| - I received a Lettuce Entertain You gift card and had been planning to use it here and I was surprised by how many people tried to talk me out of it and into dining at Mon Ami Gabi. I stuck to my plan because a souffle from the Eiffel Tower Restaurant was on my bucket list and I had been waiting a LONG time to try this food!
We had a 7:30 reservation and arrived a little early. They seated us at 7:30 and as we walked across the restaurant I was a little worried that we were going to the back, but no, we were seated in a great window table for two with a view of the Bellagio Fountains. The view was awesome. Good thing because we were there for some time! This is somewhere you come for a long luxurious meal, if you are in a hurry, you might consider McDonalds.
Our server and busser were friendly and professional, with the busser a little more attentive than the server. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped me make my decisions. I was torn between the baked herb crepes, the moroccan chicken and the arctic char and our server suggested the arctic char very highly. I'm not a huge fan of cooked fish, but I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and I'm glad I did! My arctic char was cooked rare, which I liked and was served ona bed of roasted beets and some pistachio crumbs. The only thing that would have made it more delicious would have been if the pistachios were a little heavier. I barely tasted them.
My husband had the roasted chicken with Moroccan spices and apricots with quinoa pilaf and I tasted that, too and it was DELICIOUS. I would totally order that - the flavors are fresh and bursting with tangy-ness.
We were happy with the drink selections as they serve Stone beers and they had my favorite champagne, Nicolas Feuillatte Brut.
You can select what type of bread you want from a tray with a small selection of different types of breads carried by the busser. I had a baguette and then another piece of softer white bread, and he brought big pats of butter.
For dessert, I finally got to have my Chef Joho souffle, but I wasn't prepared for so many choices! I was tempted to go with pistachio, but I ended up selecting Grand Marnier for my souffle flavor and it was delicious. The souffle itself was soft and pillowy and the sauce made it sweet and custardy on the inside. It was heaven and even though I've checked this off my to do list, I have to go back for more. It's that good.
I am now accepting gift cards if you would like to help a poor girl return to a fancy restaurant. We actually did pretty good and our meal was only $130 + tip. I could see how you could spend much, much more, but we left satisfied and happy.
