    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.

    You can’t beat the food, ambiance and service. Classy but not pretentious. We go every year to enjoy excellent French cuisine. This year was as good if not better than ever. Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course is top notch.

    The service was terrible. How many times could a server reach across me to serve my husband, 3 times. Orders didn’t come out. Constant pressure to order when we hadn’t sat for even 5-10min it’s with little kids.

    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 fiance and I wanted a nice dinner out close to our home. Mon Ami Gabi was the perfect spot. We enjoyed the frisee & lardon salad, oysters and steak dinners - everything was delicious! Our server, Michelle, was kind and engaging. She made us feel at home, which was refreshing. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

    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.
