Wow!!!! This place is so wonderful!!! First of all it is beautifully decorated. The open kitchen adds to the fun, watching all the beautiful dishes being made. Second of all, the staff is friendly and helpful. And most of all the food was absolutely outstanding. We were tired and hungry and boy were we pleasantly rewarded with an amazing meal. We had the duck, the wild boar parpadella, the boeuf bourguignon, and the lamb pops. All of them absolutely delicious. My friend sopped up every last bit of duck sauce with bread...the chef even held his plate up for the cooks to see! This is THE place to eat in Kanab. I'd give this place 10 stars if the app would let me! read more

The food was amazing!! Everyone at our table was very satisfied and full. We had a great experience! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the atmosphere did get a little tense as they got more busy. However, it's understandable with being a new business. I hope they really make a name for themselves because the food was great! read more

O. M. G. Amazing sums it up. It's what every dining experience should be. We are from North Jersey & admittedly are somewhat harsh restaurant critics, but this place checked all the boxes. My family is French, and I'll confess that I'm not all that drawn to a restaurant when I hear it's French. In my mind that means small portions...LOL. Vermillion 45 has a wide variety of offerings and the serving sizes are excellent. We had a burger, wild boar pappardelle, vegetable curry, a salad & garlic soup. Each was fantastic. We spent 4 nights in Vegas, 2 in Kanab & 2 in Sedona & this was our best meal of the whole trip. I only wish we had both our Kanab dinners here! Special shout out to Sharon (the hostess) and Jamie (our waitress). They could not have been sweeter & Sharon especially went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We felt like old friends by the time we left. As far as the reviews that claim service is lacking, I couldn't disagree more. GO HERE! read more

We were debating on eating at this restaurant and before even entering the server rudely shouted that we could not park in the parking lot unless we were dining there. Wow, decision was easily made for us. Cant tell you how the restaurant actually was because we were chased off before even going in. Guess that's what we get for parking and then walking around for a minute. read more

Gaspacho best Ive eaten short of my friend Annette's kitchen (fellow Spanish teacher). Nice Shrimp Louie, grilled with a little char. NOT overcooked!!!!!! Lamb Currie with rice and veggies to top it off. Great service. OK it was pricey, but who expects 5 star cuisine in a little town in southern Utah. I didn't, but I got it!! read more

With how the place looked I was expecting it to be a lot better than it was. I got the kanab king burger and my husband got the swordfish sandwich. Both were extremely bland and just unappetizing. Will not be eating here again read more

Extremely disappointed. Our first experience was poor due to the bad service we received from a lady who acted like she did not want to be there. We asked for duck but they were out so we tried the salmon which was excellent. Nevertheless, the lack of service an attention ruined the experience. We decided to come back the next day to try the duck with a different server. The service was ok but they brought stale bread and the duck was undercooked and chewy like gum. At first I thought I had a bad knife but my wife warned me not to eat it after she tried the first bite. We did not want to create a drama, paid and decided never to return. C'est la vie! C'etait une experience tres decevante! read more

Was a nice surprise to find in the middle of nowhere. Had to sit outside at winter but the waiter brought over an outdoor heater. He recommended the escargot and trout, the escargot wasn't slimy at all and was delightful in the garlic butter, and the trout was very fresh and light and the ratatouille underneath was a welcome refresher. We shared the tri tip as well and it was cooked perfectly. Next time we will save room for dessert and maybe another glass of wine. read more

Extremely disappointed in quality of food and arrogance of chefs. As seniors we routinely share a meal, chef would not split ANY entree and when we decided we would split our own meal we were provided with dessert size plates, no serving utensils and no assistance from the wait staff. The chicken Marsala we ordered and split had gummy pasta, the chicken was ok, nothing special & certainly not Michelin quality. The chef did not acknowledge any dissatisfaction with our meal. We will not be back. read more

Great restaurant find in Kanab. So yeah it's a little speedy but you won't go away hungry or disappointed. Like many restaurants in the area European tourist abound which makes the people watching fun in this French themed family restaurant. Excellent hearty food. We will be back every visit. read more

Great new restaurant in Kanab! The open kitchen is beautiful, the decor lovely. I had the Duck Confit- perfection. My Bf had the Tuna- very generous portion. It's nice to see a cheese selection at the end of the meal, as it should be! Unfortunately, we were too full. We tried to go back Monday, but they were closed . The prices are very reasonable, for what they have on the menu. We can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing food! Everything we ordered were super delicious! My veggie curry was so so so good. After driving a day we looked up different ones on yelp and decided to go here. Totally worth it!!! We finished with tasty deserts! Definitely recommend. read more

This is the best food, service, and atmosphere i have had in months. Sharon is the true gem of this restaurant. She does just about everything except cook, she is the warmest person I've met in a long time, and truly made my experience here what it was. Without her, it wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. Courtney was our server, and she was also amazing. But if you go, and you should, definitely say hello to Sharon! read more

I really enjoyed sitting at the bar, and watching all the kitchen action. I could have watched the desserts being made all night! I had the roasted pear and bleu cheese salad with added chicken breast, and truffles for dessert. Everything was delicious. I'll be back to try the mushroom risotto and the ratatouille! read more

Food was 5 stars, service was zero. Forgot the appetizer and they brought it after the entrees. We paid full price for it and said we were willing to do that. They refused a drink to our party saying they weren't sure how far we had to travel. I can understand that if we were boisterous or disruptive, but we were not, and even after pointing out that we were at the hotel across the street they still did not bring the drink. It was only the third drink for one person, who was also drinking plenty of iced tea and water. They again forgot our dessert until we asked about it. Wish I could say they were busy, because that would have forgiven a lot of the delays, but instead of apologizing they blamed the wait on us. read more

Very good meal! Nice atmosphere. Good service considering how tight things are right now! Left very satisfied.

I got the lobster soup and salmon. They were both very delicious. The restaurant was very cozy and had a nice romantic vibe. In my opinion the bill was a little on the high side but for the limited options I had in the little town, I chose to go here and did not regret it. read more

We've been back twice now. Service is still excellent, Bree is always so fun and helpful. Sydnee was sweet and on top of helping with desert questions. The manager checked in to see if everything was to our liking. The food has been amazing. Great burgers, and my new favorite Risotto, whether the Sea Scallop option or the Wild Mushroom for a Veg. option, excellent... Now for the important notes..Sorbet, gelato, creme brulee, chocolate mousse deliciousness! The desserts are amazing! Great job Vermillion 45. read more

This was an unexpected, excellent surprise. We were in Kanab. The French food was excellent and the deserts were amazing. So glad we ventured here while passing through. read more

Very nice restaurant in small town. Cross street from Holiday Inn Express. All food and drinks is so good and very nice service here.

Great little restaurant in the middle of nowhere (Kanab, UT), serving very fine French/Italian cuisine. Definitely worth five stars in this area where it would otherwise be difficult to find any sophisticated restaurants. Had the French Onion Soup and Lobster Gnocchi, both very tasty. Highly recommended if you are in the area, and even if it involves a short detour. read more

Went there last night. Food was OK, not great. DW loved the Salmon, I was disappointed in the short ribs. The waiter needs a bit of training but it's a new restaurant, so he'll most likely improve. if not? Well.... I will give it another chance but short ribs is one of my favorites and sorry to say I'll not order it again. Overall they've done a nice job with the architecture and their presentation. We sat at the bar where it was engaging to talk with the chef and sous chef as food was prepared so it was good entertainment. Seems like the gnocchi and spaghetti was popular. Next time I'll make sure to get a good explanation from the waiter before ordering. This time he was very timid and not very prompt with wine and bread. And please get over the trite..."Hi, I'm Ken and I'll be your waiter" read more

This restaurant exceeded my expectations (& they were fairly high to begin with). Excellent food, warm, rustic, romantic vibe inside. We ordered the mushroom risotto, curry veggies, fries & kids pasta with a side of veggies. The gelato (made in house) was also incredible! The risotto was cooked to perfection, curry veggies were so flavorful & the pasta & veggies was a hit with the kid. The staff were warm, kind and professional. Worth every penny! read more

What a wonderful gem to find! Beautiful French and Italian food prepared with fresh ingredients and with wonderful depths of flavor and nuance. I will gladly return! read more

Please avoid this restaurant at all cost. Started out with bread, which could've been used as a hockey puck, all joking aside. Had to ask for butter which came late and didn't help with this hard bread. I order the seafood risotto and it arrived luke warm and withing an hour I had diaharea and was throwing up. My son had the duck and said there were pieces of duck skin that were so undercooked, it ruined the rest of the meal. We watched him as he spit it out on the plate. My wife and our daughter in law had the beef Roulade de Boeuf et Asperges, which was so tough, my wife couldn't cut it with her knife and my daughter in law said her knife wasn't sharp enough to cut through it. I fell victim to their own disclaimer listed at the bottom of the menu which reads... Consuming raw or uncooked seafood, shellfish may increase risk of food borne illness. $176 for the meal, no drinks, just to get sick and ruin our night. Only wish I could've given them a negative star. read more

Very nice. Small town and what a nice surprise. You can feel the effort of the restaurantneur. Good ambience. I recommend this place.

Went by at 9:45. Was told that they closed early today because it was a Holliday even though they are supposed to be open until 11:00. Was confronted just for trying to go inside. Please don't post the hours you will be open if you won't be open those hours. read more

I ate here with my family my last night in Kanab. Every single dish we ordered was amazing. Great flavor. I will say the portions for some meals are on the smaller side, so you may want to order a few appetizers or jot be completely starving when you come here. read more

What a pleasant surprise. Driving through Utah heading to Arizona it was getting late and we knew we had to eat somewhere on the way or else end up with fast food. As we looked up towns on the way with late night hours V45 came up and we are so glad it did. The food was excellent and we have no complaints about the service. Escargot was cooked perfect and everything came out piping hot. We would definitely recommend it to anyone we know heading to this area. read more

Superb! Have enjoyed several dinners here. The food is beautifully prepared and presented. Small plate portions. The freshest ingredients. Having lived and traveled extensively in France, I can say it's a genuine delight to have such beautiful and meticulously presented french fare here in our little town. It's the real deal! read more

The food is absolutely excellent and the owner provided us with great service and great food! We thoroughly enjoyed it and did not expect such a great place in a small town. Highly recommended to anyone coming through this way! read more

Love the place. Awesome food prepared by the chef Cesidio, super tasty, and awesome staff ! I definitely recommend, I got the duck breast and pork chop, all were fantastic ! read more

Absolutely love this restaurant and everything about the dining experience. As a family that spends part of the year in Kanab for the last 30 years I highly recommend this restaurant as one of the top in Kanab. read more

The reason for the 3 stars is simple: the food, in the heart of a sleepy town of 4,600 people is probably one of the BEST food we've had during our travels, but the service...just killed it; we felt forgotten by our actual server, Justin (we think that's his name-youngish guy in his 30s w/ bald or shaved head in a red uniform). Only 50% of the tables were occupied. Different folks tried to 'step in' to help (such as take our app or drink order), the Chef actually served us our food, and the maitre d' checked up on us a couple of times. BUT, as grateful as we were for the assistance, those all took a long time too...not that we were in a rush, but it didn't feel good when other tables were being tended to, and we were forgotten altogether. Really unfortunate. The ambience was chic yet comfy, but truly the food was excellent! Just really disappointed at our server...oh well, hopefully the manager sees this and ensures that all servers pay a little more attention to their guests moving forward. read more

This wonderful little gem is a fine mixture of warm Italian hospitality and delicious French food! Jordan will take care of you.

What a find in the middle of small town isolated Utah! Food was excellent, service was even better. Could not have been nicer people. Steak was good, Lobster Bisque yummy. Gelatos and sorbets for dessert. Nice patio and they were super sweet about our dog bringing her a water bowl. Highly recommended. They are even open (and busy) on Wednesdays! read more

I was staying in Kanab for the weekend alone and noticed this was one of the few places open late in town. I sat at the bar where you can watch the chefs work their magic. I was offered complimentary bread and butter while I waited (I wish I would have asked what kind of bread they were serving because I really liked one of them, it had nuts and a hint of something sweet lol). The soup and pasta I ordered were both delicious, and reasonably priced compared to a meal I had at a different restaurant nearby. Most importantly, all of the staff members were friendly and attentive, so shout out to the team working the evening of April 13th! I felt very welcome. Thank you for making my stay in town that much more special. read more

Stumbled upon this gem while on our drive to to Zion! The food is authentic and the staff is incredibly kind:) all around a great experience both of the times we ate here! read more

First of all I made a reservation and was seated in a semi timely manner given COVID but then it was 25 minutes until anyone even took my drink order! The food was lack luster, and service was terrible (though the wait staff seem like they were trying, maybe they were understaffed?) my dinner was 2 hours and the food was meh, I can make a better steak at home. The creme brûlée was the best thing I had, but overall I do not recommend. read more

Don't ask for a menu! Just talk to the staff and ask them what's good on the day, you can't go wrong. Everything here is superb. The staff are great, the wines are excellent. read more
