Middle: Our Famous Polenta Chips (Crispy Fried with Rosemary and Parmesan - Jamie's Website), Back: Prawn Linguine (Juicy pan-fried garlicky Spencer Gulf prawns served with tomatoes, chilli, rocket & fennel - Jamie's Website),

Pricing: $$ - $ (Drinks are $-$$)

THE NOMNOMGRAM!

  • The Quality of the food ... Let's just say it's not my favourite place to eat. I don't know if its because I went there for lunch but I had a good expectation for this place because its really popular and because of the prices as well, I was expecting to be somewhat decent. I have hear feedbacks before I went and there were people who really really loved it and then there were people saying that it wasn't that great... So I don't know if it's the lack of consistency or what... I ordered mainly the popular "signature" dishes because that's always safe! And it was honestly disappointing... It wasn't flat out busy when I went but.. might have to drag myself back there to try the food again just in case the chef was having a crappy day and the food wasn't up to standards that day!
  • The Customer Service here is pretty good... our waitress was giving us attitude from time to time but it's alright.. The people working there are generally really nice, so it was all goood!
  • The Pricing here is quite pricey... You're looking at an average of $26 or so per main dish? For the pasta's, you have the option of getting entrée sized or main sized dishes so the prices will vary. When I went with my bestie, we got 2 mains, 2 sides, 2 soft drinks and 1 order of bread and it costed us about $80? $80 for lunch is quite expensive haha.
  • The Quantity of the servings here are quite decent. Considering the price that you pay for the food, it's pretty goood. You definitely will feel full and stuffed afterwards which is the main point of eating right?!
**Side notes:
As I have mentioned before, the feedback 
here is really inconsistent and people either 
loved it or hated it so... if you do go, don't 
have an expectation for it and see how it 
you like it! The interior design is really well 
designed and has a rustic type of feel and 
they have lots of seating with an upstairs and 
downstairs seating arrangements. It also has a 
very romantic, dim lights type of setting 
which is really nice and calming. They don't 
always have seating available so when we got 
there we had to wait for about 20 minutes for 
a table? 


That's all from me for now =) 

Hope you have a GREAT day and don't forget to smile! =D

Quality: 4 nomnoms out of 5!
Service: 4 nomnoms out of 5!
Pricing: $$ 

The Nomnomgram!

  • The Quality of the food here is just absolutely divineeee! If you haven't yet already noticed, the Little Snail Restaurant is a French restaurant =) I've never had French cuisines before but this was a pretty good first time experience! Escargots are one of the signature french delicacies for appetizers and it was really yummy! We also ordered their Loin of Lamb dish and it was cooked till perfection. Everything is really fresh including their French baguettes (the Bruschetta is to dieee for!) and their desserts (yumm... profiteroles)!    
  

  • The Service here is really good! You can always find a waitress or waiter whenever you're in need of assistance and they don't hassle you to eat faster or ignore you when you need them the most haha. They are also really good with timing with the food being served as shortly after your meal is done, your next course is up and running and ready to go! The atmosphere here is very nice, not too noisy and so you can have a nice peaceful dinner or lunch.
  • The Pricing here is pretty decent... they have a 3 Course set dinner menu for $60 per person which will include an entrée, main meal and also a dessert. The options are pretty good as they have a range of different dishes from red meats to seafood and etc. They have a selection of really good desserts and you're actually full after the meal haha
  • The Quantity of the meals here are quite decent. Before I went to the restaurant, I thought it would be a fine dining type of experience but surprisingly the proportions are pretty good in relation to quality.    

** Side Notes:
The Little Snail is located at a prime location 
just off Darling Harbour near Star City Casino. 
It's got a very romantic type of setting with
 dim lights and it's very spacious and comfortable. 
Would definitely recommend to wear something 
semi-formal when going here, people get quite 
dressy but it's pretty chill. 

Meanwhile, have a GREAT day! And Don't forget to smileeeee!
