One of our favorite restaurants. The food is always very good although the menu seldom changes - we would probably go more frequently if they changed the menu. The wine list is excellent and the wine staff are approachable and always ready with some offbeat and interesting suggestions.

Nice views of the Boston Gardens, particularly in the Spring. Outdoor seating is possible, but I have not tried that: I will in the future. Terrific place to take a date, spouse. Prices are on par for the quality. Very helpful staff.

I'm a critic by nature.. not in a bad way, but in a positive way of --this [food/service] works for me or it doesn't. I critique food and SERVICE. Service can make the food taste bad...This restaurant has become my #1 favorite in Boston. The service: IMPECCABLE, the food: I've truly never had better in this city! The experience is one that I would love to share with friends, but soooo want to keep it my own hidden gem!
It's great for me b/c I often deal with high profile clientele and now have an amazing recommendation for them!

Went solo while on a business trip to Boston. Great find. The food was amazing. The chef was a sou chef at Le Bernadin in NYC. I had oysters, foir grais, and the sea bass. The souflee is worth ordering for sure. The service was also very good. Everyone looked out for me. Maybe they thought a lone diner was someone reviewing them, but either way, I am because its worth mentioning. My only hang up was the portion of foir gras was too small. For the cost, the serving should have been twice the size. Other than that, I definitely would recommend going. The food had incredible attention to detail and the service was incredible.

This place is beautifully decorated. The ambiance was great for elegant dining - yet unpretentious. The service was very good. The host and waitor were friendly and polite. The waitor was especially knowledgable. Food, itself, was excellent. I had the seared foie gras with grilled plum. The combination of taste and texture was unbelievably tastey. The hazelnut cake (crusty wafer cake not spongy) with salted caramel ice cream was also out of this world. I was happy and satisfied after this meal!

Being our wedding anniversary,we wanted to dine somewhere special & Bistro du Midi was far & above the best restaurant. The shellfish Bouillabaisse was perfectly delicious & the Grand Marnier was beyond reproach. The service was impeccable,in fact the wait staff were beyond reproach and the overall ambiance was so perfect,and "Yes" we will be back.
John & Barbara Good.

Took a while to get initial service but then very good. Smaller sized portions but quite sophisticate in preparation and very good. Good crowd for a Thursday evening and therefore a bit noisy. Liked the round table but a little large for our group of four.

Our Drinks were very good, our apps were good the Lamb Tartare was excellent with a nice presentation. I ordered the Steak au Poivre, it was good not great, and the presentation was minimal. My dining partner had the lobster pasta dish which was quite tasty but served just like I might have,at home and in a hurry, a bowl of spaghetti standing at my counter. In other words it was a white bowl with pasta, no embelleshment or garnish. Very unimpressive. The overall ambience would have been improved if the tables were parrallel to the window so both diners could see the public garden, esp this time of year!!!
