"Service excellent thanks to Justin. Food was an eclectic fusion of latin and indian and a wide range of both traditional and unusual dishes. I had a seafood stew and my husband had spare ribs. Unfortunately, I had a very bad head cold at the time and could not taste or smell a thing, but my husband assured me the food was sensational with just the right amount of spice."

"I had great expectations from this place after all the rave reviews on open table and yelp. We went for my husband's birthday and found Vermilion quite vanilla. Really, nothing special at all. If you still want to go, once piece of advise - do not order what the wait staff recommends. And dont go to celebrate a sp occassion. Nothing but disappointment in every way! Makes me wonder if the reviews on sites like yelp etc. are genuine?
Cheers!"

"Food is fantastic and features unique taste combinations. I had the artichokes, cooked to perfection with a yummy dipping sauce. Also, the lamb chops were great. I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. The decor is lovely."

"Innovative fusion menu that really needed more explanation. One doesn't mind asking the server to clarify a term or two, but so many terms were unfamiliar that I was at a loss, despite my familiarity with both Latin and Indian cuisines. Enjoyed the thali, which provided tastes of several dishes. An early dining time of 6:15 provided a completely private dining experience to power down after an enervating day."
