Touche - Vermilion

We had an incredible experience at this restaurant while celebrating our anniversary with waterfront dining. I've never tasted a filet mignon as perfect as the one we had; it was absolutely exquisite. The staff was outstanding, and the drinks were fantastic. The steak was so tender it practically melted in my mouth like butter. We also shared a slice of lemon cheesecake that was simply amazing. We will definitely be recommending this restaurant to our friends!

The food was excellent, and we enjoyed a waterfront table on a lovely day. I came across a review mentioning inflated wine prices, and I completely agree. When I requested a glass of Cabernet, a bottle was opened at our table. I'm not sure if the waiter misunderstood my request, but it seems that I inadvertently purchased the entire bottle. It ended up being $75, whereas the wine is only $20 at retail. If it had been a $75 bottle, I wouldn’t have minded as much, but this felt off.

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.

Chez Francois boasts an elegant decor and follows Covid protocols diligently. The staff is fantastic, providing excellent service. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, and I particularly enjoyed the Beef Wellington paired with the house red wine.

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.
