Absolutely wonderful restaurant for celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary! We drove from Dayton, Ohio for a 2 day celebration and this restaurant was the highlight. Our server Chris was unbelievably kind, generous and professional yet friendly. He even surprised us with a glass of champagne! The outdoor patio was quiet and comfortable. The food is amazing. And Chris happily took photos of us dressed to our fi.iezt! 5 stars recommended!

Outstandimg service. Our server, Amanda, was fantastic. She was fun, fast, and friendly. Would go back just because of her. The food here is absolutely delicious. Go for the chicken or the steak classique. And the caesar salad is very tasty, as a starter. Highly recommend!

We were seated promptly for our Mothers Day dinner and had a throughly enjoyable meal. This place operates like a well oiled machine - no unseemly waits for service or the bill, or indeed for food - and although it isnt cheap, the prices charged are reasonable in my view for reliably tasty cooking. Highly recommended.

It's a nice ambience in a nice location in Lincoln Park right on the park. The service is good. The food did not feel authentically French, and it was only ok.

Went for Mother’s Day Brunch. Got there in time to have the lunch AND brunch menus. Best of Both worlds. Got the most perfect eggs Benedict, French Onion Soup and Waffles with strawberries, hot fudge & whipped cream. Shared them with my husband(they happily split everything). Everything was Beyond Delicious. Why I am not there DAILY is beyond me. Spectacular.

Everyone was wonderful. I was an annoying customer because I have a bad back and had a little one - they were so accommodating g and we had an amazing time. The diver sole was to die for. The strawberry profiteroles were the perfect ending to a delicious dinner.

Being going to mom ami gabi since they opened Lately don’t like the way they do business first now hard to do make a reservation they ask for $50 deposit for each person they should know if you being going there all these years with out missing one . Second they charge you %3 extra for covid 19 And there only few that weren’t affected much with covid and covid is over now and the restaurant is always full with all the money they got from government . If it was a small mom and pop or small restaurant I’ll understand But any way don’t like it to me it’s greed
