Gourmet - Colman Andrews
“But until I sat down at Manhattan’s new At Vermilion, I’d never tasted—never imagined—anything as successfully fused and flat-out delicious..”


John Mariani (Wine Spectator, Esquire reviewer)
“Vermilion "is a strikingly original restaurant, and the three women being so intimately involved in every square inch of the décor, the plates, and the cooking have transformed Indian cuisine the way, two years ago, Michael Psilakis transformed Greek food in this country at Anthos, and, 20 years ago, Gilbert LeCoze did with French seafood at Le Bernardin. Vermilion is the kind of place where, even if you've eaten all over the world..... you will still be surprised, delighted, even mesmerized."


Mike Steinberger (The Financial Times)
Vermilion has garnered effusive praise, both for the quality of the food and for its look.
