    Banana Slushie
    Steve A.

    Here is another place for ice cream. It has a nice view of the lake. Romp's Dairy Dock is a popular spot in Vermilion. Classic menu. They have both cold and hot stuff. As like many of these places, it's seasonal and closes when it's cold. It has a good location at the docks. The menu is about what you expect from a place like this. Ice cream is the main thing here. Pretty good prices. A lot of classic and interesting flavors. They have slushies in flavors that include banana, which tastes like banana flavored syrup. It's about $1.75 for a medium. They have hot food too. It's typical greasy stuff like burgers and hot dogs. They have a decent sized menu but it's mostly fried items. It didn't have much of a line the last time here. It has some fast service. There's no indoor seating but outside they have some tables.

    Atmosphere - Very Good. The building is well kept and everything looked clean. The menus are easy to read. There is plenty of parking available. I did not see any outside seating, which would have made this an excellent experience. Service - Excellent. We were greeted by a pleasant and friendly staff person. Our order was prepared in a timely manner. Food - Excellent. There is a decent selection of food, but we were there for the ice cream. I ordered a medium chocolate and peanut butter milkshake and it was absolutely delicious! It was nice and thick and the blend of chocolate and peanut butter was perfect. I'm fact, it was one of the best that I have ever had (and trust me, I have had a lot of milkshakes) Overall Value - Excellent. Aside from the quality of the milkshake and service, the size of the medium shake is as large as some places call a large. The prices are very reasonable as well.

    Orange cream soft serve

    Walked over to Romps while checking out Vermilion after kayaking. My friend got the orange cream soft serve $2 and like it. I had a little bite right off the top and it tasted like a creamsicle. They only accept cash though so come prepared or I think there is an ATM if you like paying fees.

    I don't recommend the vanilla strawberry swirl. The strawberry is very fake tasting. Not a real strawberry in sight. It was disappointing.

    CHEZ Francois - Vermilion…read more Our weekend experience along Lake Erie brought to mind several very nice dining experiences at CHEZ Francois - Vermilion. We fully endorse the dress code and expect other fine dining establishments to embrace: Gentlemen, Jackets Please "Recent phone call: She then asked if we ever have problems with customers and the dress code. I told her about a young lady who came in wearing flip-flops accompanied by her parents. We also felt her jean skirt and a tank top were inappropriate in our indoor dining room and disrespectful to our other diners. When I confronted her about her casual attires she began to cry and explained that it was her parents wedding anniversary. I relented and allowed them to sit in the dining room. I explained to the PD writer that occasionally circumstances dictate that we give the benefit of the doubt to avoid an embarrassing confrontation." We have excellent memories of Dayton and Cincinnati dining history which offered more than several fine dining experiences. We deplore the current practice of casualness and the proliferation of Sports Bars. We have delighted in several evenings of dining at CHEZ Francois - Vermilion. One consideration is Chef D'Amico's Prix Fixe Menu Six-Course Menu · $175 Per Person Wine Pairing · $75 Per Person 3oz per course Perhaps, Fruit Wood Smoked Salmon & Peekytoe Crab Timbale, Dill Remoulade Sauce Maine Diver Sea Scallop & Himalayan Morel Mushrooms En Croûte Bronzini Poêlé, Gremolata, Sauce au beurre de Verjus Seared Bronzini filet served over caramelized fennel and roasted fingerling potatoes, finished with a Plugrá Meyer lemon Verjus butter sauce and Gremolata and pickled fennel. Filet de Flétan, Croûte à la Truffe, Sauce au Beurre aux Herbes North Atlantic Halibut filet, sautéed, truffle and pine nut herb crust, grilled artichoke hearts, roasted leek mousseline, sauced with an herb butter sauce. Plateau de Fromages for Two, Montrachet Goat, St. Angel, English Stilton and Èpoisses, dates, Membrillo (quince paste) and almond/fig cake. In our view it is well worth planning a trip to Lake Erie to enjoy CHEZ Francois.

    My wife and I ate here for our anniversary dinner. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable on the…read moredrinks and food menu and specific ingredients and how the flavors come together. Our server did great offering suggestions that were very tasty. We sat outside by the water on a nice sunny day. Loved that atmosphere and vibe. Only reason I slightly downgraded atmosphere was because of the amount of flys while you're trying to eat. Big drink menu with lots of good sounding drinks. Our waiter also suggested a wine and brought one for us to sample, to which we enjoyed and ordered a glass of it later. Large menu with mostly seafood options. I'm not a big seafood eater, but was easily able to find some menu items without seafood if you also aren't into fish. They started out by providing us a complimentary app, maybe because it was our anniversary. Not something I'd typically order but was very flavorful and good. Apps mostly have seafood in them, and I was adventurous and tried the lobster ravioli. Very impressive flavors. For dinner, I ordered the beef Wellington and my wife got a veal dish with scallops. Well prepared, fresh, with good flavoring. My only constructive criticism on the food would be recommending more seasoning on the fillet. We opted not to order a dessert because we were full but our waiter brought out a complimentary cherry chocolate moose because of the anniversary celebration. Portion sizes are smaller and the dishes are pricey, but you are getting top tier food if you're celebrating anything special. Staff takes there time which won't rush you. Gives you time between each and every course. If you do drinks, apps, and entry, you'll probably be there for 2 hours. I would recommend them for special occasions!
