Stephanie LichtensteinOctober 20, 2017The steak frites with merlot butter is the way to go I normally get filet mignon but their steak is very flavorful and juicy definitely try the Merlot butter so good and their mashed potatoes were too
MarilynJanuary 5, 2012Great eavesdropping at this cozy resto; while you're pretending not to be nosy, try an order of frites and escargot to start; fish dishes are really good, and the desserts are pretty solid.- Christopher FlossFebruary 20, 2015Mon Ami in Lincoln Park is a snapshot of a traditional French bistro venue. Everything is great: warm French baguette, New York strip and, of course, creme brûlée!! All is VERY good!
Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 21, 2018LEY does it again w this great restaurant. After visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo, I love to sit at the bar, enjoy beverages & seafood. Or when scheduled- reserve your spot for Jammies & Jersies brunch!- My favorite restaurant in Chicago. Great ambience and service, strong drinks, excellent steak frites. Also try the escargots!
Redeye ChicagoMarch 6, 2015A twist on the classic French dish, the beef bourguignon benedict features an English muffin, poached egg, hollandaise, beef cheeks, celery, onion and carrot in a red wine sauce. Read more
bj jonesDecember 13, 2013My sentimental fav...steak frittes awesome...scallops delicious...bread is great...pate wonderful...daughter loves the mussels.....we take the whole family
Cat GaoJuly 26, 2014The escargots were super disappointing - skip them. My friend had the Bordelaise steak, which I tried a bite of and highly recommend.
Karin KovitvongsaOctober 20, 2011Awesome Value. Tuesdays they offer Duck L'Orange which is to die for. Their Fish & Frites is light & tasty and their Steak & Frites options are amazing. High quality meat :)- Christopher FlossNovember 25, 2014If you like Mon Ami, you MUST go to the Lincoln Park location. The setting feels like you're in a classic movie!
- Saltanat Muslim-AliFebruary 3, 2013Definitely get escargots de Bourgogne, trout amandine, burgundy braised beef short rib, and steak frites and crème brûlée

LesleyMay 28, 2013Get the moule frites..if you don't want it so heavy, as for light (or no) cream. Mmm!
- Ana DitmarsJanuary 5, 2014Get the goat cheese appetizer. Eat any entree, but be sure to get the fabulous mousse for dessert!
Heather GDecember 20, 2015Wonderful service, great bartender - cost atmosphere and manager truly cares
Now.... That's a Knob Creek on the rocks Mon Ami Gabi Style! No rush for the table for me.
Time Out ChicagoApril 3, 2012Kids get an Easter basket full of holiday treats at this Lincoln Park bistro. And adults—they get quiche, crêpes and anything they want from the regular bistro menu. Read more
Erin P.February 7, 2013Les escargots sont magnifiques avec du pain chaud. Like buttah. Or literally, as they're swimming in about two sticks' worth.
The short ribs or hanger steak with Merlot butter...oh my!- Mac P.February 14, 2012The filet with the merlot butter reduction is the best steak in the city. Seriously.
Zach DraneFebruary 14, 2014Baked goat cheese is divine. Filet Mignon Merlot is unbelievable. Ugh. Ridiculous.
Andrea ClevengerOctober 2, 2011David is the BEST server I've had in a really long time! Amazing service and great food!
Laura DalugaJune 5, 2010I'm a florist and we had a small wedding reception here. I must say that the staff at Mon Ami was fantastic!
Tommy BarthJune 20, 2010The scallops are insanely fantastic. I got the steak bearnaise... exquisite. And the waitstaff was flawless
Chicago magazineMay 7, 2012Plump mussels, buttery escargots, wafer-thin frites, and steaks—both thick and slim—rule at this classic bistro. Read more
