About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    I went here with my wife for her birthday and they treated us wonderfully. In addition to the extra and free little surprises of food and sparkling wine, they seated us in a thoughtful location in the restaurant. The farm table value is unbeatable— all with fresh and flavorful ingredients from the area, leaving us stuffed by the end!

    We had a great dinner at Vermilion! The service was professional and super friendly. All the food we ate was delicious; the asparagus salad and sunchoke soup were particularly yummy. Highly recommend!

    The food was very bland and unseasoned. The chef actually tried the fluke dish I ordered and comp’d it due to the flavor. I was very disappointed in the overall experience because nothing we ordered tasted great.

    Everyone was very welcoming from the hostess to our waiter, and even the manager. We ordered the farm to table selection. This was a continuous stream of small and shareable portions of most of their menu. Overall it was a great date night experience for my wife and I. We will definitely go back.

    Erik was a very friendly server, the mimosa, mushroom strata and avocado toast were delicious and the outdoor seating was just right for a late spring morning.
