My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Daisie's and could not have been happier with our experience. We received outstanding service that made us feel extra special on our special day. Our server, Nick, wished us happy anniversary immediately after seating us, and treated us to two glasses of champagne on the house. Additionally, Nick helped us select between two pasta dishes. Later, he came out carrying the one we hadn't chose, saying that the kitchen had extra and he knew of a perfect home - on the house. Our food was impeccable, and each dish tasted like it was made with intention and care with a creative & local emphasis. Even the cocktail wowed me! The unique pasta shapes delighted me to no end. Thank you thank you for helping us (and our tastebuds) feel celebrated!

the gnudi was absolutely spectacular, unbelieveable spice combination that was extremely flavorful without being spicy

It has been several years since we dined here. We remembered the food being delicious, but the service felt very rushed. This time, I am happy to write. the service was better this time. The food and cocktails were more delicious than we remembered. We ordered the escargot, Lyonnaise salad and oxtail bourginoun(?). The escargot is probably the best we've had in Chicago. Lyonnaise was very good, but a bit too much vinegar in the dressing for my taste . The oxtail was incredibly tender and delicious, and definitely plenty for two people. We did not have dessert, as we were completely full. We will definitely return again in the near future.

We have been dining at Mon Ami Gabi for decades. We think they lost their footing a bit post-pandemic, but on our last visits, we have felt reassured that they're back on their game. We were greeted by name by the host/manager . We then had a delicious meal, expert and friendly service and the room had a pleasant vibe. Our only issue was with the 3.5% surcharge on the bill (which we asked to have removed). We have no issue with these kinds of charges at smaller, independent restaurants. But with large corporate chains like Lettuce Entertain You, we find them problematic. We would rather give more to the team who was servicing our table. Even so, we look forward to returning.
