"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mon Ami Gabi, a French restaurant located in Reston. It was a brunch date with my wife, and I must say, the experience was delightful from start to finish. Mon Ami Gabi not only offers a charming ambiance that transports you to a Parisian bistro but also delivers exceptional cuisine and innovative drink options. Let's begin with the food. Don't skip on French onion soup! The steak frites we ordered were simply outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavor. The accompanying fries were crispy and accompanied by a delectable sauce that enhanced the overall dish. Equally impressive was the roast salmon served in a pea and asparagus puree. The salmon was impeccably cooked, moist, and flaky, while the puree added a delightful freshness to the dish. It's safe to say that both dishes left us thoroughly satisfied. When it comes to the drink selection, Mon Ami Gabi truly excels. For those who enjoy alcoholic beverages, the French martini and French 75 are highly recommended. These drinks take classic recipes and add an innovative twist, resulting in a delightful and refreshing experience. The French martini, with its blend of vodka, raspberry liqueur, and pineapple juice, was both sweet and tangy, while the French 75, made with gin, lemon juice, sugar, and topped with champagne, offered a sophisticated and bubbly sensation."

"Everything was great. Grade: A- Jackson lives up to the outstanding reputation of his siblings in the Great American Restaurants Group. In a recent conversation about their restaurants with a chef in a local high-end facility, we both said that they share an important property – consistency. Jackson met the standard with ease. The service is excellent, with all waiting staff extremely competent and ready to help. It's a bit loud, especially on the bar side, its only drawback in our book. But the food is and should be why you want to come here. Every dish was designed by someone who knew food and prepared by someone who knew how to prepare it. Beginning with the appetizers, deviled eggs with seasoned pecans sugar cured bacon were addicted, with a strange combination of flavors that works beautifully. Crispy sweet mad kalamari were wonderful and plentiful. It is rare that I will be blown away from a salad, but Billy's chop house salad, mixed greens with a number of ingredients, including fresh corn from the cob, has an incredible buttermilk herbal dressing that almost had I lick the remains. Grouping fingers, represented as fish chips, were perfect. Not less exquisite was the huge part of the main rib, even better made with her grated horseradish. Every aspect of the meal was immaculate, and it would take a mere mention of Jackson to bring me back."

"When it is done right the food itself is pretty good. However, the customer service here is horrible. The last several times I have ordered from Cafesano the chicken kabob was dry and overcooked. The pita bread was also burnt and hard and impossible to eat with the hummus. It was absolutely inedible.So on March 29, 2022, I thought I'd give them one more try and maybe if I told the manager of my previous experience and placed an order with him perhaps it might turn out better.When I asked to speak to the manager I was told he was busy and couldn't speak to me. Since I was the only customer in the restaurant at 5pm I insisted to speak to the manager and was told I would have to wait. I responded by asking what restaurant would tell a customer that and was looked at with a blank stare and again was told he was busy.After 15 minutes the manager finally came out and I expressed my concerns about the food and service. I told him about my last experience at CafeSano and that I wanted to place my order with him. I told him I was hoping he would personally make sure the order was correct. He said he was too busy and couldn't do that. I told him that I had never experienced a manager who had so little concern for his customers and perhaps that was why no one in the restaurant at 5pm. I gave him one last opportunity to keep my business and he said nothing. He just turned and walked away.I left and will never go back. I don't know how a restaurant that operates with complete disregard for their customers can keep the doors open. Hopefully, my review can help others from having such an awful experience."
