What is the sentiment of the following review?
We sought out a lunch place for after our Vegas arrival so we thought the view and food of Mon Ami Gabi would be a nice way to start the weekend. For the most part it was. We were told that if we wanted to get started now we could sit we could sit inside or wait 30 mins and sit outside. We were hungry so screw it we'll sit inside...we walked..and walked...and walked and found ourselves outside much to our surprise! So we were in the covered patio. Perfect - just barely under the awning, avoiding the scorching Sun. This is definitely a place to be seen...especially if your penchant for attention-whoredom is working on whatever day you're there. The service here is pretty good - despite forgetting a beer that got hidden behind several other drinks, our waitress was very knowledgeable about the wine selections and even let me taste before deciding. I think that deserves some merit. Their wine of the week was a Layercake Cotes-du-Rhone. Apparently the wine maker came from Barossa valley in Australia but started a vineyard in France. Very good with the food. On to the food! Started with the butter lettuce salad with citrus vinaigrette. There is something that feels sophisticated about cutting your lettuce up rather than just constantly stabbing at veggies. My girl thought the dressing was too oily. I liked it and thought it was pretty good but nothing that would blow you away. It was a bit too warm for soup but the french onion soup looked as good as the Yelp reviews made it sound from looking at what others were ordering. For our main courses we shared sandwiches - they had a special which was a turkey sandwich with brie and orange marmalade. Sounded great so we got that. Everything was pretty good except the turkey. I thought it was a bit of a step up from butterball. It wasn't bad, but I thought they should put a bit more effort into that turkey. The Croque Monsieur here is AMAZING. Holy crap - I've had these several times before...maybe at 4-5 different restaurants but this was far and away the best. The cheese gratinee on top was great - the ham was very flavorful. If you're in the mood for a sandwich you need to try this sandwich. They'll do it "Madame" style if you prefer as well. Great lunch spot - comparing it to something more local to me, like left bank, I'd say this appears to have much of the same appeal - (what is supposed) standard french fare with the to-be-expected American concessions. Definitely a relaxing, memorable experience.
