位於Highwood​的優質法式料理​餐廳

Every time we enter the restaurant we feel so welcome and truly are excited to yet again enjoy a fabulous evening of delicious food, excellent and friendly service. I anticipate the perfectly chilled martini in the elegant coupe glass. We never feel rushed or forgotten. We are lucky to have Mon Ami Gabi in Chicago!

Aboyer (previously Restaurant Michael) has been one of our favorite north shore spots to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. My husband and I have been following Chef Michael all around the Chicago area for decades now, and although the amazing food has been the key reason, we have always been impressed by his professionally trained staff, who are friendly, knowledgeable and pay attention to details. On this visit, we were celebrating my birthday (2 months late) since we cancelled the first reservation when Covid hit us, and the aftereffects stayed around far too long. The evening here was well worth the wait! After stopping at the bar for a quick hello to Sergio and a Champagne (for me) and a Chardonnay we settled in to the cozy banquette for dinner. We ordered our standard starter, the delectable Gougères, a mainstay that we hope never goes away. I switched to a rich Aviary Napa Cabernet for the rest of the dinner. We were delighted to have Sergio Junior as our server! He obviously enjoys his job and is a real ambassador for the restaurant. We took his recommendations for our entrees, and both were fantastic! I never order pork, and rarely make it at home, except for a roast. The Peppercorn Crusted Berkshire Pork Rib Chop with Cognac Mushroom Sauce was by far the best pork I have ever had. Happy Birthday to me. My husband’s decadently delicious Aboyer Burger was an unexpected item for him to order here, except for how much he loved it. Thank you from both of us, SJ!!! Last night was well worth waiting for. ♥️♥️

Food and service were great; the air conditioning created a draft at our table along the window, but still a wonderful meal.

Head Chef Ceasar really knows how to bring unique pairings together, both flavor and texture, that will leave you meditating over each bite. An absolute must! Top service from every staff person; from the head chef to the host to the waiting staff. Everyone takes pride in their work and it is tangible in the overall experience

The food was excellent! The service was attentive and not rushed. All in all a great dining experience!
