This family-owned restaurant dishes up food that runs the gamut from Texas simple to esoteric and absolutely sublime. There's a menu choice to reflect many culinary moods or needs. Start with the Crabmeat Quesadilla. This ying-yang dish presents beautiful contrasts like Monterrey Jack, roasted red peppers, tender lumps of crabmeat, southwest seasonings, and a beautiful raspberry-cilantro salsa. The flavors here are unrelenting and very appealing. Another appetizer is the Smoked Salmon Focaccia. They could call this dish a bruschetta because the grilled focaccia is adorned with smoked salmon, garlic, red onions, olive oil and capers. It can be a bit salty for some.
And a visit to Chez Zee is not complete without the classic Aztec Shrimp and Corn Bisque. The sumptuous tomato chicken broth provides the starting flavor point and then it's fired up with popcorn shrimp, whole-kernel corn, and fresh veggies.
The entrees can be both soothing and sophisticated, blending comfort with flavors that unfold on the palate. One of the longtime favorites is the Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffed Chicken Breast. The crowning achievement to this dish is a wonderful New Mexico red chile cream sauce. When that interacts with the tender jalapeno-stuffed chicken breast, well, let the flavors happen. And happen they do! A gorgonzola walnut butter bathes this steak and creates a seal of irresistible flavor and aromas. Moving on to the pasta arena, try Sharon's Shrimp and Angel hair. Pasta works in this dish beautifully. The garlic cream sauce folds into the pasta and the sautéed Gulf shrimp creating a light yet incredibly fulsome dish. Certainly worth trying.
