Each week, the Volante will feature a review of a local restaurant. If you want us to review somewhere special, tweet us at @VolanteVerve. Vermillion has a lot to offer. On Main Street alone, there are quaint shops, movie theaters and bars which offer a variety of quality products, even if the prices are slightly […]
