    This is an absolute great dining experience. From beginning to the end of our time there everything was great. The service was impeccable and that preceded the flavorful meal. The atmosphere was lively and the vibe was buzzing, even on a Monday evening. This was our first time and I chose this place based on the reviews to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They helped add a cherry on top of the cake as they brought out dessert with a birthday celebration! Well done La Serre!

    We celebrated our anniversary here and everything exceeded our expectations! We started on the patio for happy hour and it was delightful. Our server told us about his favorites from the menu and added some extra information about the dishes, including how the tomatoes are preselected from the local farmer's market before the vendors put items out for sale. After a tasty "French Martini" for both of us, we went inside for dinner and a bottle of wine. We loved all of the dishes we shared including escargot, heirloom tomatoes, filet minion and scallops. We loved every single thing about Mon Ami Gabi! The service was outstanding!

    We had a lovely dinner with friends. This was our second time here and have no regrets. Hope to return again soon. The food never disappoints. I had an appetizer, split salad and some veggies and was totally satisfied with my meal. Everyone else enjoyed their starter and main. Thanks so much for a lovely evening.

    This was my first time enjoying the experience. My husband took me for my birthday.! keep in mind I do have allergies and they worked very very well with my allergies. Also gave me a gift certificate because I couldn’t have a birthday dessert. I will definitely be back in the future! Hands-down, one of the best places I’ve been.
