Chez Francois - Vermilion

Simply put Outstanding; beginning to end.

We stopped at CF on our way to Chicago. We had eaten there before. The quality is outstanding, the ingredients super fresh and the final product just superb. Our waiter was fabulous. Matt Mars stopped by our table and sat with us for a great conversation and to make sure everything was to our liking. The whole service was just outstanding. It is a great culinary experience. We love the fact that there is a nice dress code, something that many fine restaurants should bring back. Nothing pretentious, just classy. Great value. They make you feel comfortable and welcome. One of the best restaurants, period.

Everything was outstanding!

I have dined here for years. Food and atmosphere are excellent.

Excellent no matter what time of year. Food and service is always top notch!

Valentine day

We originally booked this table for my husbands birthday and date night but was extremely lucky to have VALENTINES MULTI-course dinner with wine paring. Can’t tell you how amazing the food, service and ambiance of this restaurant was. Can’t wait to go back.

Exceptional in every aspect

We always look forward to a meal at Chez Francois. Outstanding in every aspect. Exceptional service. Wonderful food and atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing! The food, the service, the ambiance are always impressive. For an over the top dining experience you can't beat Chez Francois!

This is by far my favorite restauarant. I have lived and dined all over the world and am NEVER disappointed with this place. Not only am I impressed with the food, but I love the fact there is a dress code, which is rare but necessary. I feel pampered and special after every meal! Thank you!

Excellent food and presentation
Staff courteous and extremely attentive

In general the food was OK but not amazing or interesting. They served as a dessert a cake that looked and tasted like it was purchased from a supermarket

Always the best! We enjoy celebrating our special occasions at Chez Francois! The food, ambiance, serving staff are exceptional!

Food and service was exceptional. Would recommend for special occasions.

There are no adequate words for the experience we had at Chez Francois on Sat. Dec.29th. This was a very special family gathering of 6 people after a hard year of sadness and we wanted to make new memories. And that we did. Susie as our server made sure every one felt the love and felt special, as only she can do and the entire service team is beyond amazing. Matt, the owner and forever present overseer of everything, was as always a true gentleman. And the food by Chef John is second to none. This experience is a throw back to when a Saturday night out was special and people dressed for the occasion and a leisurely meal with every possible extra was experienced. Truly the most unique experience for dining anywhere near Cleveland. Like there is one Pacific Ocean, there is only one Chez Francois ---and from the food to the beautiful room to the people who make the experience special---this restaurant is worth the drive no matter where you live in the area. Thank you so much to the entire team as you warmed our hearts and made it memorable!

My husband and I were first time customers there to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. We enjoyed a beautiful meal. Leah & Josh served us and helped us in making wise menu choices. They made the experience a true delight, one of which we will repeat in the future.

We go here for special occasions and it never disappoints. Lobster bisque is the best. We went last night and my wife had 4 chunks of claw meat! It’s the best!

Excellent as usual. Not just a special occasion place. Treat yourself to a special meal and experience

It was VERY crowded in the bar area. I also asked for a low top when I made the reservation and we got a high top, but the 2 waitresses made it ok, even though it was difficult for them to get to our table.

Our dinning experience along with the food was outstanding and a pleasure.

We had an amazing experience! Professional and thorough staff who never made us feel rushed and paid great attention to the details to make for a truly enjoyable evening. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to all, but especially to anyone celebrating a special occasion. Can't wait to check out Touche next!

Went for a birthday celebration dinner.. completely met my expectations; the staff made sure it was a special night.

Very good!!! keep up the good work and will always recommend you folks to everyone.

First time diner - pre-Christmas dinner with wife and two couples - overall experience was great - service was top notch - will be back again.

This is our favorite restaurant in Ohio. We love coming here about every three months.

Everything at Touche was lovely except for my entrée, and appetizer. The lamb meatballs were overly salty, and I do like salty food. I ordered the hog snapper, and it was a disappointment. Overly prepared, perhaps with the coating and apple topping. The waitress was gracious, and I received a free chocolate martini. My salad with champagne vinaigrette was wonderful, the desserts were fabulous and my friends and I had a great time. They were very pleased with their dinners. I have been to Chez, and Touche several times and will continue to be a patron. I wish you would bring back the prime rib at Touche, we had it there two or so years ago, and it was the best I have ever eaten.

We were provided the finest food and service either of us had ever experienced. The server’s were extremely helpful (and friendly) and helped make our meal memorable. Very relaxed atmosphere.

This place is a must dine. We drove 1.5 hours to celebrate a milestone birthday and we were treated like royalty. The food is spectacular and only outdone by their superior service. We will be back.

The service and food presentation is superb! Kudos to Chef, Leah & Josh!!!

We aren't wealthy, so this was a very rare for us to spend this kind of money. What I will say, is that this was as good a meal as I've ever had (we did the tasting menu).

If you aren't rich, save up for this and go before you die. If you are rich and can afford it, ho here often. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

The food was amazing, the service was top notch and you can't beat the ambience.

This is the finest restaurant in the country .the best service and great food

meal was wonderful.. ..Our waitress (leaha) and her assistant were friendly, helpful and very efficient

The owner, himself, seated us, made our drinks based on our tastes and added fresh herbs to taste. He was genuinely interested in our experience. We didn't even know it was the owner until we were about to leave.

We went for our anniversary and we were also given a card from the staff. It was cozy and elegant in the restaurant (jacket required for the men). The food was superb. It was a truly wonderful experience.

One of my favorite places to visit. The food is fantastic with many options for many different needs. The cocktails are a bit pricy but still delicious. The owner is present and attentive which I think makes this place wonderful. He is kind and greets his guests, which trickles down to his staff!
A must visit!
I posted a pic of the scallops with lobster risotto. They accommodated my dislike for lobster and gave me herb risotto. Yummm!

Fabulous, from start to finish. I highly recommend

Amazing time. Great service and top notch food

Matt-the owner is phenomenal. He always makes us feel like family even though we only get there a few times per year. Amazingly perfect beef Wellington. Superb holiday martinis. Impeccable service. Over the top quality from appetizers to fantastic desserts. This is the BEST restaurant in Ohio if not the US.

Exceeds high expectations. Personable staff, top tier cuisine.

Chez Francois is the quintessential of dining in Ohio. Right from the ambiance to the team and the food - it’s like no other place in Ohio. A very flavorful array of dishes were presented by Chef John in his featured Truffle Menu - a must do Everett year it’s available. Matt in the front is very professional and fun. Omar our server is a treat to be with. Thank you all for what you’ll do day in day out to keep hospitality alive and rejuvenated in The mid west. See you’ll soon bravo
