- SJSusanJSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day ago6 of us went last night and it was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their dinners a lot. With 6 of us - we were still able to hear each other and talk to each other - which is rare in restaurants these days. The restaurant is small and very cozy. We will be going back soon.More infoPatisserie Boissiere RestaurantPrice: Moderate• French• Carmel•4.7
- DDavidVIPNew York City •54 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur 2nd time. Great French menu, food and service. We had the goat cheese and onion tart, frog legs and the lobster risotto to start. Rabbit pasta, cassoulet and the extraordinary Dover sole for mains, then the brownie for dessert. Delicious wine (Sancerre, Pinot Noir and a Rhone) were all perfection. It is a splurge, but worth it. The only downside was parking. This was during a long Valentine's weekend and at 5 pm we still had to play "Vulture Club" and follow someone who was leaving to takeover their spot...More infoL'Escargot - CarmelPrice: Moderate• French• Carmel•4.8
