Restaurants near Gunston Hall

We had peanut soup for starter and then shrimp and grits, mushroom flatbread, jambalaya and BLT with green tomatoes. Everything was delicious. Our server Alex was great. Very accommodating and super friendly. A great lunch despite the restaurant being very busy.

The food and service are always great here. A gem!!!

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.

We have dined at Firebirds several times as a couple, but this time we were in a large party and went there for a celebration. The staff was very accommodating, the service was prompt and professional. The food was beautifully prepared and presented and was a great value.
