The two stars are for the food only. Otherwise, negative stars would be in effect. WHO on earth could possibly find this place worth returning to? What a completely miserable experience. The bitchy emo service obviously leaves something to be desired, then again so does the ENTIRE restaurant! Sure, melted cheese in a crepe is good. Know what else is good? ANY melted cheese from any breakfast place and Not having to endure this hell hole. I am just upset that I went there in the early part of my day and am now in a foul mood as a result. I have been in Pittsburgh a few weeks and this place is without rival the worst brunch I've ever had (PA or CA) So, the one positive thing about it IS.... it has made me appreciate every other sub par brunch I've had up until this point. Absolutely will never return. EVEN THE Orange juice was bad. Are you kidding?

I want to start sining Irish Drinking songs as soon as I walk in. I might get away with it because this bar located on one of the most beautiful of Pittsburgh streets is ALWAYS busy. Great bartender (other people think so to, he has won awards for pouring beer), good food, and because it is always busy makes you feel like you made a good choice. The only star it is missing is due to all it's beers being a little higher than I wish, but that is clearly not stopping me from coming back or driving out of my way to get here. Now I have changed my mind and it gets another star.

Mon Ami Gabi is a beautiful restaurant, and there is certainly no shortage of people. If you don't make a reservation, it'll be very hard to get a table in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully, and the outdoor dining overlooks the Bellagio fountains, which is an added bonus. I started with the escargots, which were very mediocre. Escargots are quite literally my favorite food, so I'm quite the connoisseur when it comes to them. They tasted fine, but they didn't have much flavor. They were definitely forgettable. 5.5/10. For my entre, I had the Filet Mignon Merlot. It was very flavorful and the red wine reduction was delicious. The frites were tasty, and very different. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and it was excellent quality. 9/10. Service was excellent throughout the night, and everyone was very polite. The entire waitstaff was very helpful and they clearly cared about their customers.

Still trying to search for a Chinese go-to place near my new house. Tried Baoding which was the blandest Chinese food ever made. Tried Dragonfly-- got the General Gao Chicken, veggie lo-mein, and steamed dumplings. They were all just mediocre, nothing worth trying again. Still on the hunt for my go-to place.
