★★★★★ 5.0 Mark Benitez · Feb 2026

We haven’t been here in a decade. Sad to say we missed out. We had a spectacular meal during restaurant week for three courses. We had the arancini, apple cider donuts, eggs Benedict, fried catfish, French toast, apple cake, and chocolate cremieux. All tasted great and we had superb service throughout.

I enjoyed a nice dinner at Vermilion after traveling for 12 hours due to weather delays. Im not sure if it is my extreme hunger or my love of unique restaurants, but I definitely enjoyed my dinner here. I had the New Frontier Bison Flank Steak and enjoyed every bite. The unique combo of red sauce with beans accompanied by medium rare bison and some small slices of goat cheese were an enjoyable experience. The gentleman behind the bar was a retired Marine and complete professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and I believe that you will too.

Bad experience. Although they admitted their mistake by not charging us for the burgers they'd forgotten to include in our order. It took 50 minutes for them to arrive at our table. The food was good. Apple cider donuts and the aforementioned burgers.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Taylor Anderson · Jan 2026

We love Vermillion and we were SO looking forward to our meal here for NYE but we could not have been more disappointed. $135 dollar set menu per person for family style food (ok, sure) but the quality and the portions were ridiculous. Each appetizer was a single bite OR we had to cut it up and ration it. For our entree, as a table of five we got a few slices of under seasoned flavorless beef and a couple pieces of dry fish that tasted like it came out of a tuna can. We didn’t eat it. We also didn’t get our included glass of sparkling wine or the “extra treats” that were advertised. When we found out the chef for the event called “NYE with Chef Tony” had left before the time of our reservation, it started to make sense. I honestly want my money back. David just stared at me blankly while I

★★★☆☆ 3.0 J Barragan · Jan 2026

Place felt very understaffed - our waiter was nice and doing his best I felt bad. Food took super long - table next to us left before they got theirs. Food was pretty good, nothing special. The thing that was insane to me was that they charge you for a pre fix menu and give you a single portion of multiple of the dishes. The main entre was a single slice of filet for each person (2 single slices total for two people). Seems insane to me to split single bites for apps and have an entire entree be a single slice of filet for two people. Would not return or recommend.
