Situated in the beautiful Five Points neighborhood of Athens, GA just steps from the university campus and sporting venues, ZZ & Simone’s delights in offering its guests an exceptional experience. The vibe is immaculate and when it comes to the food and drinks… they play the hits!

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.

Probably one of the best restaurants we’ve eaten at in a long time. A bright space with a slight retro ’70’s decor and friendly, helpful staff from the minute you walk in the door. There was also plenty of outdoor seating including an upstairs balcony, very Euro feel.
Appetizers and cocktails were great, and so were the mains and dessert. Our party had multiple dishes and each were perfectly prepared and presented and absolutely delicious. A special shout-out to our wonderful server Kadyn! We’re so glad we had a chance to dine here and you will be also, or a full refund (not)!

Authentic food & kind, fast service. This is a random observation but something i pay attention to, their silverware is the cleanest I’ve seen lol. I also really loved the dishes they served their food in, super cute! The plate doesn’t come like that. I had a huge gap on my plate so i just put my side of brussel sprouts on there.

Wonderful Sunday evening date night-we got there when they opened and they filled up fast (for good reason). The atmosphere is very welcoming & stylish, a perfect back drop for some -amazing- food. Be sure to get the anchovies on the shaved fennel salad (the sweetness of the clementines pairs perfect with those salty little fish). We can’t wait to return.

The ambience, atmosphere, and vibe are impeccable. I want my home to look as vibey as this restaurant honestly.
Every time I’ve come here the service has been impeccable. The host, servers, chef and managers are all friendly, professional and go above and beyond to make sure you have a lovely experience.
Although a little pricey for Athens standards, the food is fantastic. Especially the lemon pasta and lemon pizza.
Currently my overall favorite restaurant in Athens. 🙂

I recently dined at ZZ’s and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal. The staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to my brunch experience. The food was both delicious and beautifully presented, showcasing a thoughtful selection of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The chef’s attention to detail truly shone through. Each plate presented to our table from the expo area was garnished perfectly and with heart. My latte was crafted thoughtfully which is of the utmost importance as well. Very nice offering of drinks. Not a huge menu..which in my opinion is smart to grow your business because you can do it and do it well. I highly recommend ZZ’s for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience with genuine care and quality.
