| - I seriously love this place. While Mon Ami Gabi is certainly not comprable to some of the bigger (and more expensive) names on The Strip, it holds its own without breaking the bank.
I dined here with my boyfriend a few months ago and we waited it out for an outdoor table (first come, first serve - regardless of reservations). It was so worth the wait. Being able to watch the Bellagio water show while dining on delicious food is quite an amazing experience.
More recently, I took my work team here for dinner. Party of 12 required a credit card to hold the table. Oh, and they will not seat you unless your entire party is present. Good luck getting that many people to show up right on time. Several people were late, so we weren't seated on time as per our reservation, and our server seemed to retaliate by making us wait for our beverages and bread. Just kidding...he wasn't doing it on purpose. He was just slow. Like REALLY SLOW and when people are hungry, ok service gets magnified to terrible service. The 20min it took to get our bread was soon forgotten once the bread actually got to the table. Fresh baguettes...yum.
As far as main entrees, order a steak. If you don't you will envy all of those around you who did. Since I ordered a steak on my last visit, I decided to go with the carmelized sea scallops. They were cooked perfectly, but overseasoned for my tastebuds. I asked for lemon wedges to cut some of the saltiness. But, I don't think that will stop me from ordering it again some time in the future in hopes that the chef won't have such a heavy hand with the salt shaker.
Two of my coworkers ordered the Fish n Chips and could not stop raving about how yummy their meals were. But, my eyes were on all of the other plates...steaks, steaks and more steaks. I stole some fries off their plates when they weren't looking. So, next time you're in Vegas and want a good meal, GET A STEAK at Mon Ami Gabi...and share your fries :)
