About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

Guided by Chef Anthony Chittum, Vermilion stands committed to the growers, farmers, watermen and myriad purveyors of the Mid-Atlantic watershed. As a native of Maryland's Eastern Shore, Anthony brings an innate sense of place to each plate with an intractable reverence for local ingredients, and an aesthetic that allows these ingredients to shine.

The thoughtfully curated beverage program at Vermilion echoes this philosophy with an expansive offering of terroir-driven wines and a cocktail menu committed to seasonally-sourced ingredients. A sensational collection of over 150 fine whiskies, ryes and bourbons rounds out the experience and for many serves as reason enough to visit time and again.

We chose the tasting menu. It was hands down the best meal we have eaten in a restaurant in over a year. The chef clearly enjoys creating special combinations with local, high quality ingredients. The service was excellent with a knowledgeable, enthusiastic waitress.

First time there for brunch. Our waiter, Jonathan, told us it was his first day on the job and he was great. All the food was terrific, came quickly and they also brought us a trio of sauces when I asked for something to dip in. The bartender even came out and let us taste test a wine on the menu when I asked the waiter. I’d absolutely go back! Only feedback is that we sat in one of the 2-top tables by the front window and even though there were only 2 other tables in the restaurant it was very loud - I think it’s just the acoustics n that little alcove but it was likely have been overly loud had the restaurant been full.

Thank you, Tara! We appreciate the fantastic review! I'll make sure to tell Jonathan, give him something to brag about. I apologize for the volume, it't not a complaint I have heard before, but I'll check it out.

Food is very expensive and portions are large. Not anything new on menu in 3 months. Good quality and love the farm to table.
Vermilion - AlexandriaResponded 4 days ago
Hi Janie, our menu is seasonal. We source only from local farms, so items are constantly changing. It is very possible that your timing in visits did result in a similar menu. Be sure to stop by soon, it's officially spring!
