" My husband and I visited L'Escargot for our wedding anniversary, and wow, what a fantastic experience! The food was exquisite - we shared the escargot and the French onion soup to start, followed by the beef wellington, which was heavenly! The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening - candlelit tables and intimate seating. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, which was nice. The dessert selection was a little pricey, but we opted for the lemon tart and it was phenomenal! Highly recommend for a special night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for classic French flavors, L'Escargot might just be your place! The cozy ambiance paired well with our selections from the menu. The escargot was exceptional and I really enjoyed the duck prepared in two ways. However, I felt that the crème brûlée could have been larger for the price. The service was wonderful; attentive yet relaxed. Certainly a dining spot worth a second visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'Escargot delivered a dining experience filled with French charm. From the decor to the food, everything spells sophistication. The escargot was delightful, and the seafood options were exceptional. That said, the beef wellington was a bit uneven in flavor. My plate had its highs and lows, which made the evening feel a little disjointed. Nevertheless, the service staff were excellent, maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. A worthwhile visit if you're keen on exploring French cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful evening with friends at L'Escargot! The setting felt intimate, perfect for conversations. We all enjoyed the escargot, which was rich with flavor, and my beef wellington was cooked to perfection. The service was exceptional; our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I’ve been to several French restaurants, but due to the ambiance and food quality, I’ll definitely return because it felt special. " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently tried L'Escargot and were enchanted by the atmosphere and the food. The service was prompt, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We ordered the French onion soup and the duck prepared in two ways, which melted in our mouths. We were a bit disappointed by the dessert portions - we wished the creme brûlée was larger since it was so delicious! However, we did appreciate the complimentary wine pairing suggestions from our server. Overall, a delightful experience and I’d highly recommend it for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience was just okay. The food was decent but didn't quite reach the authentic flavor I was hoping for from a French restaurant. My escargot was good, but the beef wellington was lackluster and a little overcooked. Service was friendly, but our appetizers took longer than expected, which made it feel rushed when the mains arrived. I think the price doesn't reflect the quality we received. I'd give it another shot, but definitely not my top choice for French dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic restaurant for a night out! The decor felt cozy and the whole place had a lovely energy. I particularly enjoyed the beef wellington and the escargot for starters. The portions were generous, and I appreciated the wine pairings suggested by my server. Although the service was great overall, we had to wait a little while for our mains to arrive, but the quality more than made up for it. Would recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic French cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
