Guided by Chef Anthony Chittum, Vermilion stands committed to the growers, farmers, watermen and myriad purveyors of the Mid-Atlantic watershed.

While many know “Succotash” when they see it, the dish has been interpreted, modified and passed from generation to generation for centuries. While Succotash between families will share similarities, each family’s recipe is deeply personal and reminiscent of those special suppers that brings kin together. Our “Succotash” is special to us and we invite you to experience the South from our point of view.

My first impression was of the fantastic hostess (I wish I knew her name) and our waitress (Keeley—sp?). We could not have asked for better service or guidance on the menu. Next came the food, and last came the dessert. Overall, it was the best meal in Old and highly recommended.

I loved my lunch here SO much I came back the next day, and then brought people for dinner while I was in town for a conference. 3 times in 2 days and every bite was delicious, from the shrimp & grits, to the sausage gravy, collard greens and salmon. And did I mention the cornbread!?? The manager was so pleased to see me so excited for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie that she comped it for our table! Exceptional experience and it's because this place clearly cares about serving great food to folks. A true gem!!!!!
