    Food was great. Our server- Alex - was probably the best server I’ve ever encountered all the years I have dined at Mon Ami gabi! French dip is excellent Only disappointed that with the new build out you didn’t put in an automatic door for handicap access.

    Great concept to mashup French and southern! The place was empty for lunch but that gave us a table at the window. Lovely space. Food selection was good. Salad for the Benedict was tasty but heavy on the dressing. The eggs Benedict was good but bacon was tough, not crispy. The price for food was reasonable. The service was pleasant enough. Ambiance was very fun and nice, kinda place you can have a quiet meal with a friend

    Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
