   Visiting friends in the area and Bistro L’Hermitage was recommended. It did not disappoint! The food and service were wonderful. Everyone at our table raved about the food, especially the shrimp cake sandwich. We would definitely go back- and highly recommend.

   I went to this restaurant for their weekend brunch and to have Eggs Benedict. I started with the lobster bisque which was very good. The Eggs Benedict followed and it’s presentation was excellent. The hollandaise sauce stayed right on the egg. The muffin was the correct size. The food had an excellent taste. Potatoes was served with the eggs. I had coffee after the meal to complete a grand experience.

    It never disappoints. We come here often, especially when we have something to celebrate. The food is always great, combining a great inventiveness and blend of flavors. Service is always impeccable, especially if you get Carlos, we cannot compliment him enough.

    My first time here and it was amazing! You may think the price is high but the quality of the food and the service is well worth the price. My wife and I are planing to have our 50th anniversary there. We are so looking forward to our guests experiencing this Resturant.

    I went here with my fiancé and it was absolutely incredible. It was like bringing Paris home. We got the lobster bisque, salad verde, escargot, and new york strip steak. If you want to try escargot, this is the PERFECT place to do it! ~Amazing~ We will definitely be back. I only wish we had left room to try dessert!

    Food and service were top-notched. I'm very pleased with both and will recommend this restaurant to others. I was uncomfortable with the close proximity of the patrons and asked to be moved outside because of COVID and inside-ventilation concerns. The hostess quickly and happily accommodated me. So, I am pleased the last minute switch as not a hassle.

    We had a wonderful birthday dinner for Barry here. Got our favorite table & Carlos spoiled us. Tried new dishes. Hubby loved the Mussel Gratin & Rack of Lamb. I ordered my favorite Foie Gras and "Surf & Turf". Tastes of 2 white wines & a Bordeaux. We each ordered a dessert and they sent over another. Ended our feast with big cups of Cappuccino. It certainly did not feel like a supply chain crisis.

    The restaurant was charming and the table spacing/noise level allowed for a quiet conversation--something worth a great deal these days in fine dining. Service was almost over-attentive, and a that made the pacing a little rushy for a relaxing dinner from appetizer to entree. The staff uses a team system so that over time we were greeted by at least 4-5 different staff members for service and they definitely kept things moving. The appetizers were excellent. We had escargots--very generous portion and a real throwback dish--and crispy oysters with a lovely avocado sauce. The entrees were disappointing though the portions were considerable. The mahi mahi was slightly overcooked and a little too salty; the veggies were beautifully presented but very plain, though the sauce was well executed. The veal cutlets were extremely salty, overseasoned, and not quite tender, esp. at $45. I expected a lot more from that dish. However, the accompanying pasta purses were delicate, buttery--didn't even need a sauce--and almost made up for the veal. Kudos for the almond cake with vanilla ice cream; I was also surprised and delighted to see Sabayon served warm with berries (something rare--another throwback) but the sweetness I was looking for from the marsala or madeira wine wasn't there. It seemed that their version of the dish was far more muted, perhaps with citrus, and didn't give me the sweet kick that I was hoping for, and was slightly flat in the custard. That said, I would definitely come back to try more of the classic dishes. I am gratified to see that in the era of post-covid menus with limited options, L'Hermitage had a full classic menu of several pages in addition to a long list of chef's specials and a solid wine list. Since this was only our first time at L'hermitage, I suspect that if you know what dishes to order here, you probably will be very pleased. Since we're local, I'm sure we'll give it another try.

    Le Bistro L'Hermitage is one of the finest restaurants in the DC Metro area and one of the few best French restaurants I have been to. The service is always attentive, the cuisine delicious and the ambiance inviting. We have been going to Le Bistro L'Hermitage for decades and it has always been the place to go for a special occasion, out with good friends and family or on a date to impress.

    We went to the bistro based on really great past experiences. It never disappoints. I had the onion soup and she had the lobster bisque as a starter. We both ordered the mahi-mahi. It came on a bed of spinach with mashed potatoes. The food was very well-prepared and was excellent. For dessert she had the crème brûlée and I had the bread pudding. We polished everything off with decaf espresso. Our table was back in a corner and we enjoyed our time there.

    My dining companion has never been to France, and she had never eaten at a fine French restaurant. Diana and the busman took great care of us, and the food was positively French (read excellent!) I was pleasantly surprised and we will definitely be back.

    Bistro L'Hermitage is a class above in service and food. The service was excellent as everyone was friendly and attentive. Not a cheap dining experience, but an excellent one as the food and drinks were outstanding. All in all, well worth the price given the overall excellence place to celebrate a special event (was our 54th wedding anniversary).
