| - Mon Ami Gabi, what a popular place for Las Vegas visitors. I was informed about the place on recommendation from my sister. Many people pass by the place and see the outdoor patio and think to visit the location. They have also many other locations throughout America which might also give them some word of mouth. Reservations were made on Open Table with request to be seated indoors as close to the windows as possible to view the Bellagio fountains. Reservations were for 7, arrived at 640 and was immediately seated at the table requested. I'm gonna take more advantage of Open Table from now on specifically because of this!
The place has a dark romantic atmosphere, a little loud but still nice. The rustic french feel added to the ambiance. For food, I had the mussels marinere while K had the steak au poivre. I regret not going for a steak. Mon Ami Gabi is well known for their steaks and it seemed like many people in the restaurant either had some kind of steak of the mussels. The mussels themselves were very big, hearty mussels but the flavor of the broth wasn't as infused as I'd like. On top of that, the frites that Mon Ami serves were basically deep fried potato chips. They were insanely thin and had not meat to them to give that starchy flavor to balance whatever you are eating. K had the steak which was tender and yummy with the sauce that was poured on top, for $25, this was a pretty good deal for right on the strip
For desert, bananas foster crepe with vanilla ice and creme fraiche. Great desert, with the perfect mix of the banana foster mixed with a crepe.
-1 star for the service: our waiter was a little creepy, awkward and talked to us strangely, his timing was really off
Overall, an immensely popular restaurant that I wouldn't attempt to revisit without a reservation, a good spot for a reasonably priced steak on the strip with a great view of the Bellagio fountains.
