Dinner at Mon Ami Gabi<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Steak<\/a>

Best Bite:<\/strong> When it comes to French bistro fare, steak frites is about as classic as it gets, and this version was transportive. The well-seasoned steak was a tender medium-rare, the frites were especially crispy, and the peppery sauce was rich with just enough creaminess. The mini dessert trio was just as well executed, though; and I was certainly relieved to not have to choose between mousse and cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e. See full menu.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Dessert<\/a>

Other notes:<\/strong> The oven-roasted escargots were an indulgent start to the meal, but perhaps even better was dipping pieces of our still-hot baguette into the leftover garlic-herb butter. I couldn’t let those remnants go to waste! The cozy bistro environs were perfect for discussing exciting upcoming travel plans with two girlfriends, especially over a food-friendly C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne red.<\/p>\n
