Dining room at Vermilion, Chicago, ILOn paper, Vermilion---which melds contemporary Indian food with a variety of Latin American cuisines---sounds like a bad idea. But step inside this River North restaurant and you’ll find a sleek and stylish room filled with beautiful black-and-white photographs, modern leather couches and cozy booths. Then there’s the food, which includes dishes such as tandoori skirt steak with fresh pico de gallo, artichoke pakoras with eggplant-chili-coconut sauce and lamb chops with minty red onion salad. Somehow, the menu manages to combine flavors and ingredients from very diverse cuisines in ways that truly work---at least much of the time. So much for first impressions. Not ready to dive in? Opt for small plates from the tapas menu, which range from a duck vindaloo arepa to coconut-chile mussels. Vegetarians are welcome here---they even get their own menu.
