    My husband were at Bistro L'Hermitage for Christmas dinner and, as always, everything was absolutely impeccable. The prix fixe menu had quite a few choices for each course, and, also as always, the food was absolutely superb. And then there is the amazing staff. Everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone, worked as an incredible team. From the hostess to each of the waitstaff, you could see each of them constantly scanning the room, promptly removing empty/finished plates, refilling glasses and bread baskets (and oh, that bread!) so that no one in the room needed to flag down a server. The place was packed when we arrived, and yet we only had to wait a few minutes until we were seated. The timing between courses was perfect and as I mentioned earlier, the food was superb. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that, being sensitive to loud restaurants, both my husband and I appreciate that even when completely full, this place remains quite quiet. In short, this is one of my and my husband's favorite local restaurants and love to come here for special occasions - birthdays, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas - or when we feel like being a little indulgent. I don't think it's possible to have a disappointing meal at Bistro L'Hermitage and highly recommend a visit.

    Bistro L’Hermitage is a delightful with a beautifully decorated dining room, offering comfortable and warm ambiance, along with five star service and exquisite cuisine. This restaurant is the best thing within 50 miles. I cannot recommend it more highly.

    We always enjoy Sunday Brunch @ Bistro l'Hermitage. Table #2 is saved for us. Carlos checks to see if we need anything & sends over glasses of wines. We usually order the same dishes (especially the lox platter, strip steak & desserts). Barry is a Chocoholic so he gets the molten chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream. I like variety so I get the dessert trio. We get cappucino in the original big mugs (they only serve them to us). We highly recommend this restaurant!

    Always great food. Service wasn't as up to par this time. They're now trying to insist on checking coats. Other than that, the best Woodbridge has to offer.
