Went here again for a mouth party starring tea leaf salad, coconut rice, cardamon rice, salt & pepper calamari, garlic chili shrimp, basil chicken, chili lamb, eggplant with garlic sauce, and garlic noodles. Tamarind margarita, lychee mojito, hibiscus margarita... LOVE everything!

The tea leaf salad really is a 'party in your mouth'. Eggplant curry and coconut rice are to die for. Lychee mojitos are very tasty and not weak. This place is fun and definitely worth a visit.
Solid basic breakfast joint.

Pancakes - good

Eggs - perfect (over medium)

Great coffee & hot cocoa. Nice sitting area with wifi for $2.
Just to be clear, we are not people afraid of too much salt or fat.
Atmosphere = great
Wine/drinks list = awesome with fun mixers & biodynamic wines
Mac & Cheese = unnecessarily salty & heavy
Linguica w/veggies over cheese grits = unnecessarily oily (1 inch grease floating on top)
Hurts so good - good.
Candied dates with goat cheese sauce = goat cheese sauce good, dates ok but together wasn't really working - too sweet & over the top strange

Fish & chips - basic, good beer batter fish & chips
Beet salad with chevre - good, small appetizer
*best

I wish I could give 4.5 stars. The only thing holding back is atmosphere - this place is in a mall with smokey gambling pits nearby. That being said, the food was, although simple sandwich fare, pretty darn tasty for fast food. I ordered the original 1762 sandwich - roast beef, sharp cheddar & creamy horseradish. Beef was very thinly sliced and seemed of quite nice quality and the artisan bread was good, with plenty of horseradish sauce that was just perfectly spicy.

American Fish
Categories:
Seafood,
American (New)
Neighborhood: The Strip
Off the main dinner menu:
[American fish caesar - little gem lettuce, black olive, capers, lemon, whole white anchovy]
-- very pretty presentation with whole anchovy (not salty) and very thinly sliced lemon on halved baby lettuces.
[Thai beef carpaccio with Maine lobster, plums, cashews, coconut foam, jalapeño]
-- Amazing carpaccio - beautiful. just fine without cashews. the small cubes of plum were very mildly pickled I think. Gorgeous flavor bursting wow and I think there were even some very tiny mint leaves on top.
[big eye tuna sashimi with black truffle mousse, caviar, green apple and finger lime]
-- the sashimi quality was super fine and truffle mousse was tasty but, amazingly, overall, the flavor was a little boring? how can this be? but it was....good yet needed a little something.

Mon Ami Gabi Restaurant

Neighborhood: The Strip
The best aspect of this surf/turf restaurant is the atmosphere - bustling and in view of Bellagio fountains. We had to wait a few minutes even though we had a reservation, which was fine because there are two bars.
[frisee & warm bacon salad with soft-poached egg, croutons]
-- absolutely delicious! the poached egg is an amazing addition and actually emulsifies the dressing - yum.
[sea scallops, butternut squash puree, brussels sprouts, hazelnuts, brown butter]
-- scallops were cooked perfectly, large portion but needed more salt. Squash was good but a bit bland and the brussels sprouts ok.
