"Steak frites, s'il vous pla\u00EEt !\n\nMon Ami Gabi is an awesome little restaurant located in the Paris Hotel and Casino that serves up delectable French dishes and plentiful plates of steak and fries that won't break your wallet.\n\nOur group decided to come here on a weeknight for dinner and were met with two options; there was little to no wait to be seated on the inside of the restaurant, but if we decided to sit on the outside terrace with a view of the Bellagio fountains, we would need to wait 40 minutes or more. We decided to stick it out and wait for a seat outside. Time goes by quick when the gaming tables are just a few steps away!\n\nWe split the Frisee, Kale and Warm Bacon Salad as an appetizer. This was delicious! Even for salad haters, you can't go wrong with bacon and a soft egg. The runny yolk over everything added a nice richness to the crisp greens, and the savory bacon added a nice crunch. \n\nFor my main, I went with the Filet Mignon Au Poivre. It's a little pricier than the other steaks on the menu, but if you're a meat lover like me, then I think it's totally worth the extra $10! The thick cut of steak steak was cooked to medium perfection, as I requested, and the brandy peppercorn sauce was divine! The meat was perfect; juicy, and amazingly tender. Fries were pretty meh - I'm not the biggest fan of fries in the world, and plus I prefer the thick cut style to thin and crispy. To compensate, we ordered sides to share. We ended up getting the saut\u00E9ed mushrooms and an order of garlic spinach. The mushrooms were standard steakhouse fare, but the garlic spinach was delicious! Super garlicky. Plus I felt a little better having some green on my plate. Kinda healthy.\n\nThe view of the Bellagio fountains cannot be beat, especially during dinner. It's a great spot for people watching and I have to say that I think it's a little better suited for groups than for a romantic dinner. The tables are bunched up pretty close together, so much so that you can pretty much eavesdrop on your neighbors conversations! The servers here are very welcoming and friendly, but not the most attentive. We asked for ketchup twice and didn't get any until towards the end of the meal. I'd cut them some slack though, even on a weeknight the outside patio looked totally slammed!\n\nIn terms of value, this place cannot be beat! The steak is delicious, and after splitting the appetizers, my tab for dinner came out to be what I would pay for an ala carte steak anywhere else on the strip. Cheap, yes. But not cheap tasting! If you're craving steak in Vegas, Mon Ami Gabi is not to be missed!"^^ . "1"^^ . "2015-11-02T00:00:00"^^ . .
