I have been wanting to go to Mon Ami for SOOO long, but was always discouraged by 1) the wait, 2) recent ho hum reviews.
However, it was a Friday morning and I decided to press my luck and get in a little after it opens -- 8:30AM -- BRUNCH!! Reserved via opentable. Got there.. . It was already starting to fill up, holy moly!!
I j'adore it immediately upon entering though... felt like I walked right back into Paris again. =) The architecture, the colors, the mood... casual, romantic... intimate
If you have a party greater than 2, you need to have your full party or else you don't get seated. Outside patio seating, indoor patio seating, indoor booth seating available. We opted for the indoor patio because it was so beautiful outside with the sun shining through the glass roof but we didn't want to deal with the traffic noise, smog, etc sitting on the outside.
Menu is limited but covered all the basics. We opted for their blueberry french toast and ham, egg croissant sandwich (side salad included), an side of eggs, and a bowl of cappuccino.
Cappuccino came first... HUGE bowl brewed with Black Cat(?) Intelligentsia coffee. Delicious.....they even refilled us. :D
French toast? RICH. Topped with delicious heavy cream and blueberries.
Croissant Sandwich was also delicious through and through.
We were so happy with our meal and staff that we ended up buying one of those huge Paris balloon mugs! A true testament cuz I hate buying touristy things. =)
