About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Bistro du Midi's cuisine features French Cuisine inspired by Coastal New England influences. Our wine list represents the true soul of a bistro wine list. In a classic French bistro, wine is very much a part of every meal. As such, we offer a variety of experiences and wines at a tremendous value in a range of prices. Our elegant yet relaxed environment overlooks Boston's beautiful Public Garden with a spectacular view. A street level Bistro features floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the spring and summer our patio provides some of the most optimal al fresco dining in the city.

    Ruined Mother’s Day - absolutely horrendous and awful experience with horrific disregard for allergies that were clearly stated. Still stunned after the worst dining experience we’ve ever had in Boston. First of all, two in our party ordered the same Foie Gras appetizers and they made one incorrect/ a different menu item. Rather than just fixing their error, they brought out the two Foie Gras apps and had them choose which one each would take (the item ordered and the alternate). Bizarre and highly inappropriate. As it was Mother’s Day, my sons didn’t make a big deal and one took the alternative appetizer. Bread service was delayed and arrived after our appetizers and bread plates were already taken away - we had no plates to use until we asked our server to bring them. We could have overlooked all of that until our entrees arrived: I had very clearly explained an onion, chive and scallion allergy and clearly requested no garnishes of the kind to be added to my halibut entree. It arrived covered in chives! They agreed to remake and I went to ladies room, where I discovered the dirtiest situation with overflowing trash cans and absolutely NO soap in any of the 3 dispensers. Very disgusting but more shocking was the reaction of the maitre’d when I informed them at the host stand. He acted as though I was demanding for expecting sanitary conditions in the ladies room. Luckily I had purell but not sure if I feel comfortable eating in such a place. When I arrived back at the table, they had simply brought back my entree with stated allergens. Totally unacceptable! I sent back and then they brought back a partially raw order of Halibut. At that point I left my husband to settle up and went with one of my sons to the Four Seasons next door to get something to eat which was wonderful. Bistro du Midi - never again. You ruined Mother’s Day. Your manager barely did anything to help - not charging me for something that was either allergenic or undercooked is 0

    As always Errol was great and our server Diana was exceptional. Juliana was very kind to stop by several times to check on us as we were not in her section. Met Jeff who was very kind.

    The food and drinks were great but the service was abysmal. We had a reservation for 7:15 but were told that they were backed up so we only managed to get seated at 8:00pm which is ridiculous! What is the point of a reservation if you can't even get a table on time? Also, the waiters were rude and one even broke a wine glass on my friend. Overall a disappointing experience. Do better.
