So here is my first post of where i went - Little Snail.
I will be posting more in my holiday in june/july about old restaurants i have been too so people can read a review before they go,but this is my opinion obviously you may think differently.
So first i entered little snail the venue looked about dodgy in my opinion as it was not facing the view of darling harbour so just in the corner or the street view, there is 2 levels bottom and up, i had a big group of 21 people so we were situated downstairs which the atmosphere wasnt great upstairs looked so much better. We were waiting around as it was my grandmas surprise 60th birthday, the waiters were nice and asked if we wanted drinks or anything so the service was good at the beginning.
So as i went on a Saturday night they had a 3 course menu for 60$ that was pretty cheap in my opinion thinking it was a fancy restaurant.
The Entree i choose was Escargot de Bourgogne- which was dozen snail in some sort of garlic bread sauce with 2 bread
The entree was my fav dish of the night,so it was my first time eating snails and using the little snail tongs was a bit tricky at first but you get the hang of it since it was hard to take the snails out. The snails were nice and taste maybe something like a mushroom flavor or tripe, it is hard to describe the snail taste,but worth trying ! the snails were then dipped with the garlic butter sauce which was in my opinion a bit too salty but still overall good ! the bread was laying in the butter sauce and soaked up way too much of the garlic butter, so it was like when you bite into the bread all the butter squirted out of the bread so i think they should of left the bread on a separate plate just so we can dip it ourself of how much we wanted, instead of having a mouthful of butter in our mouth.
My sister was sitting next to me and i made her get other dishes so i could try, she got the Mushroom and Leek crepe

| LOL at my mother facebooking her food like a hipster too |
The next was main and i didnt wait that long for main after we finished out entree the time the food came out we were ready ! so the wait in between food was a goof 5/5 score !
The main i got was Cote de veau which was Veal
It was ordinary piece of veal with some mushroom sauce ontop differently not worth eating a little snail you can just go to a bistro and get it,i got this similar dish at a restaurant in parra called Sahars and taste 10x better and more worth it, so overall it was a nice dish but not worth going to the city for to eat.
I was surprised how said seasonal vegetables and they gave me one piece of bloody broccoli ..... not 2 just one piece.....
my sister got the Magret de canard which was crispy skin duck
i had one piece and the skin wasnt even bloody crispy wtf.... full troll or something, it was just a normal cooked piece of duck. didnt even seem like there was skin ontop...... lol. the duck was cooked well nicly done i think it was medium cooked. My sister didnt like he raspberry sauce with it but that was her opinion !
Lastly it was dessert and i was getting full already but as everyone says there is always room for dessert !
I got Khaula infused chocolate mousse.
This was probably the worst dish of the night i think the best part of the dessert was the strawberry ... lol seriously wasnt good at all the chocolate was so dense and way too chocolate it was not a light mousse which was what i was expecting ! very disappointing but if you are a 100% die hard chocolate lover i suggest you go for gold for this dessert !
My sisters dessert was the warm sticky date pudding
presentation looked good, i took one bite and it was nice and warm but that was enough for me already ! i couldnt imagine eating all of it as it was sooooo sweet, everyone around the table agreed it was too sweet but nice !
we then asked for tea and coffee and waited over 30 mins for it then to realise that they didnt even put any order through so we had to ask again !
the food kept getting mixed up and we had missing plates and we were also even given the wrong dessert at one point. so i would say the service was 7.5/10 as they kept getting things wrong ! but the waiters and waitresses were nice :)
Overall i rate this restaurant a 6/10 as im not a fan of the food i had ! but i would try again maybe for lunch as it is much cheaper during lunch and try other dishes !
just a quick happy 60th to my grandmama xx
