Great tapas restaurant with a marked gluten-free menu. Just check with your server about cross contact issues. I love the brussel sprout salad and the chirizo wrapped dates!

We were in Chicago for business. My friend has severe allergies, gluten, nuts, strawberries, eggs. We selected Mon Ami Gabi based on options for gluten free. We made reservation and arrived about 20 minutes early. Entrance to the hotel is gorgeous. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Making sure we parked at the correct valet location (there's 2 one for residence one for restaurant. They brought us to the bar while we waited for seating. Barkeep was very friendly and very efficient. We didn't wait more then 20 minutes for our table. We were seated and we ensured they were aware of the concerns for gluten and other allergens. Waiter already was aware thanks to OpenTable reservation, I'd added a comment so they'd know ahead. They were extremely considerate pointed out the dishes that are GF. We skipped an appetizer and ordered dinner. The wait staff were friendly without being overly. Food was delivered quickly and cooked to perfection. I ordered medium rare beef and my friend ordered salmon almondine(without the almonds). Food was flavorful and delicious. Not only was our server attentive but the other staff ensured we were comfortable, well taken care of, and had everything we needed. They cleared dishes and glasses quietly while you ate without being distributive and made sure the water glasses were always full. I'd highly recommend the restaurant if you're in the area. For a Thursday the place was Busy. Reservations highly recommended. A mixture of date nights, family dinners (with younger kids) special occasions. Some folks were dressed up others in flannels and it all worked.
Cozy café with exceptional gluten-free pasta and careful cross-contamination in an inviting setting.

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town.
Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Boka - A Good Dining Experience with Some Limitations
Boka, situated in Lincoln Park, is known for its upscale ambiance and innovative menu. While the experience was pleasant, it fell short of the high expectations often associated with this Chicago favorite.
Food & Menu:
The menu, crafted by Chef Lee Wolen, presents modern American cuisine with some creative touches, including a few vegetarian and gluten-free options. One of our friends is gluten-intolerant, and the restaurant was able to accommodate this seamlessly, which we appreciated. While the food was well-prepared and enjoyable, it didn’t leave a lasting impression—good but not remarkable for the price point.
Ambiance, Accessibility, & Family-Friendliness:
Boka’s chic and serene interior makes it an appealing spot for an adult night out, but it’s not particularly suited for families with kids. Accessibility is a downside, especially when it comes to the restrooms, which could be challenging for guests with mobility needs, even though they were spotless.
Service & Valet:
The service was attentive and courteous, adding to the refined experience. We also took advantage of the valet service, which was $17 and cash-only—something to keep in mind if you plan to drive. While I didn’t try the wine and can’t comment on the pairings, the cocktail and non-alcoholic options looked appealing.
Final Thoughts:
Boka is a solid choice for a special occasion or an upscale meal in Chicago, with an elegant ambiance and good, accommodating service. However, given the price point and reputation, it didn’t quite achieve the “wow” factor. If you’re looking for a memorable, top-tier culinary experience, other Chicago spots may leave a stronger impression.

Call in an order to go for four people. Got home and realized the labels on several of the trays were wrong so then had to do a mix and match to figure out if we actually got what we ordered. I'm come to find out that we actually had the food we ordered they just mislabeled the lids. Thank goodness we didn't have to walk the 25 minutes back to the restaurant from where we live. The food was good that chicken was amazing it was a tender and soft my husband's snake was great on his bowl it just seems that they put quite a lot of rice rather than the vegetables in order to make the bowl full. It would be nice if there was more vegetables in the bowl than just so much rice. I was thankful for the gluten-free naan it was rather hard and even microwaving it with a soft wet towel did not bring it back to life. The yogurt sauce on the side was best rather than putting it all over the salad. Would eat here again. is a bit spendy.

Delighted that all the appetizers that needed bread were enjoyed by all with their toasted gluten free bread brought alongside the naan and sourdough. Even the delicious Truffle Bucatini was prepared with gluten free pasta. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Steak & Ale Pot Pies were amazing. Service was attentive and friendly.

One of the best vegan burgers that I've ever had! They don't have much vegan options, most of the add-ons and sauces have dairy ingredients but the ones available won't disappoint you. The patty had a really nice crust on the outside and was not mushy like most bean-based patties. It would be wonderful to see gluten-free bun as an option, I had to eat in a lettuce bun but still wasn't bad. The staff is super friendly and care about your experience!

Ordered to go and pleased with the over the phone service and suggestions.
The gluten free arancini were our favorite and had perfect texture.
The ceviche was less convincing. Was disappointed that it wasn’t served with a chip of some kind and the best part was the oyster mushrooms but they were just a couple big piece’s on top of the beets rather than incorporated evenly.
Dates were good, so was the caesar salad although a little wet.
The strawberry cheesecake was disappointing. It tasted as if it was made with a puree rather than fresh strawberries and was okay at best texture/flavor wise.
The restaurant looked really inviting inside and I would go back to try other items on the menu.
