    Never disappoints. Fantastic food, great service. Great jazz music playing in the background. Started out with a free taste of gazpacho then went to a five cheese board. Entrées were delicious and they finished with some free small mini chocolate chip cookies. Definitely my favorite high-end restaurant in the area.

    The food and drinks are always outstanding at The Hermitage. But what really makes it a great place is how friendly the staff is - the manager, bartenders, and servers. We will be back
