L'Escargot is a dining out experience that makes you realise how life can be elegant and food tradition central to profound flavors.

Nice food, great quality. The only issue I could find was that it was too loud to talk at the table which was bigger (more roomy) that the usual table size in central London. But this together with the noise made conversation impossible. Otherwise all was good. The service was good and staff was att...

He became famous for his snails and was the first restaurant in England to serve the great delicacy. When in 1927 he moved to larger premises at 48 Greek Street, his c...

It's lost it's service and quality. Avoid! We went one lunchtime. I use to go here a lot 10 years ago when it was a great restaurant but now it's terrible. Service was slow and poor. Quality of food was terrible. Very overpriced. Far better restaurants to go to in the area. Sadly once a great restau...

To sum it up in a sentence, the food is of very good quality, however the portion sizes are on the small side, and the service was very poor.
With regards service, there seemed to be two people attending my table, which made things a little confusing [being asked the same questions twice]. In addit...

We went here for my brother's birthday and it was an inspired choice. The restaurant is full of artwork from Chagall, Picasso and many more, it definitely adds to the charisma of the place. It was the day of the tube strike, so we had the whole restaurant to ourselves, but gladly it did not lack a...

Wonderful experience. The waiter - Paolo - was knowledgeable and attentive without being over-bearing, while the food (we had smoked salmon and the Chateaubriand on a Time out voucher) was stunning, as was the decor. We will definitely be back.

I was at l Escargot last night and what a huge disappointment especially after reading all these nice comments. Although the venue is quite atmospheric (thanks for the Pianist), we arrived on time, our table wasn t ready and above once ready was not clean. The service was Okayish. The food wasn t r...

I wanted to book a table for 15 people (corporate event) as I heard great things about their food. I rang up twice. First time I rang up they said they would get back in touch. Rang up two days later and they said the same thing.

Gave up and went somewhere else. Pretty shocking service.

Largely disregarded by staff. Ordered wine that never came. Very inattentive and slow to clear table. We ordered the "pre-theater" menu to get to a show and ended up leaving without one of the courses to make it to the theater on time.

Everything was going well till we ordered our main, and after having waited an hour the waiter comes back to us saying, " I don't know what happened b...

What a lovely experience. L'Escargot really hits the 'French-experience' perfectly, in an old-school London style restaurant. The shared steak was excellent and one of the best Ive ever had in my life. Great fun and easy to recommend for a romantic or special occasion!

Stumbled across L'escargot after dinner in Soho. It is a small, elegant, romantic place and on Fridays from 8pm there is a pianist, Carl, playing until late. He is exceptional, playing a huge range of music. We will be booking to go back soon for dinner as the menu was very reasonably priced and loo...

For the atmosphere, this restaurant has a lovely french vibe. As for the food, the salads and side dishes were fine. However, the lobster pasta was so weird! There was almost no lobster and it had few chunks of prawns that seemed as if they were just taken out of the fridge and the sauce was also ba...

We went to L'Escargot with a large group of friends back in December. Very quirky old building with lots of interesting art dotted around..We were led up to a private room at the top of the restaurant and seated on a large round table which was perfect as we all could socialise for the evening.
