Bistro L'Hermitage

Great place. Dinner was delicious
The staff so professional

Great as always.

Food was outstanding, best French Onion soup I have ever had!! Service was excellent! We will definitely return.

Superb selection and service. Menu options were also exceptional. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and I found our waiter very attentive. Atmosphere was cozy and intimate. Would unhesitatingly recommend it to friends.

This is an amazing place to eat. The service was impeccable, and the food was fantastic. We shared the muscles with tomato appetizer, excellent! One of us enjoyed the tuna and the other the lamb chops. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We shared a fantastic dinner with friends. Two of us had a chefs special of lobster tail and shrimp-crabcake.
Absolutely wonderful!

Ambiance was delightful. Service outstanding. Food was above average - expensive.

We love this place! We come here all the time and the food is always amazing. Great service and wonder ambiance 👍

Always wonderful service and good food. Would like to see them change up the menu and wine selections and offer more specials.

For our anniversary, we experienced the 5-course chef's tasting menu. Each item was excellent and a good value.

Everything was wonderful. Our wait staff were attentive. It was a crew of people. A couple of them seemed not happy. The rest were friendly and helpful.

The food was delicious and the service was absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend Bistro L'Hermitage for special occasions. No need to drive all the way to DC - truly a hidden gem!

We really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere Bistro L’Hermitage. So nice not having to listen to loud pounding music like so many restaurants inflict on patrons these days. I’m not sure how authenticly French the food is here but it was delicious and the presentation was mangnifique. Look forward to returning to try some of the other menu offerings.

Always outstanding! They never miss. You're treated special the moment you walk through the door.

This was my second visit to Bristo L’Hermitaged and it was absolutely as faboulous as my first visit. I highly recommend this restaurant for a exquisite dining experience.

Nice food, nice ambiance and best of all was the great service.

Dennis our waiter was amazing!

A wonderful restaurant with excellent service, food and atmosphere. The perfect place for a special occasion.

Great French formal dining to experience an anniversary--very good lamb, fish and duck entrees. Also, highly recommend the mussels gratin for an appetizer. Highly professional staff and great deserts!!!

Brunch was excellent. Servers were attentive and knew serving 'rules'. i.e. not removing dishes until everyone was finished, not interrupting conversations to ask 'how is everything?' etc. Water glasses filled without being asked. Food was excellent and good portions. My husband and I split the smoked salmon starter and our friends split the onion soup as a starter. Portions were healthy and we felt good value for the money. We had the omelette of the day and my friend had the crab sandwich. We'll definitely go again and maybe try one of the tasting menus they offer.

Service is wonderful. Food is fabulous. Very pricey but very good.

We went to Bistro L'Heritage to celebrate my son and daughter in law's announcement that they are expecting their first child. The food and service was exceptional and we had a great time. The only recommendation that I have is that the waiter should always ask if a special event is being celebrated. It would make the experience a little more special.

Great food with great atmosphere! I highly recommend this restaurant.

In a word, superb. Hassan as always, Heidi, and Carlos make this experience better. The Chef, she is glorious. And Youssef’s vision is a marvelous success. The entire staff is aligned to the restaurant’s aim of an elegant experience and complete customer satisfaction. Cheers, Tom

Very good atmosphere and the staff was attentive but respected our pace of dining. This was our 39th anniversary dinner and we were very happy with the overall service.

One area they can work on is an expanded wine by the glass selection, I wanted a good French red but there is a limited offering.

My second time at the Bistro and really enjoyed. A gem tucked away in a surprising location.

The food, drink, atmosphere, and service is always outstanding. Our entire family cannot seem to frequent the Bistro as much as they want to, in spite of the fact that much of the family has to travel hours to dine at this marvelous experience. Having dined in many of the finest restaurants through out the world, none out- shine the Bistro. Dining here is always an exciting experience well worth making it a priority destination.

The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! We have been there twice and look forward to another visit. Highly recommend Bistro L'Hermitage!

First time here and was absolutely impressed all the way around. Such a great menu. Will definitely be back. Great place and great service.

The food was very good, especially the banyuls sauce on a dish of haddock(ever so slightly dry) and shrimp. Lovely desserts. But the highlight of the evening was the superb service, always attentive without being intrusive. Bistro is always rated among Virginia's best and never disappoints.

Our friends visited us from South Carolina so we wanted to treat them to an early 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinner celebration. Bistro L'Hermitage did not disappoint! We enjoyed a delicious meal and conversation and superb service. The wait staff were very accommodating and saw to our every need including a requests for a special bar order. We were proud to introduce our friends to this special place and thrilled that they enjoyed it. We always enjoy our special outings to the Bistro and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a very special place for a romantic or get together dinner with friends.

Our service was outstanding, the food excellent, and we enjoyed the ambiance very much. Our occasion was very special and we found 3-4 other couples celebrating their anniversaries as well. It's a very special place for an important occasion.

We always come to this restaurant for celebrations. The owners are so hospitable and the food is delicious.

This was our (my wife and I) second experience at Bistro L'Hermitage. We had visited on Mothers Day earlier this year and had a wonderful experience. This visit was our anniversary, and we wanted to go back and enjoy the "regular" menu and share a romantic evening. I have to say that the food, as expected, was excellent. Absolutely nothing negative to say about the entrees, the drinks, nor the coffee and complimentary dessert we enjoyed in celebration of our big day. The only thing I would change is the seating arrangements. For our anniversary, we had expected a bit more privacy in seating. Tables for two are arranged in a row, and it's almost like you're at a table with dozens of other people. We could hear every conversation from those sitting on either side of us, and the tables are long when a couple sits at each end, thus requiring you to speak louder than normal just to be heard. When everyone has to do that, the noise level goes up quite a bit and your conversation becomes everyone's conversation. Not quite what we expected from one of the "Top 100 most romantic restaurants in America", as the framed Conde Nast advertising picture at the entrance proudly proclaims. The restaurant is relatively small, but I would definitely give some thought to reducing the number of tables to create a more intimate environment worthy of the "romantic restaurant" claim. There's nothing romantic about listening (unintentionally) to other couples celebrating anniversaries and having to worry about others overhearing your own intimate conversation on such a special night. But my wife and I do love the place and will most likely return again. You can't find food so delicious anywhere nearby !!

A favorite restaurant of mine. Had wonderful gazpacho full of flavor and the sea bass which was perfectly done. My friend got the lobster bisque and scallops that were Kodak worthy. Service is consistently attentive. Highly recommend!

Wife’s Birthday: The customer Service is outstanding. The waiter was very knowledgeable and his suggestions were amazing. The only thing i didn’t care for was the desserts but to each its own. You may love it!

Bistro L'Hermitage is the perfect restaurant. All our friends absolutely love this place. The food and service is consistently excellent. With the formal table settings and white linens, It feels like an elegant European restaurant . It truly is a gem in Occoquan.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere; one of those places you want to go back to.

Exceptional meal! We had a wonderful time for our anniversary. Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is romantic. We had the chef special appetizer tomato and mozzarela with crystalized basil, and the poached shrimp with watermelon coctail sauce. Both were amazing! The crystalized basil was totally unique and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. For our meal we had the paillard of veal with pappardelle, and the duo of hangar steak with lobster tail. Blown away with how delicious they both were. Scrumptious sauces and perfectly done meats. We ordered the champagne risotto and the sauteed mushrooms as our sides. Both were well done, but we had way too much to eat, we didn't need to order the sides, as the entree's were certainly enough to eat, that we brought home leftovers! For dessert we ordered the pistachio and the peach cobbler. We were served the creme brulee from the restaurant for our anniversary! OMG, I could make a meal on just the desserts. The creme brulee was the best by far, that either of us has ever had. The pistachio was light and very yummy, and the peach cobbler was crumb topped, crispy and very peachy and spiced just right. In everything, we had a totally enjoyable and rewarding time. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates a great, great meal!

A great location for special occasion dining. Superb service and delicious food.
