A truly romantic and memorable evening. The food was exquisite, the ambience warm and intimate, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. Dennis was exceptional! He was gracious, knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive, making the night feel effortless and special. A beautiful dining experience we'll be thinking about long after the last course.

An amazing experience and dinner for date night! We were greeted promptly and pleasantly and seated immediately. Our server (s) also greeted us immediately and the prompt, pleasant service continued throughout the visit. The ambience was quaint and pleasant. The food was absolutely delicious and served with lightning speed. This is obviously a well established and well operated restaurant. The price makes it a place for special occasions but it is well worth it for the service and experience. We had the French onion soup and salad verte for appetizers, followed by filet mignon and tuna for meals with crème brûlée for dessert. All of the food was prepared to perfection and served immediately and tasted incredible. My only regret is that it took us so long to visit!

Bistro never fails to deliver an outstanding dining experience! Don't miss the lobster bisque or the beef bourgeon!

We recently moved to Lorton area, and we decided to have our anniversary dinner within the instead of going to the city. We weren't expecting much when we booked our reservation but we left impressed. Food, service, ambiance was just perfect!!! I can't wait to come back and try other dishes!

We had a delicious French meal in a quiet atmosphere and loved the ability to have a conversation while we ate. The scallops were delicious, as were the berry desserts. The wine was from the Loire valley and also delicious with our food. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Staff was very attentive and courteous. Food as always was delicious. Truly a hidden gem and one of our favorite places to celebrate family occasions.

Wedding day dinner. L'Hermitage took our last minute reservation for dinner. The filet mignon was prepared perfectly. Cannot say enough about the exceptional ambiance and food.
This visit to L'Hermitage was our second date to the restaurant and everything from food, service, and vibe exceeded our expectations. Our waiter and other supporting staff that keep our cups full, food hot, and provided great conversations were amazing. The food was fresh from what we can see, presented well and priced accordingly for the type of restaurant. My wife checked out one of the specials for the night while I tried one of the menu favorites (Salmon over Orzo). My wife's food could have used a little more seasoning on the mashed potatoes, but my food was seasoned right in point. For those looking for great food, service, and vibe to match, I would totally recommend checking the place out. Loved our trip and can't wait to go back.

⭐️ 1 Star I've been to this restaurant three times now, and unfortunately the experience has been consistently uncomfortable — to the point where I feel compelled to share. Each time my family and I have visited, we've been the only table the staff hovered over. They stand above us, watch us closely, and make the whole meal feel tense and intrusive. The behavior comes off incredibly snooty and unwelcoming, and it's impossible to ignore how different their treatment is toward other customers. What's most upsetting is that this isn't a one-off incident — it has happened every single time we've eaten here. And as visibly Muslim women wearing hijabs, it genuinely feels like we're being singled out. No other guests seem to receive this level of monitoring or scrutiny. After giving this place multiple chances, it's clear this is a pattern, not a mistake. We won't be returning, and I hope management addresses whatever is causing this discriminatory, uncomfortable atmosphere. No one should feel watched or judged while trying to enjoy a meal.

As always, an exceptional dining experience. The seafood bisque and the lobster with crab-shrimpcake specials were excellent.
