Probably the best meal I had in Vegas in terms of price point and flavor! I actually didn't have our last full day in Vegas planned out meal wise. While sitting on the balcony at our hotel looking at the strip, I spotted Mon Ami Gabi. I'd been here once about 8 years ago for dinner and enjoyed the food. I thought a nice lunch outside would be a great way to revisit.
*Sauvignon blanc: saint bris, 11 ($11)
Perfect for a nice sunny day. Crisp and light.
*Jumbo crabcake: pickled celery, citron butter ($17.95)
This was huge! Had chunks of crab and a light beurre blanc sauce.
*Onion soup au gratin: the french classic baked with gruyere cheese ($10.95)
Yum! A huge portion. The soup was full of flavor and the cheese was nice and melty. The best onion soup I've had in a while.
*Frisee, kale & warm bacon salad: soft-poached egg ($11.95)
Compared to the frisee salad we had for dinner a couple nights before, this was amazing. Exactly what I wanted from a frisee salad. The vinaigrette cut into the richness of the bacon and egg. Perfectly balanced.
*Mussels mariniere: white wine & herbs ($11.95 half order)
The sauce was so good! I even ate some bread just so I could soak up the sauce. A nice portion for a half order and the mussels were plump and tender.
Sitting outside is a nice way to enjoy the sun and people watch. But beware that it can get intensely hot in the direct sunlight. They don't have umbrellas outside so you can walk away with a little more color than you bargained for.
This was a nice light lunch to bring us into our last day in Vegas. And who doesn't love a taste of Paris?!
