Vermilion To Reopen In Alexandria After Temporary Closure

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Vermilion, a restaurant from Neighborhood Restaurant Group in Alexandria, plans to reopen in July. The restaurant had temporarily closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Vermilion will be reopening its doors this July, and we couldn't be more excited!" the restaurant announced on its website. "After a brief period of inactivity, we're ready to return to refreshingly local, seasonal bites in a charmingly intimate ambience."

Neighborhood Restaurant Group has nearly 20 restaurants in three states and DC. In March 2020, the restaurant group had pivoted to a new model to keep staff working and customers fed. The group launched Neighborhood Provisions, an online marketplace for meals, ready-to-cook foods, pantry items and drinks for pickup or local delivery. While some of the restaurant group's restaurants reopened, Neighborhood Provisions continues to operate, even offering special items for holidays.

Columbia Firehouse, another Neighborhood Restaurant Group eatery, remains temporarily closed. The restaurant group's other Alexandria eateries include Evening Star Cafe, Rustico and Buzz Bakeshop.

Customers awaiting Vermilion's return can join the mailing list for updates on the reopening.
