One of the better restaurants in Old Town and since it's on the west end of King Street it tends to cater to a more local clientele rather then the typical King Street tourist crowd.
Ai KFebruary 18, 2020Brunch deal is great! $22 for an appetizer and an entree. A bottle of champagne is $20. Food is delicious. Steak Tartare with pine nuts?! Yes please. Gnocchi with mushrooms fantastic.- Alessandro Pezzolo GiacagliaSeptember 8, 2019Gnocchi and Vermilion burger were delicious! Service is great! We have really enjoyed celebrating my wife’s birthday here!
Tammy GordonDecember 22, 2013Chef Will Morris is slaying it! Don't miss the pork belly or the grilled octopus if it's on the menu.
Sasha KraussMarch 9, 2019Ricotta Gnocchi was great. Bluejacket Mexican Radio (DC) beer was excellent -sweet stout-
Northern Virginia MagazineApril 25, 2014It was a game-changer salad. Like the 2013-rockstar version of Jared Leto wearing leather pants and long hair, it can take years to grow into the personae you want to be. For me, it was liking frisee.- FiOS 50November 28, 2011Book their farm table, available for reservations two nights a week. Tony Chittum serves you himself and explains where he found all the local produce you'll be eating. A real foodie experience.
Patrick McDermottJune 6, 2012The tasting menu is fabulous with excellently paired wines. The Atlantic fish course today was Grouper with Risotto and Peas...outstanding! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Washingtonian MagazineJanuary 9, 2012What to get: Polenta-filled agnolotti; potato-leek soup with smoked cod; beet salad; rib eye with salsa verde; garlic-crusted cod with ham and potato; peanut-butter/chocolate tart.
Daniel Saint-VictorMay 11, 2014Had the tasting menu with the wine pairing- a must do if you just say to relax and enjoy the meal. Great food!
Danny WeinSeptember 2, 2013If it's a special occasion, let them know when you arrive. They'll take care of you!
eric bornemannMay 12, 2019One of the better dining options in town. Nice service and dependable quality food.
Burger DaysApril 10, 2012Cop the Chef's burger here, available at lunch and brunch, with chicken fried bacon (yup, CHICKEN FRIED BACON), cheddar, escarole and green goddess dressing.
Bradley SaullMarch 19, 2013Great ambience and food. The sirloin is amazing, but the nutella cheesecake is disappointing - not enough nutella or cheesecake.
Tim FJanuary 27, 2017Fantastic food and atmosphere. Informed and engaged staff. But man are they slow! Had to skip dessert because it took too long to get our orders.
Ricky SherrillMay 25, 2016You can go healthy here if you want and explain away happy. Good for lunch or dinner.
Colleen NJanuary 11, 2014From Washingtonian: 3 egg omelet, baked eggs with grits, trout with fingerlings, soup and salad- Northern Virginia MagazineJuly 3, 2012A handsome Parmesan crisp exposes a featherlight crepe filled with wine-braised, sausage-stuffed cabbage, magnified by a red onion-sour cherry reduction. - November 2011 issue

Reagan BarbosaFebruary 15, 2017I went here for brunch and was not overly impressed. I got apple butter stuffed French toast, and it wasn't particularly memorable or flavorful. Perhaps their dinner food is better.
NeetJanuary 24, 2011Amazing food. One of the best American bistros I have been to. Try the tasting menu. The butternut squash soup is very tasty.
- Rachel StallworthMay 5, 2012Outstanding food. Had the chocolate chip pancakes, potato hash and mint juleps. All realllly good
Leandro LageraMay 29, 2016Absolutely loves up to its reputation. The chilled gazpacho was too good to pass up
Hilary DavisAugust 20, 2013It's restaurant week! Come by and taste generous portions at Vermillion. The bar is just as nice as any table.- Northern Virginia MagazineOctober 17, 2012"Like the swinging hips of Elvis, the tenderness with which the kitchen treats ingredients arises instinctually." - November 2012 Issue
- FiOS 50December 27, 2011Check out their five-course menu featuring seven different types of mid-Atlantic seafood - available until December 30, and priced at $75 per person.
- Leandro LageraMay 3, 2012Try the Crispy Skin Trout - Nice Crispiness on skin and great summer citrus salad! Wrote about it here:http://www.foodnomad.net/2012/05/vermilion.html
Nick StoneSeptember 25, 2011Brunch is great, the Double Cheeseburger is to die for, tasted like a beautiful steak.
Mushroom dusted Fries are awesome, Don't forget to book your ride to/from V. with Taxi Magic smartphone app for a safe ride home.
Wow. Server Alex knows his wines!! Great apps, wine AND desserts!!
Jared CampbellNovember 2, 2014Good bar food and great atmosphere, but the drafts were warm, the cocktails were weak, and the service was slow.
Melinda DawsonJuly 15, 2011The Junior VP "box" lunch is the best bet so you can try soup and a sandwich!
