| - "I can't believe I drank that much...if I see another Captain 'n Coke I'm going to puke." "I'm never drinking again." Sound familiar? Well, that's what we were telling ourselves when we were looking around for a place to grab brunch. I remember coming across Mon Ami Gabi when I looked at Yelp reviews, so my coworker and I decided to check out the menu and look inside.
As we walked into the main part of the restaurant, we were blown away by a HUGE bloody mary bar. Both of us looked at each other with our mouths hanging open. I'm not sure if it was because I was still drunk...but the bloody mary bar had a glowing aura around it. It was a sign. We were meant to drink more here. I'm still convinced that bloody marys are a panacea for hangovers. Trust me, try it out next time.
Anyway, after we finished staring at the bloody mary bar for 5 minutes, we walked to the back of the restaurant and we fell in love. There was a beautiful outdoor seating area and the rest of the restaurant had sunlight streaming in.
The food was great. My coworker and I ordered two soups. I've attached pictures for your reference. ;) I got a porcini mushroom soup and it was DELICIOUS. One of the best soups I've ever had. For lunch, my coworker ordered the salad with grilled salmon and I had the croque madame. The grilled salmon salad was very tasty. My croque madame was very good, but I found the bread to be a bit too buttery and crunchy to my liking. Can you believe it? I actually said something was TOO buttery. Butter and bacon...can't live without it.
I will definitely be back for the good food, impeccable service, beautiful atmosphere, and of course, bloody mary heaven. ;)
