Vermilion

Vermilion stays true to its surroundings in Old Town Alexandria, from a charming atmosphere to the seasonal and locally sourced menu. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

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.

Brunch 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.

Gnocchi and Vermilion burger were delicious! Service is great! We have really enjoyed celebrating my wife’s birthday here!

Chef Will Morris is slaying it! Don't miss the pork belly or the grilled octopus if it's on the menu.

Ricotta Gnocchi was great. Bluejacket Mexican Radio (DC) beer was excellent -sweet stout -

It 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 .

The 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

What 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 .

Had the tasting menu with the wine pairing- a must do if you just say to relax and enjoy the meal. Great food!

Book 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.

One of the better dining options in town . Nice service and dependable quality food.

If it's a special occasion , let them know when you arrive. They'll take care of you!

Would you travel from Alexandria to Atlanta just for breakfast ? You might if the talent behind Vermillion was cooking. And they are! Join them at Atlanta Food & Wine Festival May 29 – June 1. Read more

Great ambience and food. The sirloin is amazing, but the nutella cheesecake is disappointing - not enough nutella or cheesecake .

Cop the Chef 's burger here, available at lunch and brunch , with chicken fried bacon (yup, CHICKEN FRIED BACON ), cheddar , escarole and green goddess dressing .

You can go healthy here if you want and explain away happy. Good for lunch or dinner .

Fabulous service and everything was delicious!

Absolutely loves up to its reputation. The chilled gazpacho was too good to pass up

Amazing food. One of the best American bistros I have been to. Try the tasting menu . The butternut squash soup is very tasty.

Try 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

Great tasting menu and amazing selection of local beers .

"Like the swinging hips of Elvis, the tenderness with which the kitchen treats ingredients arises instinctually." - November 2012 Issue

From Washingtonian: 3 egg omelet , baked eggs with grits , trout with fingerlings, soup and salad

Fantastic 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.

It's restaurant week! Come by and taste generous portions at Vermillion. The bar is just as nice as any table.

Check out their five-course menu featuring seven different types of mid-Atlantic seafood - available until December 30, and priced at $75 per person.

I 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.

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.

Outstanding food. Had the chocolate chip pancakes , potato hash and mint juleps . All realllly good

Good bar food and great atmosphere, but the drafts were warm, the cocktails were weak, and the service was slow.

Brunch is great, the Double Cheeseburger is to die for, tasted like a beautiful steak .

Ask to sit upstairs! Table bread is amazing...food is superb!

Longtime chef Tony Chittum is missed, but his successor, William Morris , is a rising star.

Fantastic brunch . Need to come back for dinner .

Thyme lamb was delicious

The Junior VP "box" lunch is the best bet so you can try soup and a sandwich !

I love the interior design and stew-type brunches .

Sit st the bar with alex as your bartender he is so helpful! Fun decor too Read more
