L'Escargot Carmel-by-the-Sea Reviews from The Last Year
Came here early on a sunday night.
My girlfriend and i were the first ones to be seated that night but the host/waiter was incredible, didnt rush us at all and let us enjoy slowly. The appetizers were our favorite part of the meal, enjoying the escargot with mushroom caps and the french onion soup, both incredibly tasty. Mains were beef wellington and lobster risotto. Both cooked well but didnt compare to the appetizers. Such a cute vibe and wonderful service.
My husband and I dined here for my birthday dinner.
After reading rave reviews, we were underwhelmed with the whole experience. The restaurant is cramped, awkwardly quiet and the wait staff was attentive but slow. We started with an appetizer and salad, which were incredibly average. My husband ordered the duckling, which had good flavor but was very dry. The beef Wellington was phenomenal, the saving grace of the whole meal. We also ordered the crème brûlée islands for dessert, which took forever to come out and tasted like it had been sitting out. Overall, the food wasn't worth the price and there was nothing redeemable about the ambience.
My girlfriend and I came here on a Saturday night for a
My girlfriend and I came here on a Saturday night for a date night. I would recommend making reservations beforehand as they are only open limited hours. The outside was quaint and fit Carmel's vibes perfectly. We ended up ordering 3 things: escargot with mushroom caps, duck cooked two ways, and the beef Wellington. Escargot (5/5) This was probably the best escargot I've had and I would recommend getting them with the mushroom caps because they help hold flavor so well. The sauce is great as well. Highly recommend Duck cooked two ways (4.5) The duck was cooked perfectly two different ways and had nice flavor to it. The roasted potatoes offered a nice crunch to the dish and tied everything together really well. Only reason why this isn't is a 5 is I probably would've just preferred this dish without the duck confit. Although it was good, I'm personally not a huge duck confit guy but it was cooked well. Beef Wellington (5/5) We decided to order the beef wellington because it was on their special today and it definitely didn't disappoint. We've attempted a couple of wellingtons at home before so we really wanted to try this one. What's unique about their wellington is they actually have a mushroom truffle duxelles that gives it just that extra little flavor boost. The pastry was nice and flaky when biting into it and of course, the filet mignon inside was cooked to a perfect medium rare. This was probably the dish of the night for me and would recommend getting! Overall, I think L'Escargot is a great date night spot for you and your partner. It has a great ambiance, great food, and great service. Everything you need for a perfect night out with your partner.
Came here for our anniversary dinner and wow! Everything
Came here for our anniversary dinner and wow! Everything was cooked perfectly. I ordered: -Escargot stuffed mushroom cups (5/5) So glad we opted for this over the one in the classic shell. Much more flavorful in my opinion. -Beef Wellington (4.5/5) I have never tried a beef Wellington made professionally before so I definitely wanted to try this. The mushroom duxelles had truffle in it which made it delicious. Definitely worth a try if you've never tried beef Wellington before! -Duck prepared two ways (4/5) Duck was cooked to perfection. Good but I enjoyed the other dishes more. The restaurant was very romantic. I would say it is perfect for date night or an anniversary dinner. Servers were also very attentive. I had a great experience here!

It's a block from where I live and my neighbors have always raved about it. Went last for the first time after being invited to enjoy an NYE dinner with them. If I could give a 10 Star rating, I would. This small neighborhood French restaurant is over the top good. I WILL be back. And soon!
An intimate dining experience with very knowledgeable wait
An intimate dining experience with very knowledgeable wait staff and great food! I very much felt like we were dining amongst locals as the 3 tables near us had been patrons of L'Escargot since the 70s/80s. This was where my grandparents ate on their honeymoon, and getting to eat here with them 60+ years later was such a special experience.
Outstanding food and service.
We would go there again when visiting Carmel. Ambiance reminded us of a simple bistro in Paris.
My partner and I came here for our anniversary celebration,
My partner and I came here for our anniversary celebration, and we're so glad we chose L'Escargot for our dinner! Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner. The interior was well appointed with different French posters and prints that felt very similar to bistros we've been to in Paris, and the tables are spaced far enough apart that it feels more intimate yet not crowded. We really enjoyed the enthusiasm our server brought to the table, and he told us that the scallops special dish has been quoted as the best scallops some customers have ever had. With that level of endorsement, we had to try them! Along with the scallops, we also got the french onion soup, the mixed greens salad, and the duckling prepared two ways. The french onion soup was absolutely perfect -- not overly heavy, super flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot! The mixed greens salad was also a standout, and the scallops were perfectly tender and extremely generous in size! The only slightly letdown was the duckling, which erred more on the side of a medium-well preparation whereas I prefer duck to be more rare. I also wished that there was more intense raspberry flavor in the demi glace. We topped it off with a vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate cake dessert, which was also just about right -- not too sticky and not too dry, and the sweetness wasn't overpowering the way that I tend to be afraid of chocolate cakes. All in all, we were very happy with our meal and the setting, but I'd definitely choose the scallops over the duck next time!
Great meal and servíce
Food and service were both exemplary. The appetizers and main course were delicious. Staff helped us celebrate my son’s birthday. Will return next visit
Wow.. I will preface my review by saying that this is a
Wow.. I will preface my review by saying that this is a must try spot .. even if you're not into French food. This little culinary haven operates only for a couple dinner hours, so the attention and food quality you'll experience is quite special and intimate. It was my first time trying the coveted 'beef Wellington' and let me tell you - I felt the gaze of the entire team looking for positive reinforcement during my first bite.. it was a success! Perfectly cooked when cut in half. Well done team! The true winner though was the lamb. (How do you do it?! No words) Everything else was delicate and well portioned. Make sure to pair w/ a bold red. Bonus: the off the menu cheese cake (ask for it!) was made of a farmers cheese-- so definitely not your 'cream cheese delight' type deal. Enjoy
Wouldn't come back again.
Decent food, but just isn't worth the prices they charge. I ordered the escargot since it was thats its namesake. Not a fan of food that doesn't taste good unless it's doused in sauce. I also got a rabbit spaghetti special, which seemed popular that day considering I heard the waitress telling another table that they only had two more servings of it. The rabbit was too lean and tough for me. As for my companion, he got a lamb entree for their regular menu. Honestly the lamb impressed me more than the escargot and the rabbit special combined. The service was excellent. The bread and butter were also good. I just wish the food that wasn't bread matched.
Dinner at L'esargot
We enjoyed our dinner (we both ordered steak frites). . They forgot to add the beurre rouge sauce.
Good, but Hit & Miss
We were looking for a fine dining experience in Carmel and chose this one for one of our nights. We got a table outside with heaters. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Our starter was excellent, the onion and goat cheese tart and house cured olives. Next course was the soup, my husband's onion soup was pretty good. My mushroom soup was lacking both body and flavor. I was able to improve it a bit with butter from the table and a splash of red wine from my glass. It could use some cream or bacon or both, and some herbs of some kind. I had Beef Wellington, which was excellent, my husband had the fresh fish, which was not. It was over cooked and contained a lot of dark meat. The steamed veggies were also overdone. Overall, it was a nice meal, but with a little bit more attention in the kitchen could be brilliant.

Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

Can come from a lot of places, people who don't want to get charged their cancellation fee or people who just have them and cant go.

almost all restaurants aren't affiliated with AT and I'm guessing it's mostly people wanting to not pay cancellation fees.
