   Had the prix fixed lunch menu. Cream of wild mushroom soup was delicious. Steak cooked perfectly. Service was outstanding. They didn't rush us. They were attentive without being annoying.

   Very very loud. Steak overcooked although asked for rare. Fries clearly refried several times. Needs more improvement

   My wife and I had the steak frites. All was fine except the steaks. Ordered medium, both were delivered well done on the verge of edibility. We were with friends who were due at a theater so we could not replace the offering. No need to return for a $35 disappointment. Not what I expect from Lettuce Entertain You.

   Even though it was crowded, our server was very attentive. Its too loud in the restaurant, you should try and do something to soundproof

   It's been a bit since we've eaten inside the restaurant, but Mon Ami Gabi was one of our favorite places. Maybe it was because it was Sunday night, but this time the food seemed less on point (soggy fries, for example) and the server was lovely but there were long lags between courses and it took a while to get our bill. Sat down at 6:45 pm and walked out the door at 9:15 pm. Maybe just an off night, but for a $300 dinner bill for 4 people I expected more.

   Always my go to place. Love. Love this place. Unfortunately, this time our table was ignored a bit. Just two of us and a party of 6 was on their dessert when we were still waiting for our main meal even though we started same time. A bit disappointing bcz of the wait but I’ll go back again.

    Our waitress Grecia was terrific. Food, not so much. Ordered the prix fixe steak frites luncheon, asking for the meat to be medium rare. It came well well done. Although Grecia offered to bring a new platter, I declined in the interest of time.

    We’ve always loved Mon Ami Gabi so it is is very disappointing to have to give some less than stellar feedback. First the good parts…the food was great (as always) and the service was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately (and unusually) there was a but of a cleanliness issue. I’m providing specifics to the restaurant directly. All in all, I’ll go back and give them a couple more chances based on 20 years of good experiences and memories.

    Food and service was very good. The people at the table next to us were very loud which made the dinner less pleasant. Would definitely recommend the restaurant it was just unfortunate that we were seated next to rude people.

    The food at Mon Ami Gabi is quite good; ambience is lovely - feels like a true Parisian brasserie; service, at least on my most recent visit, was a bit harried and distracted, and at times quite inattentive (this may be a function of understaffing). Whatever the case, it was still a pleasurable and pleasant experience.

    We had the filet mignon steaks. The steaks were also tiny (this was not the three mini tenderloins special)Both our orders were over cooked. Requests for more drinks, tomato sauce etc where generally Un met.

    Ask for quiet table; put next to a group of 16 or so people all talking at a high volume. It was, thus, very hard for us to hear each other. We asked to be receded but we’re told that the restaurant was full and no other table would be any better… Hard to believe. The food was mediocre at best. The hanger steak was the thinnest piece of meat outside of flank steak that I have ever seen. While the flavor was OK, the quality seemed to be relatively poor.

    Nice semi-formal restaurant. Steak and frites were tasty, and not too filling. The salmon was made to perfection; and, the greens that went along with them made a delicious pairing. The lighting is a soft yellow, which makes the restaurant cozy; and, mellow music played softly in the background. Overall, it was a great experience!

    4 friends gathered for a birthday. The food & drinks were delicious - 2 of the guests had lived in France and gave this restaurant a thumbs up! - and the service was wonderful, friendly, and efficient, with perfect blend of being present but not hovering. Only complaint is it is extremely loud in the restaurant with all its hard surfaces; my ears were ringing when I left. But top-notch French bistro experience.

    The restaurant does not honor the customer request for table location, even when available at the time of arrival. When asked about it, they lie in your face.

    This is a lovely French bistro. The menu felt a little limited to me- lots of beef and less fish and chicken options but easy to find something for our entire party. I appreciated being seated before we had all arrived and the hostess was kind enough to let us pick a quiet table in the back room. Great ambience. Easy to linger. Will return!

    We enjoyed an excellent dinner at Mon Ami Gabi, and would recommend the restaurant to others. They have a limited, but good size menu, and the items on the menu seem to be specialty of the restaurant.

    Served the meal before received our order wine and within 15 minutes of ordering the wine and meal. Ordered salmon and it was terrible - dry, overcooked. Bread and desert were good.

    I went there for New Year’s dinner. The place was packed. The food was good, but the service was quite slow. They advertised a champagne toast for the celebration but it wasn’t offer. At the end, nothing out of the ordinary for New Year’s celebration.
