As the Historic Occoquan Waterfront Area welcomes L'Hermitage, a Classic French Bistro, we welcome you. Long time DC restaurateur (21 Federal/Bob Kinkead (RIP),Ex Co-Owner of Marcels DC, Watergate Hotel F&B) Youssef Eagle Essakl has transformed a building and the surrounding property in historic downtown Occoquan into his vision of a Romantic French country bistro.

    This was my first time and it was great! The staff were wonderful and very accommodating to my needs. The food was exquisite! It’s a great date-night, family oriented, and venue for friends to connect. I will return.

    As always, the experience was outstanding! Our waiter Denis, made sure our celebration of a retiring first responder was top shelf and made her really feel special for her first experience at the Bistro.

    Wonderful dining experience. Service, cuisine, and ambiance all to notch. (And get the fried oysters as a starter, no matter what you do!)

    The food and service were excellent, as always! Since it was Mother’s Day, it took longer than normal to be seated and for our food to arrive. However, we love the ambiance, the food, the wait staff and overall customer service - it’s still our favorite restaurant for special occasions!
