This is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in my 33 years of life. Best beer I have ever had in my life, the best pretzel I have ever had in my life, and the best food I have ever had in my life. Too full for desert, but if I had tried it, it'd be the best desert in which the likes we have never tasted before. Renee is the best server known to man and women. Any other server could never compare. Quite frankly, she was the best server this country has to offer. We love you Renee.

Decision was mine to have dinner for 4 at Café Touché. It was a Tuesday evening so it wasn't real crowed and the noise level was very good for conversing. Food was very good and the service was excellent. This was our second time there and we will be back again. Our first time was a Friday night and to be honest it was very crowded and loud. I definitely preferred the Tuesday evening . Also on Tuesdays there is no corkage fee.
