I found the dining experience rather underwhelming considering its price point. With a bill of nearly $320 for two people, my expectations were higher in terms of quality.

Best food I’ve had in Carmel. They made an amazing Beef Wellington. Bravo!

We had the most delicious dishes Saturday in Carmel. First I started off with the mussels, frog legs, mushroom stuffed escargot, and escargot in the shells! Yummy. My favorites. Then my son got the beef wellington, which was divine, and I got the rack of Lamb! Just exquisite. Prices were a little high for the area I felt, and compared to other really high end restaurants I’ve visited, but everything was spot on and we enjoyed our meal. Thank you.

The service was amazing! The vibe and cute little patio was great too. The only reason why I gave the food 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was disappointed with the beef wellington. It seems to be a favorite, but in my opinion was brand. BUT I had an amazing artichoke soup, diver scallops were INCREDIABLE, and I loved dessert. Overall best resteraunt in Carmel. The chef puts so muxh love into his food.

Escargot in the shell is a must for escargot lovers! 🙂 Beef Wellington special was perfectly done and the restaurant has a great selection of Red Burgundy wines to go alone. Trio of creme brûlée was a nice finishing touch. This is a splurge, special occasion place!

Five star for the service and presentation but lacking on flavor and makes you want to come back. Too pricey about $150+ for 2 people… we tried plenty of food to test and see if they were good but photos failed me. They do everything correctly in cooking/service/followup but just missing that oomph!

Absolutely great experience – one of the best French restaurants I’ve had in a while. We ordered 2 appetizer, escargot and two daily specials (beef wellington and dover sole). All of them are perfectly cooked and served (except for beef wellington, which they cooked the first one too well done, but changed to a perfectly cooked one after we asked). I would also give 10 stars to the dover sole – the fillet is super tender, but beefy (I know it’s a weird description) and balancedly seasoned. Would definitely recommend this place!

L’Escargot was a very pleasant surprise, making up for several disappointing but high-end Monterey Peninsula dinners. The setting is pleasant and quiet, the server very nice and efficient, and — ah! — the dinner:

The food was good and the service was fine, but the value was not there. The website is outdated by $15/ entree. Ultimately, it seems like they cater to the rich and elderly or Carmel. The bread was excellent, but it’s the only thing I’d go back for.

We visited for our 25th anniversary on a weeknight. The restaurant is warm and inviting, on a side street away from the commercial area. East street parking. Sean our server met us at the door and offered us a couple of seating options. He was helpful and guided us to a great wine with our selections. The duck is terrific we enjoyed that with a Pinot. The escargot with mushroom caps were a delight also. This is a charming restaurant in a beautiful spot. It’s actually magical!
