L'Escargot is a classic French restaurant located in Carmel-By-The-Bay, offering a cozy and intimate dining experience. The ambiance evokes the romance of Paris, with an elegant and inviting atmosphere. The staff is warm and hospitable, providing thorough explanations of the dishes. The menu features rich sauces, good wine, and generous portion sizes at reasonable prices.
Signature dishes like the escargot in garlic and herb butter sauce, Duck Leg and Foie Gras, and French Onion soup are highlights. The Beef Wellington and Pork Medallions stand out as superb options, with the Duck and Chicken dishes following closely behind. Desserts like the Lemon Tart, warm Apple Crisp, and homemade cheesecake are recommended, despite the Crème Brûlée being a bit underwhelming.
Overall, L'Escargot offers excellent food, service, and ambiance, making it the perfect choice for a "fancy" French dinner experience.
