| - Went to Vegas with my parents as a final mini vacay before school starts. This time we went to Mon Ami Gabi for dinner to try the prominent Filet Mignon w/ merlot butter!
We made a Tuesday, 7:30pm reservation, which I'm really glad we did because it was pretty crowded around that time. We were lucky enough to get a table inside, but by the opening where we could still watch Bellagio's water show.
They give you a complimentary baguette with some type of seasoned radish/veggie thing on a separate plate. Interesting, but it wasn't anything that great IMO. The baguette was warm and fresh and the butter we slabbed on it made it a great starter to our dinner.
Here's what we ordered that night:
1. BUTTER LETTUCE & APPLE SALAD
- Didn't try it, but my mom seemed to really like it.
2. ONION SOUP AU GRATIN
- So good, definitely one of the better french onion soups I've had. It wasn't too salty (which is a common issue most I've had) and the Gruyere cheese melted on top was divine.
3. FRANGRIA
- AKA 'French Sangria'. It was really good! I would get again and a glass of it is only $5.
4. STEAK BEARNAISE
- Tender, flavorful, good flavoring.
5. FILET MIGNON W/ MERLOT BUTTER
- Honestly the best filet mignon I've ever had. It's so tender that it melts in your mouth and that merlot butter sauce they put on it is godly. The frites were tasty and even better when they were sopping up the remaining merlot butter. MMMM!
6. HANGER STEAK W/ MERLOT BUTTER
- Tender and pretty similar tasting to the filet mignon (obv. because of the merlot butter). Honestly, I wouldn't mind just ordering this one since it tastes pretty much the same AND it's $20 (cheaper than the filet mignon).
Their prices aren't that bad when you look at the ambiance and quality of the food and service. Very impressive once again!
Tips/FYI's:
- Make a reservation just to be safe!
- Their patio seating has a beautiful view of the Bellagio water show, but you can't reserve a table there bc it's a first come, first serve basis :(
- Since we went on a weekday, we noticed it wasn't very crowded around 8pm, so it might be easier to walk-in around that time?
