Touche - Vermilion

The restaurant had a Italian wine/dinner night. The atmosphere was great and the wait staff was impeccable. You rarely see such great professionalism in the service industry and this crew is one happy family that prides themselves on serving and taking care of customers. The wine they served was all top notch which is rare to see at these type of events. The food was diverse and paired excellently. The qual with the chestnut sauce was impeccable.

Another outstanding meal and service at Chez. The scallops with mushroom appetizer was sublime; the sea bass lobster in cream sauce wonderful. Socially-distanced tables. Four and a half stars goes to five given that they didn't miss a beat faced with three seatings and the entire dining room arriving and leaving at the same time! (we were at the second seating). About $500 for two with tax, tip, and a mid-level bottle of bubbly. We will be back.

From the moment you walk into the restaurant you are treated with superb service. From water glass to wine service, from appetizer to dessert, from cocktail to aperitif this is an amazing dining experience. We were so impressed with the appetizer list we ordered 6 for a table of 4. The soups are to die for— especially the cup of lobster bisque, wild mushroom and the French onion. 2 in our party ordered Beef Wellington— cooked to perfection and crusted with a perfect pastry. Another ordered the duck— wow is all you can say. And I ordered the Lobster Thermidor. It was a show stopper and was prepared with such care so the lobster and scallops were marvelously highlighted with mushrooms and cream sauce. Then we had the cheese plate with a courtesy sherry and dessert with port wines. What else is there to say but EXTRAORDINARY and EXCEPTIONAL!!! If you are in Ohio or Michigan you Must make this a stop!

When we made our reservation, we noticed there was no reference to Covid or to Covid restrictions or procedures on the Chez Francois website. Since new Covid cases are spiking through the roof in Ohio, we called the restaurant and asked four questions. The Chez Francois responses are noted: 1) Are all of your staff members vaccinated: No 2) Do you require your staff members to wear masks: No 3) Are your tables socially distanced: No 4) May we speak with the manager: No, the manager is too busy to talk on the phone. Our response: Please cancel our reservation!!
