Restaurant Name: Mon Ami Gabi
What could be more romantic than having dinner directly under the Eiffel Tower while watching a choreographed fountain display on the neighbouring Italian Lake? Eh? Okay, I’m not in Paris. I am, of course, in Vegas!
Mon Ami Gabi is a bistro style restaurant in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel with views – and a terrace – overlooking the Strip and the Bellagio fountains across from it. Although quite a large restaurant it manages to retain an intimate feel, helped by subdued lighting and that most romantic of radiance, candlelight. The inner room is furnished in dark wood and has the feel of an exclusive members only club, the conservatory is airy and light with large windows overlooking the terrace and the Strip – we were lucky enough to get a table by one of the windows and had a great view – the terrace itself looked like a great place for people watching and, on a warm evening, a wonderful spot for watching dusk fall and Vegas light up.
Service was excellent, understated yet pleasant and efficient but without making you feel that you were being rushed. Most importantly the food – French influenced steak and seafood - was delicious.
Favorite Dish: We had
Shrimp Gabi – thick meaty prawns in an oil and garlic sauce
Sea Scallop Gartinee – scallops in a mouth-watering cream, garlic and mushroom sauce
Steak Roquefort and Frites - excellent
Parmesan Crusted Fish and Frites – like very posh fish and chips, fabulous. The frites were so thinly sliced they were like delicate and tasty crisps
Banana Crepe with Ice-Cream and Syrup – Yum!
Crème Brulee – Yum, Yum!
Bottle of white wine, 2 cocktails and 2 glasses of dessert wine
Total cost for two with tip – 180 dollars
Quite expensive but worth every penny!
