This was an anniversary dinner. The service was extremely slow. The food was not good at all, steak was cooked correctly but tasted weird and had a funny smell, broccolini was seasoned good but was over cooked. My wife had a salad and it was nothing special.

The experience was very, very good and we have added this restaurant to our "go-to" list. The server was very nice and courteous, but please help the team to better describe the menu and especially the cuts of meat to the guest and how to open a wine bottle and pour properly.

Service was extremely slow, and food quality seems to have dropped considerably over the pandemic. What used to be a perfect steak classique is now a very tough, chewy, over salted and over cooked piece of beef. I ate three bites and was done with it. And prices of course are higher, but for much lower quality and apathetic service. I had many a good meals here in the past, but sadly, those days are long gone. I do not plan to return anytime in the foreseeable future.

Our third time here. Luv the ambience and the food and drink. We had the quiche with salad. Long time quiche eaters - all over the States, in France and our own homemade. This was, to our taste, the best quiche ever!

We booked a table of 12 for a team dinner hoping for a special night out. Unfortunately the restaurant was understaffed, the service was abysmally slow and our server was extremely inattentive. The food at Mon Ami Gabi remains very good and I genuinely enjoyed my meal. However, the poor service, noise levels where it was hard to hear others talk and a stuffy room that was significantly warmer than the front of the restaurant greatly detracted from our experience.

Mon Ami Gabi is good example of a pretty good chain that has suffered post-pandemic and is doing the best it can. Service was friendly but clearly understaffed (no fault of the server). Bread and the delicious carrot salad is no longer free and all prices are significantly higher. The steak and frites is still yummy and worth purchasing but I would skip dessert. It's overpriced and mine was clearly frozen and improperly reheated. It was practically inedible and I should have sent it back. A simple meal for four people, three drinks, three desserts, was over $250.00 which seems kind of high for the harried service, poor service, and uneven food quality.

Our server was nice enough but service was extremely slow and inattentive. It was a special occasion, too, so really less than ideal. We waited about half an hour before getting our first glasses of wine, and it went on that way through the whole meal. Food was mediocre, and one person’s dish had inadequately washed greens full of grit. Disappointing.

The food was good as expected. Our server on the other hand was very not very attentive, did not clear emptied plates and missed items from our order. We were asked us if we wanted more toast points for our pâté which we said yes. After staring at half eaten pâté for 15 mins I asked if the toast point were coming in which he left the table to and came back 5 mins later with them in a bowl. I had to ask multiple times to have empty app plates and bread plates removed from our table so that we could have space to eat our dinner. We had to stack our empty plates at the end of that table. Our side order of Sautéd mushrooms were not delivered with our entrées. I had to ask for them after our food was delivered then they showed up 10 mins later.

We celebrated my daughter's high school graduation and enjoyed our appetizers, entrees and deserts for our family of eight. Service was great, food was excellent and the ambiance was fantastic. We enjoyed the steaks and beef dishes, but the fish dish had lots of bones. Will likely be returning for our next family event.

Not sure why, but we were placed in a back room. The food was not up to standards. The bread which used to be complimentary was now a menu item and came over baked and crunchy. Not warm and chewy like past bread. Steak was good but our frites were swimming in the steak juices and soggy. Not sure if this is a result from COVid but definitely not up to past standards.

Had a very enjoyable dinner with family. A bit noisy for me, but I wear hearing aids. Service was prompt & efficient. Food was very good and worth a return trip. Especially liked the starters, escargot, steak tartare and duck confit. Most of us had steaks, all nicely done & cooked to desired temp. All came with potatoes that were quite good. Hesitate to call them fries as they were a step up. Sides of broccolini, haricots verts and sauteed mushrooms were all excellent. Only had a couple desserts but creme brulee and profiterole both get two thumbs up. Not fine dining but almost and certainly a step up from fast casual.

I'll start out by saying the service was wonderful. Location of the restaurant is also great. Those that ordered fish at the table enjoyed their dish. However, there were details that were neglected. Someone at my table ordered a medium-well steak but it was overdone. In addition, the table's linen was stained on the side. The silverware smelled slightly eggy and needed to be rewashed. The decor of the restaurant, while giving a cozy feel, is slightly outdated. Overall, the experience was fine, but not up to par with what you'd expect with a bustling RTC restaurant. The restaurant would benefit from a bit of a make-over and some extra attention to detail.
