This restaurant had been on my list for a while, and I’m glad I finally visited with friends. It’s always packed when I walk by, and now I see why. The hostess and staff, including Partner, who was kind, funny, and brought our wine, made us feel welcome. Our server, Crystal, provided excellent service with helpful recommendations that suited my picky eating. The menu included a few great options for my gluten-free and vegan friends, and the food met all our expectations. The desserts, especially the crème brûlée and pistachio brownie, were outstanding. I look forward to returning to try more seasonal offerings. Thank you, Silver, for a wonderful dining experience!

The restaurant location is a little obscure and a bit hard to find. Once we arrived, we were surprised by the diner like decor of the restaurant and how empty it was. Super super impressed with their ability to accommodate gluten-free options! We ordered appetizers and entrees - overall, the food was delicious, very well prepared, & good size portions. The kitchen turned around the food orders quickly. The service was definitely lacking. Our server was a bit nutty, had an attitude, and had to be reminded of segments of our order. Don't appreciate feeling like we are inconveniencing him for having a 7pm reservation. If that was later than he wanted to stay, then they should stop taking reservations beyond 6 pm. I don't think our expectations were high for service - just looking for our server to be nice. Eye rolling when taking our order is not professional nor respectful. While the food was great, I'm not sure we will return...too many good restaurants in the area that care about customer service.

I have been here three times because they have gluten free brownies and now I am pretty sure this is the most overhyped bakery in this area. 1. the staff are totally untrained in even basic human courtesy. They act as if they are giving free food to the customers. 2. The brownie size, appearance and taste are inconsistent. Once we were given a broken brownie that was half the thickness of a decent one on the shelf. 5$ for that is beyond ridiculous. Overall, would never recommend this place and actively discourage others from going there.

We’ve been going to Mon Ami Gabi for a few years. The food and service is always great. Everyone is attentive and kind. But lately, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting Braulio and he is the best!!! He remembers us from previous visits, he always greets us with a big smile, and he’s always happy and friendly. He even remembered my gluten allergy. He is wonderful and always makes our visit so much better!!! Thank you for everything!! We’ll see you again soon!!

Lasagna and chicken cardinale (with gluten-free penne) were amazing! Great selection of beers on tap. Highly recommended!

Jaclyn Martinez

Has an entire gluten free menu. Finally had sushi after many years with celiac. Food was delicious and staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about menu and gluten. Will definitely be going back!!

Menu is well marked with GF and other allergens. wait staff is helpful in how to alter a menu item to accommodate GF

We love coming back to this restaurant year after year for their delicious food and exceptional service! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Everything is made fresh and delicious and there are some unique dishes to pick form. There is gluten free pasta available for the pasta dishes. Really great quality food. Portion sizes were very reasonable for a dish, nothing too crazy. Definitely get a dessert! The chicken piccata was very well made, the risotto was a Greta vegetarian dish, and the pasta are all incredible.

I tried their birria quesadillas made with corn shells. The meat had great flavor. The birria broth had a touch too much cinnamon for my taste, but it was still good. They were very accommodating with my gluten allergy. The waiter was able to tell me what was gluten-free and what I should avoid. I really appreciate it when the wait staff can answer my questions regarding allergens. It was a busy night. All the tables inside were full. The hostess opened the enclosed patio (with heaters), so I didn't have to wait, which I was totally fine with. Inside was very loud with people talking over the music and other people, so I was grateful to sit on the patio and enjoy my dinner.

We had a great time here! Might seem like a petty thing.... I loved that the person who answered the phone, I think his name was Ricky, spoke English well and was very happy and professional on the phone! The restaurant was clean, knowledgeable about the menu, friendly staff, wearing full mask - not the “chin” mask. I could see the kitchen staff was masked as well. Food came out fairly quick. Our table had the sesame cauliflower and chicken kabab for appetizer. Our friend is gluten free and there were many options. We left full and happy! Highly recommend. Loved the decor and the windows that open up to the street!

The cheesecake factory is always a great place to go eat. They have a huge menu with all kinds of options, including low-calorie and gluten-free the turkey avocado sandwich that I had this time was delicious with the side salad. The service was great. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and it was conveniently located inside the mall.

James Stempien

True diner vibes here, and some great pricing to boot! I recently got very sick and in the middle of a celiac/gluten diagnosis and they were great today. I mentioned I was gluten free and I heard her expressly tell the cooks I was celiac, no toast or bread etc. Got me some slice tomato and had some amazing eggs! A new spot for me for sure

Henkster Tucson

Walked in, ordered and food was ready in 10 minutes. They offer Gluten Free choices, a big plus! The Pho soup was great! Definitely recommend.

love having this spot close by for a breakfast stop. Where else can you pop in and expect organic milk lattes, organic eggs and incredible breads made from unbrominated flours? Where their service and skill truly shined was the catering for our baby shower. We eat a diet low on additives and preservatives and wanted the event catering to be full of healthy and delicious foods. Le Pain Quotidien really delivered on this. The tartines were delicious and we were able to take care of a variety of dietary needs for our guests. The gluten free, and vegetarian options let us serve everyone. The veggie tray was a stand out as the dips were so good. Plus the beautiful wooden display trays were a boost to any decor. It was all so healthy that I did not expect positive reviews from guests, yet a number of people contacted me after the party to ask where the catering was from. The ordering process was simple and they were really helpful making suggestions, answering questions and even making a number of changes along the way. The day of the party delivery was seamless and exactly on time. The service was excellent.

Food is back up to the level it used to be at this location. Had the steak fajitas, and they came out of the kitchen as ordered. A member of our party was able to modify a bowl so that it was gluten and dairy free - a plus.

Ina Griffin

This place is so amazing!!!! The seared scallop salad was gluten free! The BEST!!!

Elizabeth Challenor-Reese

Very limited menu of steak or Portobello mushrooms. If you don't eat steak there are no other protein options. The mushroom was good. The fries and mushrooms are gluten free.

I went here on a Saturday right before rush hour seemed to hit. It was not crowded until much later into our meal. I found the seats comfortable and staff friendly and attentive. Beer: This has a much greater range of options that anyplace that isn't a beer specialty restaurant. They also have seasonal and specials (being October there was some pumpkin flavors, gross). They serve in several sizes the largest being 25oz. Which lasted me an entire meal and for only $7.50 I felt I got my moneys worth out of it compared to a cocktail. I recommend knowing what you like or asking for a sample tasting before getting a giant beer. For price and variety of flavors and sizes this was excellent. Food: You'll find the classic American style of options but also some extra options you wouldn't expect. I ended up with a Mac N cheese with chicken and bacon mixed in. This was excellent, and they have a separate gluten free menu. However it should be noted that the menu is "gluten sensitive" and may not be for people with Celiac's. I would inform the server of your allergy to double check they prepare it safely. Serve went very well and I know not everyone will have the same experience. But hopefully the resturant will make amends for your issue. For the few times I've been I found this to be a pleasant experience and a price point to match.

Friendly, knowledgeable service. My friend has Celiac disease and they really took great care to help her with the menu. Food was delicious. Would recommend.
