| - My boyfriend and I visited Mon Ami Gabi for brunch one morning after hearing rave reviews from family and Yelpers alike.
I am hopeful that our experience was less than stellar because we visited for brunch, and should have instead come for lunch or dinner. We missed the full breakfast menu, but were told via phone that lunch was served until 3pm. We were visiting on a Sunday, so I assumed that a full Sunday brunch would be in order.
There was very little wait at 11 am, however when we sat down we were presented with a minimal brunch menu of about 5-6 different items and no breakfast style cocktails (I probably could have asked for a Bloody Mary or Mimosa if I wanted, but neither was featured on the menu.) I ordered the Eggs Benedict and my boyfriend had the Corned Beef and Hash. The food was fine; nothing spectacular about either dish. It was definitely an expensive brunch which I would not recommend to anyone. I am curious to try dinner, however, after suck a lackluster performance at brunch I am hesitant.
Our wait staff was about average; nothing wrong, but nothing great, however the table next to us had a very negative experience and voiced this quite loudly, asking to see the manager and retelling how the waiter had "failed" at their service while he stood off to the side, which was really awkward. We definitely had a neutral experience, and I wish that this restaurant which I had heard so much about had actually delivered.
