Don’t take our word for it. Discover why diners have named Vermilion a must-try restaurant in downtown Boston.
My wife & I went for dinner, and we had a very very nice time. I
would definitely recommend The Vermillion Club! We really enjoyed
the food and the atmosphere, as well as the wine! The wine was
excellent. We tried the French onion soup dumplings, and the
Caesar salad. Enjoyed the Caesar salad more, it was great!
I
had a filet and my wife had the veal chop, we shared the carrots
as well. All the food was delicious!
The service was top
notch, our server recommended some awesome wines, and we had a
great experience here overall.
MIKE NEILAN
Had an overall great experience here during dine out Boston (got
one dine out meal and a couple items from regular menu). The prime
rib was well cooked and delicious coupled with the mashed
potatoes; not sure what they put in there but I was hooked. The
Calamari was great, as was the truffle Mac and cheese and the
cheesecake dessert. The decor was great, so pretty, and the staff
was great as well.
The only sore spot was the "foie gras
boston creme pie." We wanted to be adventurous, but it was one of
those "just because it's interesting/unique, doesn't mean it's
good" situations. I almost gagged on it... would not recommend at
all (and at $28 it wasn't a cheap adventure). I am still giving 5
stars overall since we really enjoyed it otherwise.
TRINITY D
Had an excellent dinner here! Plenty of great fish and steak
options. The entrees were clearly the star of the show here with
the bone-in ribeye, tuna, and Dover sole. It is definitely a
pricey restaurant, but still comparable in that sense to most
other steakhouses in Boston, in my opinion.
My only major
recommendation would be to stay wary of the sides. The olive oil
tater tots were tasty, but you only get like, 5 of them and
they’re pretty greasy. We also didn’t love the artichoke, which
were quite salty and acidic.
Would def get the chocolate
soufflé again for dessert. Excellent choice.
