    Our 3rd visit was yet another fabulous experience- this is our favorite Chicago dining spot. It is French influenced in decor & menu. Service is first class, it has interesting wines, and cocktails. It requires reservations to assure a table; the only negative is how loud it can get ( a sign of success).

    Eric was AWESOME! I am surprised to say we didn’t love the escargot ….it had a green sauce or garnish that didn’t pair well with it :/ but we got the deviled eggs by mistake and they were actually so good!!! Everything else was fantastic: steak tartare, and both of our steaks and wines! Highly recommend the steak frites au poivre !!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience Mon Ami Gabi this weekend. It was our first time there, although we had been to the Mon Ami Gabi facility in Oak Park when it was open. We had both the chicken liver pate and the foie gras torchon. Although both were very good, we liked the torchon the best based on the toast served with it. We ended up using the baguette previously served instead of the toasts which came with the pate. I found the onion soup good, but not spectacular. My wife enjoyed the muscles (small pot). The muscles were large and tender. Ambiance and staff were great. We were disappointed that the scallop gratin which used to be on the menu was no longer offered. However, based on the attitude of staff, I suspect that if we called ahead and asked them to make it, they would. We will be back.

    Ambiance, quality of menu items is great, service is friendly and warm. We came at a time when we expected it to get quite busy and it did! Our wait person got quite busy so we waited a bit too long for dessert and check. In clearing up the table a full glass of water got spilled across the table which was an unfortunate accident but one of our party did get wet. It was handled as best it could be. We will be back for sure!

    Seating was a bit award, I’m slim and could barely get up from the table without being on top of the table next to us. First time we’ve had this table. Honestly spreading out a bit more would have been nice. The lady next to us acted as if we were all sitting together. She was very sweet and in her 90’s, kept trying to involve us in her conversation. Light hearted and fun but not what we expected this past Sunday.

    Dear Valued Guest, I'm sorry to hear of your recent less than acceptable experience with us, especially in regards to the ambiance where you were seated. We always try to exceed our guests' expectations but unfortunately, sometimes fall short. Would you be willing to provide your contact information so I can have one of our managers get in touch? We truly appreciate your feedback; thank you. Brian Quaid, manager

    We had a wonderful time having dinner at Mon Ami Gabi last Saturday night. Because all tables are taken, we could only reserve a table for 4 at 4 pm on Saturday. Their valet parking is super convenient. When we first sat down, the restaurant was less busy than later. I liked the soft music playing in the background. Their warmed baguette and Foie Gras Torchon are terrific! My husband loved their Cote de Boeuf, 22 oz bone-in ribeye. We'll definitely come back another time.

    What a magical evening. Zoo Lights held an event for members (which is located across the street from the restaurant). We parked our car at the valet, had a drink at the bar, walked over to the zoo lights and then came back for dinner. We always get the Escargot (which did not disappoint) for an appetizer with an option of gluten free bread (for me). I had the mussels and my husband ordered the Wellington, both were delicious. The entire evening and service was outstanding!
