An example of an positive review: BOTTOM LINE: There are enough good things about Mon Ami Gabi to deserve a four star review based on our dinner there last week. With so many restaurants in Las Vegas on the Strip, this is not one we'd necessarily seek out again unless it was a matter of convenience and timing that led us there. But the outdoor patio seating provides a great opportunity for people watching and seeing the Bellagio fountain both, the food is good and the prices reasonable by Las Vegas standards. So we're glad we went and can easily recommend it. SEATING: We were a group of ten and we wanted an outdoor table so some of the folks involved who had not been to Las Vegas before could watch the Bellagio fountains, right across the street, as they had dinner. Reservations are not taken for outdoor seating, and it was impressive that they could cobble together a table for ten with only about a 30 minute wait at 6:30. But what we learned from this is that Mon Ami Gabi's outdoor patio seating is probably best for couples or groups up to six just for the logistics of putting tables together. SERVICE: The restaurant was hopping inside and out and yet service was efficient for taking the orders and getting the food to the right diners and served at the right temperature. Not particularly friendly, but efficient worked in this case. FOOD: For a Las Vegas restaurant the range of choices, all with a French bistro bent, was impressive and the prices seemed more reasonable than other comparable places on the Strip. As example, a duck confit small plate that included a good dried cherry garnish was only about $11 and plenty for an entree for a light eater. Same with the crab cake served with a small slaw type salad for about $15. Same for the Caesar salad that was about $10. Steaks (served with pommes frites) for roughly $25.00 each. Scallop entree was about $30. And so on. Meals included some really good, crusty baguette set in the middle of the table in paper bags at the start. VALUE: Total bill for ten, excluding cocktails but including a couple of beers, a couple of coffees and a soft drink, was about $230. A bargain by Strip standards. LIBATIONS: While we waited on our table, some of us adjourned to the (tiny) indoor bar for a cocktail. My hubby said his Maker's mint julep was very good and my Sidecar was one of the best I've had. Cousins in law had good things to say about their rum and cokes and whiskey and sodas. Cousin in law who picked up the tab said they were spendy. As I recall, five cocktails topped $60. AMBIANCE: The outdoor patio can be fun, for the reasons named in the start of this review. The indoor portion of the restaurant is actually quite large and seating in some of it offers a white tablecloth, cozy bistro ambiance. But, the indoor seating adjacent to the outdoor bar is NOT the best in the place...not the charm of inside and not the view perspective of outside and with a lot of traffic through it from wait staff and diners. So we'd recommend avoiding this section of the restaurant. RESERVATION NOTE: If you make a reservation (indoor seating only) you will need to provide a credit card. Two hour in advance cancellation is required or your credit card will be charged $50 per head of the reservation. (Example, for a reservation for six people the default charge is $300.) This isn't the only restaurant in Las Vegas to employ a similar tactic (Mesa as example does something similar). But may be helpful to know this in advance.

An example of an positive review: We visited this restaurant last night on a whim, having decided to just drive through Chinatown and find a place that looked interesting. We made it all the way to Koreatown on Spring Mountain before we decided to backtrack and try out the "Argentinian' place. Since we weren't particularly hungry, we thought that we'd just peruse the menu and pick out a few appetizers. As soon as we saw the guarana and the Belgium-made mango juice, we realized that this wasn't an ordinary deli/restaurant. My son had the lasagna, which he enjoyed, and the rest of us shared the Parrillada Martin Fierro, which was one of the shared BBQ options. The meat was a little better than average, which is probably why it's priced so "reasonably", but what really sold it was the fragrance wafting from the cooker plunked down in front of us. That, in combination with the free flowing bread and chimichurri sauce, made it an enjoyable experience that we look forward to replicating in the future. We were too full by the end of our meal to try out any of the desserts, but they did look delicious.

An example of an negative review: I was disappointed with my visit to Cafe on Main. My husband's Belgian waffle was cooked to a crisp. It wasn't burnt, but it wasn't fluffy at all. I was hard and dry. It was supposed to be lemon poppy-seed flavored, but I couldn't taste it. I ordered the eggs benedict special, but without the meat, and with the eggs cooked so that they practically hard-boiled. My meal was delivered with meat on the sandwich, so I sent it back. When I finally did get my order, the eggs weren't cooked as well as I like. While not runny, they were still pretty gel-like. I know they probably rushed to get them out due to the mix-up, which I appreciate to a point, but... The hollandaise sauce wasn't impressive, either. It missed that tanginess that makes hollandaise sauce so irresistible. This was just bland yellow goo atop the egg. I did like the potato pancakes, but they were tiny. I left hungry and bored. The server was pleasant and prompt with refills, and the dining area was cute, but those small positives aren't enough to outweigh the fact that food was mostly boring and/or bad.

An example of an positive review: I have to say that this all-you-can-eat sushi buffet wasn't too bad. The service and ambiance was definitely better than Sushimon, but when it comes down to quality, taste, and presentation....Sushimon wins the competition! If you don't mind driving a bit off the strip, then come to this sushi place. It was only $22 for lunch when my friends and I went here on a Saturday. Sorry, peeps...Sushimon is still better for me...
