Had both brunch and dinner here. Worth the drive to Woodbridge from Fairfax/Tysons. Overall lovely French restaurant with amazing flavors. French onion soup, escargot, salad, duck, lamb, fried oysters. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

We came to Bistro L'Hermitage for a Sunday brunch and were immediately impressed with the décor. I tried the escargot and the French toast. The escargot, topped with a nicely baked biscuit, was excellent. The French toast was good too but did not stand out as much as the other dish. Overall the service was great and we had a wonderful dining experience.

absolutely awesome experience! the service was phenomenal and the food was delicious! you have got to try the 5 course meal on your initial visit! everything was brought out in a timely manner and our awesome waiter explained the details of every dish that we were served. this is a quaint and special place to visit for any occasion. yes, it is quiet pricey but truly worth it. i think we have found a place where we can go for great food and enjoy the experience of fine dining! my husband and i had a memorable date night and for that, we thank you! we'll be back soon!

I was so lucky to have stumble upon this place. After a long 13hour flight I was hungry and needed a treat. The establishment has a Great feeling and is warm and friendly. The Food is over the top. my meal was perfectly cooked, presentation beautiful and the flavors were a harmony of perfection. My only complaint is i'm back at home and will not know when I'll get to the East Coast again. A huge Maika'i Loa. Fabulous!

Fantastic food - all four of us were very happy with our appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts. Hosts and our server were fantastic. One sub-par server interacted with us a few times as part of their team approach - fortunately the rest of the team made up for him. The vibe was French country inn. Atmosphere was lively and full without being overcrowded or too loud. One guy at our table was too hot, but it felt comfortable to me inside. Upscale without being too fancy or stuffy.

My heart was filled with joy during my Birthday Dinner with my Love at Bistro L'Hermitage - a beautiful French escape in Occoquan. The staff's warm hospitality made us feel instantly at home. Our waiter's exceptional service and personalized recommendations ensured a truly unforgettable birthday dinner experience. The dishes were a harmonious balance of taste and presentation.

Upscale yet kitschy French Rated that was as one of the best restaurants in NOVA by NOVA Magazine The space is ornately decorated and all of the staff are extremely friendly Both indoor and outdoor seating, with indoor bar seating as well Fantastic complimentary bread basket Very extensive menu and wine selection, but limited cocktail options Food was solid, and was presented beautifully, but it took a long time to come out

I came here for my birthday and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the ambiance was charming and cozy. I really liked the scallops - they were so succulent and flavorful! My seabass entree was very indulgent. The risotto was super creamy and buttery, and the sea bass was flaky and tender. The brown sauce under the risotto added some nice acidity to the rich dish. My family ordered the chicken and pork entrees and thought it was quite dry, so not sure if I would recommend those types of dishes. The restaurant gave me a cute chocolate mousse dessert for my birthday, which was tasty and decadent. The service was just ok - it wasn't out of this world, which is what I expected for the high-end prices, and they were quite slow. I would recommend this restaurant for special occasions if you like French food, but I can't say that it's on my list of must-tries, even though I did enjoy my time here.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Bistro L'Hermitage twice now, and both times were absolutely wonderful! The restaurant is a cozy little gem with delicious French food, perfect for a special meal. We've tried a few different things on the menu, and enjoyed everything we've gotten very much. On the most recent visit, we began with two appetizers: the Escargot and the Merguez. The escargot was very different from any I'd ever had before. The sauce was much creamier and heavier than others I've had, with a pure savory presence uncut by any kind of acid. It was very good, but certainly rich to an extreme. It came with a lot of escargot, so I'd actually recommend sharing this one if you don't want to fill up before your entree. The Merguez was also very rich, pairing lamb sausage with roasted vegetables. It was also delicious, and hearty enough to potentially be an entree to someone with a smaller appetite. Both of the entrees I've had here, the Filet de Saumon (salmon) and Coquille St. Jacques (scallops), are excellent. Their seafood is top-tier, and the preparations are lovely. The salmon skin was superbly crispy, and the pesto orzo was a great accompaniment. Similarly, the scallops were perfectly seared on the top and bottom, while still fork-tender. I loved them! My dining companion got the Entrecote (NY steak) on one visit and the Porc Rôti on the other, and we'd certainly recommend either! Both are large portions with generous cuts of meat and lots of vegetables. The desserts are divine as well! For a warm winter dessert, I recommend the Fondant au Chocolat, a decadent molten chocolate lava cake. It's so rich, but not overwhelmingly sweet. For a lighter, cold dessert in the summer, the sorbet is a must-have! Their sorbet is honestly some of the best I've ever had, particularly the raspberry. The service is just as good at the food! The servers kept our glasses filled and plied us with AMAZING warm bread and butter, and generally made sure we had an all-around wonderful experience.
