    I am an ice cream fan, in particular I like flurries, blizzards or whatever the store calls them. This place is so cute and all the staff are friendly and efficient. So many choices from a huge menu. I got a medium Heath bar whatever they called it and it was great. The ice cream is probably a high fat content which makes it great! Super smooth and creamy and lots of Heath chunks. I will be back!

    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.

    Made an early Friday evening reservation to eat outside here for my birthday. The host seating…read morefolks seemed a bit flustered but once we got to our table all was well. We enjoyed the view of the boats on the water and the fact that you still dress up outside but not to the level that is required for inside dining. Understandably, my husband didn't love the idea of needing to wear a jacket in 90+ degree heat so it is nice they offer the outside seating option that features the same menu. That said, we were seated at a nice table outside and we had great service the whole evening. It was my birthday and they printed out special menus labeled for my birthday and included a card which the whole staff signed - a very nice touch! Onto the food. We received an amuse bouche with chickpeas and foam which was nice but nothing special, taste wise. We ordered soups to start - the French onion and corn chowder with scallop. Both were incredible! I will be dreaming about that corn chowder...so tasty. Next we were brought salads. My husband added goat cheese to his and it was a comically small portion for the $3 upcharge. For entrees, we chose the seabass and the hogfish special. For $68 each, we both expected more. The seabass tasted fishy (we have both had seabass many times and it has never tasted this way) and the peach glaze on the hogfish was too sweet for my liking and took away from the flavor of the fish. It wasn't bad, but not what I was hoping for after it was talked up a lot by the staff. We were offered dessert menu but we were quite full and after seeing that each option was $20, it was an easy pass. They did bring us two small mousse cups on the house for my birthday though, which was a nice surprise. All in all we enjoyed our evening. The ambiance was good, the service was great, and the food was mostly good just not up to the caliber of the high price tag, in our opinions. And they charge a credit card fee so that was an unwelcome surprise. I think we would go back but just for the views and the soup. And we would pay cash next time :) Thank you for the nice birthday evening, Chez Francois!
