Vermilion Restaurant

Incredible atmosphere and knowledgeable and contentious staff. Menu was on the eclectic side. If you are up for a dining adventure and flavor experience this is the place. Not for those who are looking for comfort food.

I stopped by for a drink while exploring the area. The bartender Simon(?) made a very good vodka based drink. My only instructions was to use vodka and to "make it nice." He did not disappoint. I can't recite the 5 or so ingredients so feel free to ask for your own and take notes. ALSO! A man at the bar next to me for an order of duck wings. OMG they looked and smelled delicious. Almost like smaller chicken drumsticks. I was full but getting that next time. I'm told upstairs is the place to be. Very nice.EDITED December 29:I ordered the duck wings, side of fries, and a dessert. The duck wings are amazing! One of the best items I've had all year. Our server Angie was so funny and attentive. Her and Simon make the bar feel like the place to be.

This is one of our favorite spots in Old Town. Great vibe and interesting cocktails. I had a strawberry infused drink with Laphroaig and simple syrup with mint. Surprisingly delicious and smoky. The food is wonderful and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
