   Great food, great wine list and wonderful service. A hidden gem. Try the duckling two-ways!

   I really want to like L'Escargot but can't get there. This is our second time eating here in the last 6 months. The environment is nice. The food is good (even the skimpy premade salad and odd looking creme brulee). The wine list is average. The service is okay. The problem is you are paying exorbitant prices for what you get in return. I'm sad to say that we will be skipping L'Escargot on our next visit to Carmel.

   Service was not as attentive. Steak frites was not seasoned well enough and meat cut was not easy

   We absolutely loved our experience at L’Escargot!! The food was so tasty, the atmosphere was cozy but clean and sophisticated and the staff were so welcoming and helpful and attentive. The price is absolutely worth experiencing for an anniversary, date night, or delicious meal with friends. Highly recommend!!

   This place was so good and enjoyable on so many levels, it is difficult to to be honest instead of selfishly keeping it as secret as a place that has been in operation since the late 1950s can be. An absolute treasure in every way.

   Lot’s of good restaurants in Carmel. This is one of the longest survivors (Chef owned) and definitely one of the best.

   Nothing bad to say about this classic restaurant. Great food, kind staff, nice place. We had sole, lobster risotto, beef Wellington and apple tart, with wine by the glass. Perfect. No complaints. Evon is smiling down from above.

    We were celebrating Valentine’s Day on a Wednesday night. We were the first party to arrive and were greeted warmly. Our table was cozy and quiet. The waiter was attentive and informative. The food was delicious and we were surprised by the generous portions. What a gem!
