I may try it out myself this time, but I did think that the selections did seem kind of limited and the portions small, although normally three courses for lunch would be a decent amount of food, for lunch anyway. Now, that is very disappointing that you did not think the food was very tasty.

As mentioned, Just my opinion but I am a bit of a foodie. Everyone should always try a place once to see. Could also have been a bad day, who knows? Let us know your thoughts when there. My guess would be it was a bad day. As a retired chef I consider myself a foodie too and I stick with it was the best. As to portion size, no smaller than most French restaurants. We have rsvp for Frenchie Ludo next Saturday and I will let you know about portion size.

OK, the DH rankings mean NOTHING. Those are rankings by DH readers, and the votes could be by friends and family members, etc. Often the DH rankings leave one totally scratching their head.

OK, I wasn't sure if you were familiar with how those rankings come about. I've never been to L'Escargot myself.

We went once probably thirty years ago. I thought it very good and very expensive at the time but as I’ve said so many times, we’re not foodies in the true sense of the term and it was at least thirty years ago. Things change....... When we were younger we used to go into P’berg a lot for dinner a lot but in the last 10 to 15 years not so much, and when we do we usually have Antoine’s on our radar along with their lobster Thermidor and their dessert souffles. We’ve only been back to Antoine’s once for dinner since they changed hands and it has never occurred to us to try Escargot again. Would love to hear recent reviews myself.......
Respectfully,
