    Sat outside at table 91 if you know you know. Great first date all around. Duck confit, steak frit, Caesar salad and cocktails were on point and delicious. The only detail missed was replacing my silverware “Mise en place” after my salad and had to ask after receiving my steak frit.

    This was our first time at Mon Ami Gabi and I highly recommend it. My daughter and I came for brunch and were seated outside. The setting was beautiful! The service was exceptional and the FOOD! Oh my! We had the pate and brie to start which were both wonderful. My daughter had the Omlette Lorraine and I had the Egg White Omlette - both were outstanding. Overall, we loved our visit so much so, that my daughter who is turning 21 in December has asked that we come back for her birthday dinner! We will definitely be returning!

    Beautiful room, good food though dependent on heavy use of butter (trout) rather than spices and herbs. Adequate but not generous portions. Cramped table for 2. Boisterous crowd. Not amenable to conversation. Efficient service, sometimes a bit hurrying.

    We had a very unpleasant experience with our waitress, which was especially unfortunate as we were bringing our family out to dinner to show them one of our favorite restaurants. Our waitress was repeatedly rude and made the dinner very uncomfortable - commenting that we were not ordering enough.

    My experience was marred by the fact that I had to put down a credit card and face a $50 penalty per person if I had to cancel. Since I am a loyal LEY member and use Open Table on a regular basis, I have so many other options that I can choose from. I’m unlikely to book at Mon Ami again any time soon. Life is so unpredictable. I appreciate those dining establishments and restaurant groups that value me.

    Cannot come here without ordering the escargot--it's amazing with the made-in-house bread! The duck leg confit is also so delicious, as is their steak frites. Slowly becoming a regular here thanks to my partner and the quality of food, alongside the service, has always been consistently great in all my times coming here. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. This restaurant manages to pair sophistication with a warmth friendliness that creates a comfortable experience for fancy or more casual dining.

    I haven't been back since before the pandemic, so you never know how a restaurant can change. But everything about the experience was lovely. The food was perfectly timed out so that everything didn't come at once. The quality and flavors were exactly what I'd expect. And the service was incredible.

    Sunday brunch was overall a very pleasant experience. The usual charming environment and attentive service. Food was mostly very good although the Croque Monsieur was swimming in Mornay sauce which made the whole sandwich very soggy and unappealing. We commented on it but were advised that it was the traditional way to serve it - hmm... Otherwise the Moules with frites were super fresh and a generous portion. Eggs Benedict were excellent with very high quality ham, thickly sliced and perfectly cooked eggs. Overall the menu leans more towards lunch vs breakfast so keep that in mind. Next time we would order the Croque with sauce on the side...

    My friend declared her steak delicious and perfect. I had ordered the skate wing which had a very tasty sauce including tomatoes. However, all of the artichoke leaves were dry and tough and impossible to eat. The chocolate mousse was outstanding and a very generous serving. When ordering, we told the waiter that we would pay cash and, for this reason, would not pay the 3% extra charge. The waiter thanked us for letting him know in advance, however, when the check came, he had included the 3% and had to prepare another check. Other than that, the waiter was gracious.
