The expansion of Mon Ami Gabi into the adjacent former Häagen-Dazs space at Bethesda Row may have an unintended consequence for next door neighbor Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema. An awning now being attached over the extended outdoor dining area appears to block the view of the animated theater marquee screen that displays the films currently showing. The theater is rather far back from Woodmont Avenue, but the marquee display was previously viewable from the street and sidewalk. There don't appear to be any other downsides to the French restaurant's expansion - there will be more seating inside and out at the popular establishment, and the significant investment by Mon Ami Gabi suggests the building is going to be around for many more years into the future, despite the theater's lease expiration pending for 2027.

Alas, that sign has not worked properly or was completely dark since Covid.
Bourdain said the only time he ever got severe food poisoning was from a meal at a French restaurant IN France.
At least it's not blocking the Giffords sign... Oh wait.
