleasant covered veranda plus outdoor patio and indoor dining room; staff and service were excellent. Location very close to Festival Theatre and staff are used to ensuring diners get to their performance on time, even with the new earlier performance times. Parking at the back. Menu is perfect for lunch.

Our server Kim was outstanding, explaining everything in detail. She was very knowledgeable about the area. Our food was very good and the portions were large. The only drawback or the evening was an intoxicated customer that was loud, which slightly dampened our meal.
Darlene
Lovely restaurant in the heart of NOTL. I have been there many times and have not been disappointed . Across the street from Shaw Festival theatre.
Very good - tried the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich. Ranch and spices slathered on the sandwich and a healthy amount of fries.
Andrew
This is our favorite restaurant in NOL for a pre-theatre meal! The restaurant is lovely, the service efficient, friendly, and accommodating, and the food well-prepared and presented. And it is directly (as in a one-minute stroll) across from Shaw's Festival Theatre! Hard to beat!
George
Food was terrible. $54 for cold, poorly prepared, dinners. Tasteless. Eating on a cheap plastic table-not even a place mat-extremely noisy, took 40 minutes to get out meal. We live here and never will go back.
Paul
We always look forward to Zee's before a show at the Shaw, food is great and menu is changed often enough to always be interesting - Service is outstanding and fun - especially Jenn and Laura.

For the second year in a row, we had our anniversary dinner here. They helped us celebrate with 2 complimentary glasses of champagne, and as I had mentioned my wife is a non-drinker, they gave her a non-alcoholic bubbly! Our appetizers---crab cake, honey sriracha crispy shrimp---were excellent and truly did the job of "appetizing" us for the mains, which we had beef tenderloin and risotto with shrimp & scallop. Everything was perfectly cooked, including the accompanying veggies, and well presented. Indeed, even just READING the menu was mouthwatering and made the ordering a tough, executive decision process. We had the 3-course dinner package, so, couldn't very well skip dessert. We chose sorbet. It was least filling yet very nice and flavourful. Who knows: a romantic dinner at Zee's may become an anniversary tradition for us!
