This is my favorite sit-down restaurant in Vegas and it's French!
I've eaten here every single Vegas trip minus one. And during that one I definitely tried to eat there with my friends but unfortunately we didn't plan ahead for this one. It is hard to get in here without reservation, so plan ahead! You'll be fine with at least 2 week advance reservations.
I LOVE the location because I always request to sit on the patio so I can watch Bellagio's water shows. They usually have a light mist on the patio to keep you cool during the hot summer. The inside of the restaurant looks nice as well, though it does get sort of loud.
On to the food: I never miss out on their filet mignon with merlot butter. I can safely say it is the best filet mignon I've had yet because of its merlot butter. I haven't found this sauce anywhere else so I praise its uniqueness. The filet mignon just melts in your mouth. Add a glass of merlot or cabernet and you have a blissful dinner listening to opera music from across the street.
Their spread for their bread is just delicious! It changes up but it's always unique and refreshing. I remember distinctly a sweet carrot sort of spread. yum.
I miss the merlot butter filet mignon so much that I've tried recreating it at home. I found a good recipe on Food Network and successfully attempted it. However it will never replace my whole great experience at Mon Ami.
