   Food is very expensive and portions are large. Not anything new on menu in 3 months. Good quality and love the farm to table.

   Excellent. I noted that we were having a business meeting in reservation. Service was prompt, attentive, and unobtrusive. Well done!

   Food was wonderful and we always have a great time, our server was not as attentive as we normally experience.

   Franklin and Juliet were very accommodating, thoughtful, and professional. The service and ambiance made the meal taste even better. Compliments to the chef! Gregory Canty

   A very small menu with a range of tastes. Thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu with multiple salads and small bites. A delightful surprise. Everything from fish to pasta, beets to kale, brussel sprouts to oysters

   Vermillion offers very creative cooking and we had an excellent meal. Service was impeccable. However, the menu, especially for main dishes was somewhat limited and the portion sizes, especially for the main dishes were not huge or even large. Was an appetizer and a main course enough food? Most definitely. Was the steak the 14 to 16 oz you get at most restaurants? No, not even close. To be honest, it was kind of refreshing to leave the restaurant without feeling extremely stuffed. The bottom line is this is a place to go for excellent, creative cuisine, but if you’re really hungry or a big eater looking for a ton of food, you are probably at the wrong place.

   Hi, Patrick. Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review. We do tend to keep each dish on the smaller side, mainly because with our tasting menu, we want you to try everything! I'm happy to hear your experience was excellent. Can't wait to host you again.

   I enjoyed my time. Excellent service, very good food. Very youthful and hip, but not tragically so.

   We try hard to walk the fine line between hip and tragically hip! Good to hear we nailed it, thanks for the great review!

    This was my third time dining at Vermillion and the experience (as always) was excellent. Food was delicious, innovative, and came in generous portions. We loved the cozy, quiet ambiance and our server was fantastic. Will absolutely return.
