Fantastic evening pre concert dinner and nice to see Roberto Manger who we know longtime a go Great service and fantastic food

It was such a beautiful venue. We had a lovely time. The staff were super efficient and friendly. Very beautiful place. Worth booking

Came here for dinner and it was such a fabulous experience. The decor, service and food were impeccable. The lamb chops were a highlight. We also got live music which was amazing. The singer and band were perfect for the restaurant, created such a lovely atmosphere and not too loud either - @ smooth edge music. Our waiter was very attentive and the food came out at a good pace.

The food was great the service perfect The bar was also really nice and Dragos our barman really went the extra mile Definitely coming back

Park right outside and had a warm welcome on reception. Setting inside was far better than expected, and staff were very attentive . Food fantastic

I came here as part of my wedding day meal. I booked the maharaja table and after many advanced phone calls to make sure everything was going to be okay...... it was more than okay. From walking in and being greeted to taking the lift upstairs and having our own private area was amazing. The lighting and deco is top notch and the mood fits with the colour settings. All our guests have amazing feedback. I spoke to the manager called estoban, estovan (apologies for the wrong spelling) and he made sure the evening was problem free. We had a personal waiter called Satu who went above and beyond in making sure the table was fully stocked and cleaned and served at the perfect time and anything I needed was swiftly bought. All with a smile too!! I know right, a waiter, smiling. It's unheard of sometimes. The food was amazing. We chose the Christmas menu A and each dish was very flavoursome. A note for the desert, it's nice but very rich chocolate and most of us could only finish half so if that's not your thing then choose something else to your liking. All in all. A credit to the staff and hats to the chefs for making the food fresh and fast. Very easy to overlook the people who cook your food. Will definately be back for a normal meal in the future.

What a beautiful and hospitable place! Every member of staff, from the manager to our fantastic waiter Sato, were wholeheartedly dedicated to looking after us and making sure we had a night to remember! The level of service was remarkable and when they clocked on that it was my birthday, the truly went above and beyond. The decor is also stunning and makes Vermillion stand out from other dining spots in town! Unique and tastefully designed, it provides an intriguing yet peaceful and relaxing ambiance that makes for the perfect environment to savour good company and good food. Speaking of which, the food itself was prepared to perfection! The precise attention to detail in the balance of flavours made each dish we had something special. I had the Dal Makhani and whilst I've had many a dal before, I've never had one that's blown me away like that. Lastly, I'd strongly recommend the Red Lantern cocktail. It's an experience in and of itself!

Amazing food and amazing service. It never felt like we were ignored for one second, and the taste of the food was definitely worth any penny. Definitely on the pricier side of food in Manchester but for good reason. Came on a Friday night at around 6pm and it was pleasantly quiet. For someone who gets overwhelmed easily, this place was perfect. The music wasn’t too loud, the lights were just right, and the performer there on guitar was also a perfect volume. Would be a great spot for children or adults who get overstimulated easily. P.S., the bartender/server (the one with the beard and the white button up) was very handsome!
