Vermilion

Very rude wait staff and out of all steak options and most seafood. and waiter said only have trout which is the same as catfish! Seriously he said that!!!

I’ve come to this restaurant - which used to be one of my favorites - a few times in the new year. Each time they have run out of one or more of the less than 5 entrees. The service is excellent as always, however, I feel skeptical of the new kitchen management. Additionally, the tasting menu option is NOT worth the price. You’re better off ordering the items a la carte.

If you are coming here on company dime, want to impress someone with an upscale atmosphere and your status, have substituted your profession for your personality, or like pretending to understand food through use of descriptive, pretentious adjectives, this is the perfect place for you! To everyone else, especially for those who are looking to have a genuinely good culinary experience, save yourself some bucks and have a much better time somewhere else (we ended up going to Murphy's right after, which had live music and was infinitely a better experience!) Pros: - This restaurant has a very nice ambiance for a nice night out - The winter beetroot variations were unbelievably good. They were the best beets I have ever had and tasted legitimately like ice cream - The puff pastry that came with the maple-roasted chili carrots was perfectly crispy and delightful - The Philly Cheesesteak arancini was pretty good! Cons: - We were seated in the dining room menu and handed a menu that offered both prix fixe and a la carte as dining options. However, when we tried ordering a la carte off of the dining room menu, we were told that they were not available a la carte (even though they had a la carte prices next to each one) and were instead handed a different menu. I'm not sure if the server was new or something, but it was a strange experience - The maple-chili roasted bolero carrot had maximum 20 grams of carrots on it max. While the puff pastry was good, the carrot was nowhere to be found - The crispy chicken thigh sliders were mediocre, good at best. Chicken thigh is pretty hard to make not juicy but somehow, it was done. Maybe the chef just lost all love for cooking? Who knows? - Karma Farms radicchio salad was the one of the worst restaurant dishes I have genuinely ever tasted. I am a very non-picky eater who almost always finishes their food but neither of us could genuinely finish this and we were both hungry. The salad was a weird, soggy, bitter mess that did not harmonize with any of the rest of the dish (two sweet potato steak fries and Lunchables-esque ham underneath). It was about as cohesive as a 5th grade band recital and it was all brought together with this overly-wet, bitter, and unpleasant salad. I am not sure what Karma Farms did to deserve this slander and an insult of a dish from you all, but it must've been bad. All in all, not a great dining experience. We left hungry and unimpressed by everything (except the beets, which we HIGHLY recommend!). We would have liked to spend more and tried more things, but were honestly just so disappointed by this dining experience.

They have not updated their wine list. We had to order 3 wines before they could find one. The grenache was superb but we were into the dining experience when it arrived. Great food prepared to perfection.

Well, what a freaking waste of time and money. Just left Vermillion and I can tell it is under new management. The new menu is sparse, drinks are terrible and the food is even worse. I have never seen such tiny portions and it took forever to receive our food but it was cold. Never again!!

This restaurant was closed during the pandemic and I am so happy to try their food again after their reopening. I went there for brunch and selected the two eggs your way on the menu. The fingerline potato that came with the egg was crispy and tasty. The side salad was my favorite—it was fresh and perfectly seasoned with vinegar and pepper. I would like to go back again to try other things on their menu.
