“Delicious food and great atmosphere. Came for Sunday brunch and had the lobster omelette and steak frites with the caramelized onions&red wine sauce. Staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. Special thanks to our server, Nathan, who was amazing and made our first visit a pleasant one! Will be visiting again to try other things on the menu.”
“As someone with Celiac, finding a place that truly understands gluten-free safety is everything - and Mon Ami Gabi absolutely delivered. I ordered the steak frites, and not only was it delicious (perfectly cooked steak, crispy fries, and an incredible sauce), but what really stood out was how seriously they took my allergy. They have a dedicated fryer for fries, and my meal was brought out with an allergy flag, which gave me so much peace of mind. I had zero reaction, which says a lot. It’s rare to find a spot that combines this level of safety with genuinely great food and a beautiful atmosphere. If you’re gluten-free (or you just like great food) and want a classic, elevated dining experience without the stress - this is it.”
“The renovation is gorgeous - I love that the space looks fresh and updated but still has its original character. My server Greg was so kind and attentive, he saw to my every need before I even had to ask. I always get the onion soup and steak frites with house butter here-- and it was amazing, as always! (One holiday season they had a beef wellington on the specials menu that was one of the best things I've ever tasted.) But today was my first time visiting since they reopened; I had a wonderful time, their restaurant week selection (attached photos) were delicious, and I highly recommend Mon Ami Gabi for any occasion.”
“This is one my favorite lunch and brunch place to go. Love the newly renovated atmosphere, kept its classiness and uniquenss. Service was exceptional as usual. Quality and taste of the dishes are delicious as always. Great touch to have more than enough coats hanging spaces, especially on a busy weekend. Price is on the high-end side, as expected. You get what you pay for. You are paying for the high quality food+ingredients+service. Parking garages nearby, convenient. Close to shops and more. Highly recommend.”
“The escargot and baguette were consistently delicious per usual. The endive roquefort salad too. We'd made reservations in advance and enjoyed the chandeliers, updated interior. But **please** add windowshades in the enclosed side patio, it was boiling (for myself, my toddler, and the family seated nearby w/baby).”
