A week ago, some friends and I met for family dinner in Old Town, Alexandria.
We wandered around King Street for what felt like hours, overwhelmed by all of the choices. When we opened the inner door to Vermillion, though, the noise and business of everything happening outside dropped away.
Even though no one in our group made a reservation, we were ushered to a table upstairs when we walked in. The setting was warm and cozy (very date-like). The wine was great and our meals (two of us ordered the halibut...yum) were delicious.
The halibut made for the perfect comfort food, served with smashed fingerling potatoes, greens, and a red wine better. The meal reminded me of something my grandmother would have made in her catering days but (maybe) just a little bit better.
