Mon Ami Gabi Chicago Reviews
Good French Food with Exceptional Service
I've been to Mon Ami Gabi a number of times times and it's consistently good but not always great. The food with a French flair is always delicious and predictable but not overly creative. The ambience is very nice and the staff extremely a
Food is always top notch and Sevices right there with it.
We always enjoy our time at Mon Ami Gabi. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone even if you're not a fan of French food.
Amazing food, comfortable ambiance for group or solo
Amazing food, comfortable ambiance for group or solo outings, & kind staff inside the restaurant. The greeter was okay, could have been friendlier but we all have our days I suppose. I got the Caesar salad (11/10) which was stacked with goodness,
Mon Ami Gabi is always a reliable choice on a night out.
It's consistently good, has great ambiance, and exceptional service. I think it is one of the best amongst the Lettuce Entertain You restaurants. They make a great cocktail and the small plates are solid. We always enjoy the Steak Frites, the sa
This year Kelly and I have returned to Mon Ami Gabi,
This year Kelly and I have returned to Mon Ami Gabi, visiting every other month or so, and we are glad we did. The pleasures of dining here are classic and dependable. Steaks are numerous and outstanding, as is the rack of lamb, if they have it on
Excellent food but is not authentic French.
The atmosphere is great and has great vibes but the accountability of some waiters/servers needs to be addressed as it relates to respect of customers. There are some serious management issues but recently changes have occurred. Lettuce Entertaine
I've eaten here probably 5 times for both brunch and dinner.
It's always a vibe and sitting outside was more casual and relaxing. Mac and cheese could change your life and the baguette- good shit !!! The salad with the buttermilk dressing is lovely and everything is always good here- great service. Would
Wow, just wow.
Came in after just a quick Google search for French restaurants and what an experience. Incredible ambience and service. Walking thru the dining area to the patio, I could just hear "then he kissed me by the Crystal's in my mind as we passe

Everything was great! I'll be the hype person for a moment-- but Michael gave the best service; extremely attentive and Mon Ami Gabi is our #1 place to frequent from here on. The building was beautiful. We sat outside because the weather was ama
We love this restaurant.
So sad the Oak Brook location closed, but it's worth the drive into the city. . #iraeats #iraeats1
Mon Ami is the place to be.
One of our favorite dining experiences in the city, from food to vibes to SPECTACULAR service. Shouting out our server Lily, who truly went above and beyond to make our night special. They made perfect recommendations, paid attention to detail, and w

We have had many excellent meals and especially considered the onion soup to be outstanding. However our latest order was simply awful. Gone was the flavor of what always tasted like a wonderful red wine. Gone was the richness of the broth. Instead w
Far better than the Bethesda one.
Service and food both good. Consider offering two kinds of frites.
Very nice ambiance, food and service! Had a fun time with
Very nice ambiance, food and service! Had a fun time with my group. The only negative is trying to book larger parties (8+) and they're very busy so often challenging getting a reservation for more than 2 ppl.
This was our first time here and we had a 5pm reservation.
It's a beautiful space and we got seated immediately. Love the French music they play as well. We enjoyed the food. Our waiter was pleasant; however, we like to dine when we visit nice restaurants. We don't like to order everything at once
Love this Restaurant.
First of all, it is part of the lettuce entertain you restaurant group and I get points for eating at their restaurants. You should check it out. It is one of the best rewards programs out there. The food is very good, and the servers are attentive
Haven't reviewed this place in awhile.
Family has been coming here fo over 25 years for everyone's birthday-- seen the ups and downs, renovation, pandemic.... Food quality in general is still excellent-- steak frites and chicken are consistently excellent. Belden cocktail: also excel
Make This Your Go-To!
Mon Ami is a true go-to. The food and drinks are always excellent. The phenomenal food is always complimented by the kind, accommodating, and engaging staff. I’ve never had a negative experience and it will remain at the top of our list.
Mixed Dining Experience
Our family recently celebrated birthdays at Mon Ami Gabi. It was a mixed experience. The pluses were the delicious food and service. What more could you ask for, right? Unfortunately there were significant minuses as well. First, the food, which was
Special Anniversary
Our 56th anniversary (told them with reservation) was incredibly special - greeted with a lovely flute of champagne. The food, the wines, the server Michelle, and the festive atmosphere of the Restaurant Week in Chicago made it one of the most memor
Moan about Gabi
The service was good, the restaurant lovely and the building it’s located in was AMAZING! The food however was about average. The chicken liver mousse was terrible. And the pomme frites were basically fried potato shavings, the majority of them wer
A great dinner before or after "ZooLights"
This is a fabulous high-end spot for dinner before or after visiting the zoo for "ZooLights" during the Christmas season. The restaurant is only about a block from the west entrance of the zoo, and the classic French cuisine is first tier.
Good food, ambiance issues
The food was excellent. My wife and I each had a steak frites and were very pleased with the quality the stead and the fries. Service was particularly well, friendly and efficient. One problem is the dark lighting. Very difficult read menu and not co
Losing it's luster.
For me, it is losing its luster but the prices are still high. We have eaten here many times. Atmosphere lovely, menu too. But all our food was a little off and way overpriced. I had a salad and an appetizer sized pot of mussels. My husband had
Amazing date night! Great service also.
As someone who isn't the biggest fan of steak, i really enjoyed it here with the herb butter!
This place is gorgeous.
Went there for a friends birthday and she was very happy. $35 for steak and fries is a pretty good deal and that's what most plates cost. Out of all of steaks the filet mignon was the tastiest. It's one of the nicer restaurants in Lincoln park to go
Dear Rachel, you are the rudest server I have ever had.
I have been coming to this restaurant for 5+ years. We decided to celebrate our daughter's college graduation at this restaurant and the first thing you say is "congratulations what did you get your degree in?" My daughter responds that she

Mon Ami has been my go to French restaurant in the city and tonight by far was the best I've had here. Everything was on pointe from start to finish. Started with martinis which we asked to be extra cold and it came with a layer of ice crystals floa
So good! I'm stuffed.
This place was so good and such a vibe. It's on the fancy side so dress up a little, the pics will be worth it. The entrance has a cool old money vibes aesthetic
Mon Ami
This is our "special occasion" restaurant. I can't afford to go to France, but the atmosphere makes me feel like I am there
There is a reason this place is always packed.
They are hitting on all cylinders. The food is fantastic. The ambience is nice and the Service is off the charts. Hopefully you get Liz as your waitress. Steak frites probably one of the best I've ever had in the espresso martini is perfect

I got the steak frites with au poivre sauce and it was cooked perfectly!! The sauce had a lot of flavor and the steak was so tender. The fries were just ok, they were kind of mushy. The hostess was so nice and made sure we sat at the best table. Was
Brought my spouse for his birthday.
Everything was great and waiter was in good spirits. We got there early for 5:15 pm reservation. They were very accommodating, even pulling out the table to sit down. It was crowded but not too loud. We ordered the mussels and bread. Very generous
The food here is amazing.
It was my first time trying this restaurant and we were there for a birthday. Our reservation was at 9pm but they were backed up so we waited until about 9:20 pm to be sat at a table. We got a drink at the bar and sat in the lobby. Our server was ver
The Best Chicago French restaurant.
Why 5 Stars? Easy - this was an amazing experience from the moment we approached the building. The restaurant is in an historical certified building with gorgeous chandeliers and beautiful details in the entrance lobby. The restaurant was bustling w

A great birthday dinner!
A delicious birthday dinner. Restaurant is not too loud, but is intimate and delicious and service was attentive and kind. High quality food and a wonderful evening.
Disappointing
Made a reservation way in advance and they tried to pawn off the worst table in the restaurant when we arrived (as we were 2 women). We waited an additional 30 minutes for another table in the back room. Very little ambience. I’m always put off whe
Delicious classic French cooking in a relaxed upscale environment
We went here the week prior to Christmas with extended family. (4 adults, 3 kids) The menu features classic French Country fare: steak fritte, French onion soup, escargot, fillet, salads, and beef bourguignon. Steaks can be topped with classic Frenc
Nice
Charming French bistro decor, good food. they know how to not overcook eggs; not a tinge of brown on the omelette. The truffle eggs don't work; the chewy bits of truffle overwhelm the delicate softness of the eggs, and their flavor as well. Melted b
The Best of Everything!
Our daughter's rehearsal dinner was held here and I can't speak highly enough of the service, the food, the drink, the atmosphere. During our cocktail hour the electricity went out due to high winds in the area. The staff at Mon Ami Gabi didn't mi

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mon Ami Gabi Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mon Ami Gabi Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Mon Ami Gabi Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mon Ami Gabi Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
