Where to start with this one. Just wrong from start to finish. The waiter was so rude and abrupt as if we were putting him out. NO small chat he just pointed out where to sit and when we asked to change he basically grunted at us the whole service. The food was terrible and redicuuslly over priced. The portions are tiny almost child size portions. I got a prawn dish.(3 euro supplement) so hoped that it would have more than 3 small tough prawns. I asked the server is this normal size. He just said it's normal size and walked off. This place says it prides itself on fine dining but if you look at TripAdvisor you can see for yourself what people think. It has clearly gone downhill since the chance of management. Any recent reviews are echoing similar issues to mine. And the management response is laughable and quiet condescending to people's issues. This establishment is clearly not the place it used to be and people need to vote with there feet. If you want an overpriced average meal and made to feel like sh#t, this is the...
Read moreWe like Vermillion a lot. We have been going there for years and the quality has been consistently high.

Tonight we tried to share a starter of prawns (really good) and 1 main of lamb to be able to taste 4 different vegetarian sides. We loved the variety, flavour & texture of...
Read moreThis was our first return visit to vermillion since lockdown, and we were quite disappointed.. while the food was as excellent as always, the service was very poor. I appreciate that Mothers Day can be very busy for restaurants ,however, the staff tonight were clearly having difficulty maintaining any kind of decent service.. while we got several apologies, these really didn’t make up for the simplest oversights- eg we had to wait a considerable length of time for our drinks, and when we asked for more water, 15mins later we were asked by staff if we would like more water???😳 and just when I was about to cancel our coffee order, as it was taking so long, it arrived.. In all the times we have visited Vermilion we have never had any issues , but tonight will certainly make me reconsider a...
