Well, it was another surprise at one of our favorite restaurants, <a title=\"Vermillion Restaurant\" href=\"http:\/\/vermilionrestaurant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vermilion<\/a>, right down the street from us.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2013\/01\/boutique-birthday-update\/vermilion\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5625\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Vermilion.jpg\" alt=\"Vermillion_Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"264\" height=\"176\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had called in advance to let them know that Piers, our oldest son, would be joining us for drinks and to please seat us somewhere that would accommodate this. We arrived and Peter saw an empty 2-seater table in the window downstairs, which he wanted. The hostess asked, &#8220;Will a third party still be joining you?&#8221; Peter was confused of course and said, &#8220;huh, no let&#8217;s sit at that table.&#8221; She said that they had us upstairs. A little Italian, <em>you messin&#8217; with me<\/em> attitude started to get in his craw and I just diffused it by saying, &#8220;I think they already have us situated upstairs and that other table is reserved.&#8221; I explained to the hostess on the way up that our son was still joining us but just for drinks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2013\/01\/boutique-birthday-update\/vermilion_restaurant\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5623\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Vermilion_restaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Vermillion_Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"214\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Piers showed up just after our <a title=\"Art of Drink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.artofdrink.com\/recipes\/cocktail\/vieux-carre-cocktail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vieux Carr\u00e9s<\/a> arrived and Peter was very surprised. They know how to fix a good drink. Best one I&#8217;ve tasted in a while. I like them better than Sazeracs and felt transported back to my New Orleans hometown. I think Piers showing up was the highlight. Of course we wanted him to stay for dinner just not to order their Tasting Menu. Peter completed his meal with a special birthday single-serving, apple pie tart with a candle and profiteroles (part of his Tasting Menu). They do not disappoint at Vermilion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5626\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5626\" style=\"width: 465px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/2013\/01\/boutique-birthday-update\/vieux_art-of-drink\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5626\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/vieux_Art-of-drink.jpg\" alt=\"vieux-carre_via Art-of-drink on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"465\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/vieux_Art-of-drink.jpg 465w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/vieux_Art-of-drink-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Classic Vieux Carr\u00e9 is described quite accurately + with recipe on Art of Drink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The establishment has seen a lot of change over the years but this restaurant has proved its staying power with a top notch chef and lucky-for-us, just listed in the paper today as being one of the Obamas&#8217; favorite restaurants, which may impact us being able to dine there. I also like their d\u00e9cor. Stephanie Babin, one of the original owners and also from Louisiana, has done a good job giving it a funky New Orleans vibe but I&#8217;d call it &#8220;bordello hip&#8221; with the flocked damask wallpaper panels and lots of red.
