We went to ZZ and Simone’s for brunch and it was fabulous! I have been for dinner many times and had high expectations for brunch, and they were exceeded. I love the atmosphere and the servers are always very friendly and attentive. The cinnamon roll was SO GOOD. Different than anything I have ever had. The latkes were also very good- perfect amount of crispness and so good with the sour cream. For my main course I had the eggs Benedict which was delicious on the focaccia bread (which the bread is a must for dinner time). Overall amazing and well done restaurant.

Came here to celebrate my nephew’s 4th birthday party and the staff went above and beyond for us! Food was delicious and the service was exceptional! Will be celebrating more special occasions here for sure. Special shout out to the manager Kristen for making my family feel like her family!

ZZ’s is MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER!!! It’s not just a place to eat it’s a full on experience. From the incredible service to the food everything is 10/10. I’ve never had one thing I didn’t absolutely LOVE but my favorite is their shrimp cocktail with the most INCREDIBLE HOMEMADE cocktail sauce I’ve ever had. Their drinks are consistently the best I’ve ever had and taste the same every time. The whole place is just a VIBE!! I would give it TEN stars if I could. Absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Wonderful, kind service. Great food. Absolutely loved the atmosphere. My friend and I celebrated our anniversary here with brunch on their outdoor patio and we couldn’t have had a better experience!

I would highly recommend trying the street parking on the road across Lumpkin, the parking situation here is NOT good. I actually came into the restaurant quite grumpy and ready to give a non 5 star review because of the trouble I'd had parking but the quick service, great food, and good price points swayed me back. I think the prices are VERY reasonable for upscale food and the quality and SPEED from the kitchen is VERY impressive. I want to really shout out the dessert's menu. EVERYTHING on it was absolutely delicious and maybe the best dessert spread I've had its Athens, both from the prices, quality and diversity.
