Great neighborhood bar feel with really good food and friendly bartenders…read more I had a burger, 1/2 lb done perfectly with onion rings that were excellent. Last time the onion rings were a little oily, yesterday they were perfect. Our adult daughter just had fried pickles, she said they were great. Perfect batter to pickle ratio and they were spears not rounds which made them great for dipping. Wife had a lake erie perch sandwich, she said it was amazingly good. Busy place, but the kitchen was kerping up about 7:30 on a Friday night. I highly recommend Rudy's especially if your in from out of town.

The food was very good. The server was excellent. Drinks and food were delivered in good time…read more BUT...minus one star because this is one of a growing number of restaurants that have begun adding 3.00% to the bill for using a credit card...and it's insulting! Credit and Tap to Pay are the standard these days - who carries cash? Servers expect tips off of the total including tax instead of the subtotal (which I struggle with a bit but always use that total @ 20%). Now it's subtotal + tax + CC surcharge. My first instinct is to tip 17% and tell the server her boss took part of her tip. Goodness gracious restaurant owners!!! Charge $12.59 for your $10.95 chicken salad wrap and stop adding one more level of complexity to the process. It's not a lot of money but a silly little add-on line item to the bill for using a standard method of payment is, in principle, ridiculous.

Touché is the wine bar located inside of Chez Francois in Vermilion. Little known fact: Touché,…read moreaside from a slightly different seating arrangement, carries the same food and drink menu as Chez Francois. 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!

Unremarkable. It was just ok. The waiter was more interested in the table of young women than us…read more Our tapenade was ok. The stuffed artichokes were tepid and had way too much cheese. The ratio was way off. Bisque was the best thing I had. The French onion was ok. The meatloaf I had was fair. It had too much filler and it lacked that, unctuous mess I was looking for. Overall, it was just ok. Table and view were great, but the lack luster meal killed the night. Our expectations got the best of us.

Great casual breakfast. Whatever you do ... reasonably priced. Get the homemade tater tots!!read more

Flies! Flies! Flies!…read more Kids had a good meal, chicken was good, Mac and cheese was tasty. Their bbq and ranch sauce was not good on the other hand. Their fries are like fair type fires, fresh, skinny and good with malt vinegar. Disappointed with the burger, it was like a meatball in a bun. The brioche bun could have been toasted. Texture felt like a cold English muffin, crumbly. The meat was too thick that didn't cover the bun and lackluster in taste.

Went on a busy Friday during the Fish Festival. I had a quesadilla, my husband got walleye, mom got…read morenachoes and stepdad got shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their dish. The fish was fresh. Quesadilla well seasoned. Nachos were thick chips, held up to all the toppings. Wish it had beans and shredded cheese vs just liquid cheese. Service was prompt and friendly. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a chair for our table, but given how busy it was, it was totally understandable. Would definitely go back again.

We stopped here for their perch dinners after reading the reviews, and the only item on our plates…read morewe found okay to eat was the french fries. Their portions are large. You get a lot of food, but it's not well done. The coleslaw was old and tasted close to expiring. It was chalked full of mayonnaise. The breading on the fish tasted dirty and oily. The grease they used to fry the fish may have been old, and the breading was slightly off from the norm. Also, the perch was full of oil. However, I feel the restaurant/pub was friendly and appeared to provide a safe, clean atmosphere to the locals for drinks. There are also gambling/slot machines on location and people were buying some kind of gambling tickets. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant for a perch dinner.

It was empty when we got there about 20 minutes after opening, however the place filled up quickly! James ,our bartender, was patient as we decided what to order while enjoying our drinks. The food, service, and friendly atmosphere were AMAZING! So much so that we made a reservation to eat here again when we come back out in two weeks. Definitely worth trying if you're in town.

Nice place when in town. Good food but not amazing…read more I've never had a steak tartare that looks like I what I posted. Gnocchi were dense. Sangria is always basic. I would return for a drink maybe!

I almost skipped Garage Bar & Grill after reading some of the negative Yelp reviews, but my wife…read morewanted to go for music bingo, and I'm glad we did. It was a busy night, but the service was friendly and attentive. The music bingo was a lot of fun, very well run, and created a great atmosphere. The salmon BLT was outstanding, and the sweet potato fries with maple syrup for dipping were a nice touch. The nachos were a little weak, and the wings were overcooked, but overall the food was pretty good. Based on our experience, I'd happily come back. 4 stars.

We had quick service and the server gave us great recommendations and insight. We ordered the kraut pierogies, kielbasa and potato pancake appetizers. The kielbasa was to die for!! I had the roast pork dinner and my husband the roasted duck. Easily his favorite duck he's ever had. The spaetzle and dumplings were great. Really good sauerkraut that was fresh. We had a 1.5 year old eating with us and he cleared like 3 small plates of spaetzle and a bunch of kielbasa. That's high praise.

Unfortunately, not a good experience. Service is poor and we waited over an hour for our food…read more Asked the server several times but they kept saying other tickets were in front of us. Our entire group was very disappointed with the quality of food. Chicken paprikash was okay but lacked a lot of flavor and paprika. The "dumplings" are really just doughy bread slices. However, this was not explained to us and I'm realizing this may be true Czech style? The spaetzle was fine. The pork dish was overcooked and dry. They did had a fun outdoor area with a great band playing live music. Would not return unless just for music and drinks. I would suggest they put more care towards their customers and ask if they want more drinks or comp an appetizer if the wait for the food is over an hour.
