      I had the fortune of having the opportunity to eat lunch at The Little Snail last Wednesday. The food was the best I had experienced for some time. I am unable to eat seafood so the only entree available to me was the vegetarian crepe.I do not like my vegies but my crepe was so yummy that I will now try to replicate the recipe at home. Yummy!!

      The lamb was divine as was the profiterole. I usually don't visit a city restaurant more than once but will make an exception here. My lunch partner also feels the same and has already booked her return visit. Congratulations Little Snail and thank you for giving hope for future veggi meals for me.   (Vickichacha - May, 2011)

      Excellent value for money, probably the best value French Restaurant in town!

      Service was reasonable, but one of the wait person cleared our table and drinks away while we were out for a cigaratte, eventhough we were still waiting for desert and had informed one staff member.

      Food was outstanding, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, escargots were served in shells unlike many others.   (Gavra - January, 2011)

      Great staff, good ambience. Food needs to improve if they want to stay above the competition.   (July, 2010)

      It was a great experience at The Little Snail. All the staff were attentive and polite. This is no wonder why The Little Snail is one of the most popular restaurant in Sydney. I would definitely patron this place again when I am next in Sydney.   (Jeansew - June, 2010)

      My family took me to lunch here for Mothers' Day and it was fantastic in terms of food, service and value for money. We had the $35pp three course lunch and and there were a good range of dishes. The food was tasty and the servings generous (without being too big). Dessert was a real hit! We will definitely return.   (possum - See my reviews (2) - May, 2010)

      I think the only reason I haven't given 10/10 is that they may stop trying as hard if they got full marks! No complaints at all.   (Simon Morgan - April, 2010)

    • Overall 9 - Food 9, Ambience 8, Value 10, Service 9

      Had a fantastic meal here with my wife and father-in-law. We all had the $55 3 course meal and you could not fault any of the food.

      Service was great with all the staff being very helpful and friendly. They all had a great sense of humour and joined in with our jokes.

      I will definately go back to The Little Snail next time I am in Sydney.   (Ian D - March, 2010)

      It's my second time back, and we all had a great time! Thank you - Keep up the good work!   (Celiaaaa - See my reviews (2) - March, 2010)

      Dined here with my partner for Valentines Day in 2010. Previous reviews on service was accurate. Although our entree and main were well spaced apart, our dessert and coffee didn't come out until an 1 -1.5 hours later. We had to ask them several times before it came out.

      For entree: I had the snails and they were VERY tasty. My partner had the salmon which was a bit over powering but overall alright.

      For main: my partner had the lamb rack and I had the duck. Both were very similar meals despite them being from different animals...

      For dessert: my partner and I had the crepes and the sticky date pudding - both were fabulous and are highly recommended!

      Atmosphere was great! Loved the music and it was quite nice being inside on such a rainy day.

      I definitely recommend a visit if you want a nice dining experience that isn't overpriced.   (Foodie - See my reviews (4) - March, 2010)

      I have been a big fan of this restaurant for many years. The value is exceptional, the food quality always good and the service has improved markedly( as a result of new management). This has to be the best value deal in the city.

      A must for any one visiting the Darling Harbour area, and especially for anyone going to a show at the Casino.(the staff can cater for pre theatre bookings).

      I am a veteran of (too) many restaurant outings in Sydney and I can honestly say that this is the best in terms of value, quality and service! Stephen H   (stephenh - February, 2010)

      Our experience at The Little Snail started with a very friendly greeting at the door and really the hospitality never changed. We were very impressed with the service, ambience and the very friendly man setting up to play classical guitar. Our food was absolutely beautiful. There were 5 people in our party and no-one could fault any of the meals, from entree to dessert. We would definitely go their again. Thank you to the staff at THE LITTLE SNAIL   (January, 2010)

      When we visited this restaurant, my booking was not informed. However, response of restaurant was very good. We enjoyed great NYE dinner.   (January, 2010)

    • Overall 9.5 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 8

      My only complain will be that when we arrived they did not greet us and ask to seat us and instead we were told that as it's getting crowded we should move and without clarifying we were immediately herded upstairs to join another large booking instead to our own table and one of us who arrived late had to wander all over the restaurants including up the stairs) to try and find us.

      My booking was for 15 people. The food was excellent, the value for money is incredible, we got everything we ask for and most everything exceeded our expectations.   (See my reviews (4) - October, 2009)

      We had our daughter's 21st birthday dinner on a packed Saturday night. The service was truly excellent, as was the food. The staff did all they could to make the night a special one for our daughter, and the menu choices catered for all persuasions. Thanks, Yolanda and staff!   (SueR - July, 2009)
