One of my favorite places to eat while in Vegas is Mon Ami Gabi (impress your friends –My Friend Gabi), in the Paris hotel. It is on the ground level, just across from the Bellagio fountains, though the view is obscured by trees and pedestrians. So don’t even bother sitting outside unless it’s really nice weather. I found the patio to be cramped and the chairs are not very comfortable. Inside is quite nice. It has some of the highest ceilings I’ve ever seen in a restaurant.

I always order the escargots “them’s snails!.” I love to dip the awesome, warm, french bread into the butter sauce that comes with them. If you’re on a date, make sure you both eat them, or one of you will smell like garlic (not very romantic). My husband really likes the Sea Scallops Gratinées. The steaks here are also fabulous. You can choose between different toppings for them such as Béarnaise sauce, tarragon shallot butter, bleu cheese sauce, Dijon mustard butter, merlot butter, or the other scrumptious toppings that can clog your arteries. The steaks also come with slivered ribbons of french fries. If artery clogging is actually is a concern for you, try the salads. Last time I went I ordered the Grilled Ahi Tuna (Nicoise) salad, and it was very good. Be aware, it is not cooked through, but quickly broiled, then sliced, so the inside is raw. My friends have also told me, that the Tomato soup and Lobster bisque are excellent. If fish is your thing, the Trout Grenobloise is quite tasty as well. Honestly, I’ve never had a bad meal, nor poor service. I usually do not make it to dessert, since I get my appetizer and a huge meal, but the dessert menu looks wonderful, so try to make it if you can. I’ve had the bananas foster crepe… mmm tasty. The wine list is quite extensive as well, which is fairly common for many Vegas restaurants. Dinner will probably cost anywhere from about $25 – $70 per person depending on your extravagance and tip.
This is a small chain, and there are 4 locations for this restaurant; two in Illinois, one in Maryland, and the one in Las Vegas.
Be sure to make a reservation if you are going, especially after 6:30pm. I learned this the hard way. http://www.monamigabi.com/
It seems like almost every trip, I end up here. I should just get the frequent diner card. Then I could use it at all of the restaurants that are managed by the Lettuce Entertain You group. http://www.leye.com/restaurants/restaurants_index.htm
