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.

    Excellent meal from start to finish. The food was beautifully presented and showcased the skill and talent of the chef/cooks. Enough cannot be said about the quality of the locally sourced ingredients and the restaurant's obvious commitment to making heartfelt food.

    Biggest issues 1) Pasta was over cooked. 2) Some items came out in the wrong order. 3) Nothing stands out as excellent. Appetizers were good. Free drink at beginning of meal. Dessert forgettable. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    We came for dinner for my wife’s birthday and were very glad we did. The service was impeccable, the cocktails were creative and enjoyable, and the food was outstanding.

    Fabulous experience at Vermilion. Food was delicious and service was outstanding. We had the farm table option and sampled variety of menu options. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed trying food we wouldn’t normally have picked.

    It was a pleasure to return to Vermillion after many years. The food was truly farm-to-table and delicious. Also enjoyed the cocktail list and wine choices. The only thing that detracted from the evening was the noise level. Even when not yet crowded, the ceiling (or lack thereof) in upstairs dining room does not buffer noise! Please address this for diners' comfort.
    Vermilion - AlexandriaResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you, Mary, for the great review! The dining room has been a little loud at moments recently, its the party time of year. Please feel free to note a request for a quieter table next time, and we'll do our best to make sure it's at a more enjoyable level. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

    Best food in the DMV! I have eaten all around the DMV area and no other restaurant serves farm-to-table this FRESH! This place should be on the Michelin Guide. I had dinner for the first time a few nights ago, and went for brunch today. If you’re ever in the area, GO EAT HERE! You won’t regret it!

    Thank you so much, Donte! We thoroughly enjoyed serving you and your family recently. Good luck on the move and please come back if you're in town!

    Outstanding food! The farmer table option is a fantastic value to enjoy the menu and worth it at double the price.
