As we enter our fourth season upstairs our staff has evolved into a top-notch crew bolstered by the welltrained staff at Chez François. This year we will feature intimate, well-priced wine, beer, and liquor tastings either at Touché or in the Parisian Room. We will feature our latest events and adult beverage specials on our Facebook page. If you are interested, please sign up.
 It only took us twenty years, but we can now say we have a bar/lounge at Chez François, located in the same space that the dentist once occupied. Our vision for Touché is to create an upscale bar/lounge where a guest can relax and enjoy a before-dinner aperitif, a glass of wine or imported beer, a well made martini, a single malt scotch, small batch bourbon, or and an after-dinner liqueur or coffee drink.
Can we patronize just Touché? Yes, Touché is a place where patrons can enjoy a quality adult beverage, an appetizer or dessert while relaxing in a comfortable, yet upscale, atmosphere.
What adult beverages will you offer? We have a full liqour license and will offer a full bar with an emphasis on wines by the glass from around the world, martinis, single malt scotch and single batch bourbons as well as a collection of imported artisan beer from around the world.
Will food be offered upstairs? Absolutely. The cuisine will change with the seasons and feature small plates of food that compliment the adult beverages being served. A sample menu is shown on the next page. We will also offer all desserts that are served downstairs at the restaurant.
What is appropriate attire? Casual but sophisticated.
What hours is the café open? We will open at 5 pm-11 pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and 5 pm-12:30 pm on weekends.
Will there be live music? Yes, we will offer live jazz on Saturday nights from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend.
Is there a separate menu for Touché? Absolutely. It will always be a work-in-progress but the menu at Touché is simple bistro fare featuring soups, imported cheeses and meats, Panini sandwiches, frites, and small plates of seasonal specialties. We will offer our regular dinner menu during the week.
