If you're craving a juicy burger and/or tasty wings while in Sandusky, Main Street Tavern…read moredefinitely has to be on your list. We came during peak dinner hours and waited ~20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad. The place isn't too large, and given how good the food is, I can see why there could be a wait. We decided on the jalapeno poppers (June special), onion rings, lemon pepper wings, and two burgers with fries (BBQ ranch jalapeno burger - June special, Hot N' Spicy burger) all to share. Plenty of food for 2 adults and 2 kids to share! We all agreed everything was delicious. The poppers come out super hot, so definitely wait a little to bite into them. Onion rings perfectly cooked and crispy. Wings were plump and had good lemon flavor to them. Both burgers were juicy, but of the two enjoyed the Hot N' Spicy more. Service is friendly and attentive. Parking is available in a small lot directly next to the restaurant or along the street.

Definitely plan on going back.

This mismanaged dumpster fire of a restaurant could be great. The food, when it eventually arrives…read moreto your table is actually pretty good. We had a party of thirteen and walked into a seat yourself setup. That's an eyebrow raiser for a such a large restaurant. Not only do they have a banquet room upstairs, but they also have an entire dining room and closed a patio that is roughly twice the space of the indoor restaurant three full bars, one inside two outside. They're right on the water, which is also a great attraction. The unfortunate thing is the staff, including servers and kitchen staff are incompetent. In a restaurant that demands you see yourself, you would think that the weight staff would be attentive and paying attention when a party that Large comes in and sits down. They were barely half full. btw: the parking is extremely limited, but "conveniently" there's a gravel surface lot you can pay to park in right next to the restaurant. I had to go to the bar after 20 minutes because no one came to see us if we needed drinks, food, etc. The bartender sent the waitress over who said oh I didn't notice you, I thought you were ordering all your food and drink from the bar. I guess I just assumed. Strike one We ordered drinks which came actually fairly quickly. We ordered nine different appetizers, which were all delicious, including cheese, curds, pretzels, walleye bites, etc. The appetizers took nearly 45 minutes to arrive at our table. We were reluctant to place a dinner order at that point because we wondered if it would actually get to the table in a reasonable. Eight of the entrées came out 30 minutes later. Three took an additional 15 minutes. One took another five minutes. Another never came. We repeatedly asked our waitress to look into it. I had to hunt the server down again. She finally came back and said that the kitchen swore they brought it out, but that they were yelling at the server (her words) because already made it it was brought it out. By the time it made it out to us we just told them to box it so we could take it with us. That means one person out of 13 in our party didn't get dinner. Their only solution was to take that off but still add the 20% mandatory gratuity to the check for absolutely #%€+]% service. I spent over $500 on a very frustrating experience that took 2 1/2 hours for us to get out of the restaurant. The waitress told me she blamed the small kitchen. I don't know how you could have that small of a kitchen in a restaurant that size. Ridiculous. I called and left a message for the management team: Chris, Jaron, and Adam. Left the details. No return call a week later. Avoid this restaurant at all cost unless it comes under new management. Such a frustrating experience.

This spot gives off a sleek speakeasy feel--dark, moody, and elevated by stunning artwork. The dim lighting sets the perfect ambiance, making it an ideal place to unwind with a drink in hand. Speaking of drinks, the menu offers a solid selection of specialty cocktails, but if you're feeling adventurous, the bartender is happy to whip up something just for you. Just a heads-up--they don't serve food, so plan accordingly. I sipped on a crisp sparkling wine, and the elegant stemware with a twist of lemon was a classy touch. If you're looking for a stylish, intimate spot to enjoy well-crafted drinks, this is it!

Like Chez, you need to make reservations in advanced as far as possible online. We just had a quick cocktail, but know that it's no easy feat to choose from their beautiful and expansive menu! At the suggestion of our wonderful server, I had the cucumber moscow mule, which was so delightful and refreshing on a hot day. Come later in the evening on a weekday and you'll have the opportunity to sit outside on the riverfront. If you're like me and still not dining out aside from a patio visit here and there during a less busy time, you can feel good about visiting here outside. Touché's outdoor patio has a lovely ambiance, only increased by the charm of the city of Vermilion and the channel leading onto Lake Erie. Bring a friend, a date or a special occasion. You'll still want to be dressed up and make those reservations as far as you possibly can. We only had a quick drink, but I'll be back to try the food!

Though there were pretty attentive when we first arrived, they quickly became distracted with other tables. We lost count how many times they passed us by when our water and cocktail glasses were empty (we were in the middle of their single path of travel). Cocktails were decent but their prices were proud; I would say the same for their small plate items. We were visiting from Dallas and paying $18 for a cocktail is a starting point there. Paying $18 in the back of a mercantile store with mediocre service, though the space was nice, was a stretch.

After dinner we walked down to stretch our legs and see the lighthouse on Lake Erie. Don't miss that.
