Bistro L'Hermitage

Great restaurant with wonderful service and outstanding food. We always enjoy going there.

Love the service, food, and ambiance!

We spent St. Patrick's Day having brunch @ Bistro L'Hermitage. Carlos is our favorite waiter! He brought over celebratory brut rose since Barry has a new job. The croissants & butter/jam are always worth a cheat. Barry had his favorite smoked salmon platter while I enjoyed the lobster bisque presentation. My entree was traditional Eggs Benedict served with small potatoes. Carlos brought over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Hubby tried a Chicken Reuben (substituting spinach for the warm potato salad). Chocolate lava cake with chocolate ice cream & a lemon tart with raspberry sauce were our desserts. Cappuccino is special because they serve them in huge cups. We are so lucky to have this restaurant in nearby Occoquan!

Terrific meal. We live less than five miles from bistro and have been trying to go for some time now. We finally made it for a celebration of our anniversary and the food and service did not disappoint! Terrific. If you are looking for something quiet, you might choose elsewhere as it's a noisy restaurant. Overall, we thought it was terrific and will be regular patrons.

Great experience and will return. The service was great as was the food. Topped it off with a nice espresso and this place just became our date night location. I wish the single tables weren't so close to the round tables with big groups because there is no space to walk and you're talking over the other table.

Wonderful as always. Perfect for my birthday dinner with my husband.

The food was excellent and the service was outstanding!

Everything was outstanding...nice touch putting a bouquet of flowers on our table - we were celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. Exceptional food (although we ate too much)...exceptional staff. I would highly recommend Bistro L'Hermitage!

Brought a guest who was pleasantly surprised at the overall experience. Matches nyc.

Phenomenal all around. Fantastic service by Carlos...and the food was wonderful!

It is a good restaurant. The appetizers were fantastic, we had the fried oysters, the escargo and the mussels. The caesars salad was very good, not the best I have had, but very good. I had the striped bass and my wife had the salmon. Both of us thought our meals were ok but somewhat lacked flavor. There was no salt or pepper available on the table to enhance the flavors. The balsamic reduction was more like a very dark gravy with little taste. Out service was adequate but we rarely saw our waiter. This has always been a good restaurant, I hope they are not resting on their laurels.

Food was excellent as was the service with the exception of knocking my wine onto my lap. My one recommendation would be to eliminate a few tables so you don’t feel like you’re eating with the people at the next table.

Expensive, but worth it... celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better more romantic place! We will be back...often!

Beautiful place, staff is very efficient and professional. Food was excellent.

Absolutely incredible date night. Stunning food! Couldn’t be happier.

WOULD I recommend Bistro? I would, I have, and I DO, constantly. Have never had better, friendlier service at any restaurant. According to my husband, the entrecote is "the best on the planet," and I've never had better ragout d'escargots anywhere. Guests at the next table said they had lived in Occoquan for 15 years, but that was their first time at Bistro L'Hermitage, "which (we) bitterly regret!"

Wonderful time. The lamb special was amazing.

Never disappointed -always excellent food, great service and a relaxing atmosphere. Thank you.

Outstanding experience, pleasant atmosphere and memorable presentation!

It was OK- long wait for food and noisy. Food was excellent. Servers awesome

Tremendous and elegant evening out to celebrate a birthday. There is always a happy and joyful feeling at the Bistro and the service tonight was impeccable. The shrimp and veal pillard was truly excellent and expertly prepared while the filet was “simply divine” according to my wife. The Bistro is Warm and welcoming, serving up true fine dining.

We come here for all special occasions, worth every penny!

We always have a fabulous time...the food, the service....the Personal touch

Great place to have dinner. The service is great and the food is outstanding!

Thank you for another great experience. Enjoyed the meal your staff is always first clasd.

Excellent food and great service
Duck and lamb were exceptional

Very enjoyable evening celebrating my wife ‘s birthday and the birth of our granddaughter. Excellent food, great drinks

Bistro L'Hermitage is a diamond in an historic town; the ambiance is exquisite; the wait staff is prompt and attentive; and the food is beyond description on every visit ~ from normal menu items to daily specials!

Just special treat .... for a long winter ....

Birthday - great experience. Felt like the team was truly happy to have is there. Food was tremendous. We’ll be returning often.

Daughters birthday was wonderful. The food was perfect.

Carlos was awesome as was the food and atmosphere. I wouldn't want to be there when it was a peak busy time due to closeness of the tables.

We will definitely be coming back here.

As usual, our dining at Bistrot L'Hermitage was exceptional. Please save rppm for sweets, as the bread pudding and apple tart are worth the trip.

Great selection and quality of menu items; excellent service - attentive and friendly without hovering

I took my 15 yr old son for a mom and son dinner date. The restaurant is very nice decorated and has a great ambiance to it, however the open room can get a bit noisy with large groups. (It wasn't too bad). The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We had the escargot which isn't prepared in the completely traditional way, but very tasty. We also had the soup which was silky and smooth. I had a fish dish, cooked perfectly with an amazing sauce. My son chose the lamb duo, also cooked to perfection. And the desserts- delicious! I can't say enough about the service. The owner was there and was walking around talking to guests. Our waiter was prompt, polite and accommodating. I would recommend this place for a nice date-night or special occasion and will definitely be back.

It was an amazing experience

Celebrating a birthday at brunch! Excellent food & a good time.

Wonderfully place a little hidden gem. I've been waiting a few years too dine there I'm so glad I finally did. All the food was really good but the Lobster bisque is something that will make you reconsider soup.

Superb food and a friendly and attentive staff made for a wonderful Valentines dinner with the wife.

Great place, wonderful food, good portions. Tables for 2 were a little too close together but overall, worked out just fine. Would go back again. Great place for a special celebration.
