Vermilion
Chef Anthony Chittum's mid-Atlantic cooking comes in at $55 for three courses, starting with chilled sweet corn soup or crispy Chesapeake oysters and moving to cornmeal fried blue catfish, slow cooked beef short rib, or crispy Path Valley eggplant. Curated wine pairings are $30 more. Vermilion is closed Mondays, so the opening day of Restaurant Week is out, but its card runs all the way to September 6.
