Mon Ami Gabi in French means: My friend Gabi. And Gabi has become my friend indeed, a friend with benefits. Gabi enticed me when I was being driven down the strip and saw the hoards of tourists having a fling with him. Even though we hadn't met yet, the flames of jealousy were already being fanned. Gabi, stood at the bottom of the Eiffel tower replica...what a romantic Gabi is! He's a wanted man so if you want to hang with Gabi and avert your gaze at the Bellagio fountains...remember to call in advance to reserve your spot. The wait can be as long at 2 hours on some nights. Gabi will also let you dine inside, but the magic is lost without the blistering heat of Vegas and cooling views of the fountains. How does Gabi rank in his culinary skills? For French cuisine, Gabi is absolutely fantastic. His steak is pounded thin cooked to preference, his frites are unique, thin strips strings. They are addicting and keep you wanting more. His scallops are mediocre at best but simple if you just want something light. The accompanying cauliflower puree is a great substitute for mashed potatoes. Gabi, I count the days until our next encounter. You are the best friend with benefits I've ever had...you have stolen my stomach.

I've been going to this Wells Fargo since I've moved into my new house. Although they are only two streets down from my old place, I will sometime go back to my old branch due to the service. There is not anything wrong. The tellers here are all nice. I was just blown away with how quickly the other branch began to recognize me by face and address me by name as I walked in. The ATM deposit has been a lifesaver for days where I need to get to work.

Ugh - so I went here this morning and while there was nothing wrong with the food (just got apple cinnamon oatmeal - review on that later) the cashier was bothering me. I mean it's freaking 7:45 AM in the morning - just let me pay for my damn oatmeal and get to work! There was NO ONE else in line, therefore no one in front of me and I'm standing in front of the cashier waiting to pay...now get this...I'm standing there, debit card in hand, while she's completing a text message. And it's not like she just needs to press "send" oh no - there's is content getting written before my eyes as I wait there, and I'm thinking to myself is this really happening, who the hell could she be texting this early, and why the hell is she making me wait while she completes the content of a text message. Now, I realize that ABP (Au Bon Pain) isn't some uber-professional establishment, but I'm thinking this should be in customer service 101 - stop texting while a customer is waiting to pay for item, you may resume texting after customer(s) are gone. The oatmeal was tasty - and I like that they have a self-serve topping area (containers filled with nuts, cranberries, raisins, brown sugar, granola). They had a choice between plain and apple cinnamon oatmeal - I went for the apps cinn mush - good stuff. If only they could train their employees better.

Joyride was a joyride. Finally made it in after being on my radar for a few weeks. Quite possibly the best tacos I've ever had (carne asada, baja fish, and short rib). Not sure if the 2 star reviewers are on crack, but these tacos were muy delicioso and service was definitely top notch. I can't wait to be able to sit outside in their lawn area with some tacos and brewskies without melting away.
