“An excellent dining experience, from start to finish. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the flavor combinations blew our minds. The attention to detail in each dish clearly showed the tremendous passion of the staff in the kitchen. Truly an incredible 4 course meal and I highly recommend it for any special occasion. What a visit!“

“Loved the food, Teo our server was exceptional. Cozy yet romantic. A must to enjoy when in Carmel.“

“The most civilized place to dine in Carmel. We are always made to feel like guests visiting a friend in their cozy dining room. As for the soufflés—delicious, a bit decadent and most enjoyable. Given that it's only lunch service, there is no reason not to get 10,000 steps on the beach post-lunch! We will be back!“

“Although we are frequent visitors to Carmel, this was our 1st experience @ L'Escargot.... and definitely not our last! This was our Anniversary Dinner.... The beautiful warm set set was perfect for outdoor dining. The escargot appetizer was done nicely, petrale sole's delicate flavor was not masked by the herb sauce; the classic French Boeuf Bourgogne took me back to our favorite brasserie in Paris!! The service was congenital and personalized... as if we were returning guests!! Merci Beaucoup L'Escargot!!!“

“Beyond amazing. Service ambience and food was impeccable“
