"Visit this restaurant for dinner or Sunday brunch to enjoy Lincoln Park views and bistro fare, ranging to include premier seafood and several takes on steak frites. Chef David Koehn gave careful consideration to the burger. He caramelizes a Brandt Beef patty on the plancha before topping it with Tomme de Savoie, a French Alps cheese that imparts tangy, earthy notes—and gives this handheld its standout status. Koehn also incorporates house pickles and gribiche, a house-made French sauce with herbs, capers, and cornichons, for layered flavor and crunch. Pair it all up with the accompanying mound of piping, hand-cut house frites, et voila."
"When you think of eating out with children, French restaurants might not immediately come to mind. But Mon Ami Gabi, in Lincoln Park, understands that there are eight-year-olds who appreciate escargot. (There’s also a kids’ menu with things like steak frites and mac and cheese, just in case.) No one has to get dressed up to come here, but if you’re looking for an excuse to see your four-year-old nephew in that tuxedo he wore at your wedding, feel free to lie and say it’s black tie. Just be prepared to pick up the bill when his parents realize what you’ve done." - adrian kane, nick allen
"We think this is pretty cute: Mon Ami Gabi is doing “round the fire pit” kits. They cost $50, and include things like hot chocolate with chantilly cream, brie, fresh chestnuts for roasting, and stuff for hot toddies. They also have a Parisian New Year’s dinner for $65 per person, with dishes like beef tenderloin, roasted vegetables, freshly-baked bread, and desserts." - adrian kane
"Mon Ami is another French restaurant with very good food. Come here for brunch, then go for a walk around Lincoln Park." - adrian kane
