Great ambiance and food! Would definitely come back.
It was restaurant week, and we expected a crowd, but The Virus cut off much of the usual crowd. Instead we had an attentive and pleasant Server. Our food was simply exemplary. The venison tartine was delicious, but the chicken was perfectly cooked and delightful—crunching fresh skin, and the meat was moist, tasty, and just what chicken should taste like. the panna cotta was just light, gently flavored, and the perfect ! to our dinner. Usually this restaurant is noisy and very crowded. This night there were about 6 people. nad it was a near perfect dinner.

Delicious food, beautiful views of the common, and a great deal for restaurant week. We had a great time.
Hello BonnieKDesign and thank you for your five star review! I'm glad to read that you had a great time and enjoyed your meal and I'm hoping to seeing you again soon. - Federico
The food was outstanding. The restaurant accommodated our request to be seated at a table instead of at the bar which is where my wife and I had chosen to sit when we made reservations. Service was excellent if a little overly enthusiastic at times. Bistro du Midi is not a restaurant for bargain hunters, but we were happy with the overall experience even after factoring in the cost.
Hello dowtowner. Thank you for the nice review! I'm happy to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your visit and I'm looking forward to taking care of you again soon. My best - Federico
Food was very good. Server did not understand my joke but it's ok, still great service!
Hi SarahfromQuarryStreet and thank you for your review. Haha, I'm sorry if your server did not get your joke, but I'm glad that service was good. I hope to see you again soon. My best - Federico
The food was really great, especially for it being Dine Out Boston season. The location and ambiance was also very causally-fancy. Great for a girlfriend lunch date.
Hi MeganA and thank you for your review! We are looking to having you here again soon. My best - Federico
Love the food, service and ambiance!
This is the third time we've been to Bistro du Midi in recent months. It has become one of our favorite restaurants. Everything about it is excellent, from the warm greeting at the door to the friendly and efficient service to the truly exceptional quality of the food. To top it off, our table by the window had a lovely view of the Public Garden. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Hello and thank you very much for such a nice review! We are looking forward to seeing you again soon as well! Please, ask for me next time you're in as I would like to stop by to say hi. My best - Federico
I went with a group of 6 for Dine-Out Boston. The food, service, and views were exceptional! Definitely recommend
Thank you very much for your review vam9. I'm glad that you and your guests enjoyed your meal with us. I hope to having you come visit again. My best - Federico
A wonderful date night! The ambience of this warm, charming, and light- filled restaurant matchs the suberb food. The service was warm and attentive , but not overbearing. We sat upstairs, which may have the best view in the entire city, as it overlooks the Public Garden. The food is modern Provencal and quite delicious- chestnut gnocci, steak bavette.
We went there for Dine Out Boston and look forward to going back soon.

Than you so much KristenS! I'm glad that you have enjoyed your anniversary with us and every aspect of your visit. I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. My best - Federico
We shared the foie gras terrine as an appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. The sea bass for dinner was moist and flavorful. Great place for date night or a special occasion.

Thank you so much for the nice words and the five stars, RowJones! I'm looking forward to taking care of you again soon. My best - Federico
Went during restaurant week and had a great lunch at a very reasonable price. The space is beautiful and service was great, albeit surprisingly slow for such an empty lunch time dining room. Both appetizer and mains were outstanding, but the real star of the show was our dessert. Would absolutely stop by again for that alone.

Fantastic — we will be back
Thank you very much! We are looking forward to taking care of you again soon - Federico
This is an extremely nice restaurant overlooking the Public Garden. The food and service are impeccable. I had probably the best filet mignon of my life. My wife was raving about her salmon. The server was extremely attentive to all of our needs.
Highly recommended. But if you go, don't be like some of the patrons we saw who showed up at this first-class establishment wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Really people :-?

I love this place. The menu is creative, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff is outstanding. They’ve been helpful with my dietary restrictions. Both upstairs and downstairs seating offer great views. I’m thrilled this is a short walk from where I live.

I was in town taking my son out for his birthday before a play at the Colonial theater. Perhaps my tepid response had to do with recently having an exquisite dinner at Le Cou Cou in NYC but I unfortunately felt Midi was nothing to write home about. The ambience was pleasant and the waiter meant well. My chestnut gnocchi were quite bland and starchy. My son and I shared the salmon and the short rib. Again, no interesting herbal tastes or surprises, it wasn't as tender as the salmon I cook. I found the short rib to be a bit chewy (inexcusable w a short rib) and although I love my vegetables al dente, it was an actual struggle to
cut the long strands of broccoli rabe (one of my favorite veggies). I'm all-out a dessert gal but unfortunately found the carrot cake to be on the dry side w a plain old cream cheese tasting icing.
I appreciated the bartender making a special craft cocktail for me using tequila rather than gin and it
was delicious. I wish I could recommend it more highly but I'd have to say it hovers on the high side of a C+
Thank you for your review suemv. I'm so sorry to read about the disappointing experience. Please, reach out to me at your convenience if you like to share more. You can send me an email at fsalvador@bistrodumidi.c... or call me at 617-426-7878. I would like to apologize personally and make it up to you. My best - Federico Salvador
Looks a bit tired downstairs
Great food!
Thank you BobP! :)
As a Boston Proper resident, I dine at the restaurant very often. Typically everyone is very kind however, our last visit, with a spend of $800 on a dinner celebration, the lack of appreciation was inappropriate. Regardless of the amount spent, you would think a manger would appreciate a party coming in on a Monday night, provide a celebratory dessert not when you're about to leave, and/or provide a comp some sort.
Good afternoon Boston and thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to read that you felt a lack of appreciation from our management team during your last visit. Please, reach out to me at your convenience at fsalvador@bistrodumidi.c... or at 617-426-7878. I would like to hear more about it and apologize personally. Otherwise, please ask for me next time you are in so we can chat about the issue together. My best - Federico Salvador
Perfect spot for a pre-theatre dinner. Great value with decent wine-by-the glass choices. Order the souffle dessert you will not be disappointed.
Hello TomM and thank you for your review. I'm glad to read that you had a good pre-theater dinner at Bistro du Midi! I love our souffles, both the chocolate and the raspberry :). Hopefully I will see you again soon. My best - Federico
food was exquisite. we were wondering if there is a new chef
service was impecable as well
Thank you so much for your review, mbtt. Chef Sisca opened Bistro du Midi ten years ago. He left for two years to open several restaurants but returned in January 2018. We are very happy with our current team and I am glad to read that it shows on the plates! I hope to see you again soon. My best - Federico
Perfect! And the BEST Burger!!
Thank you so much eyeluv2dine! I really love our burger! The daily house-made sesame bunn might have something to do with it... :)
We chose Midi because we were attending a performance at the Colonial Theatre and its proximity was helpful. We also wanted something elegant for our 25th anniversary date. It did not disappoint; the upstairs room, with its view of the Public Garden, was a nice setting for a special occasion. The service was crisp, aware of the time deadline for the theatre, with dishes arriving and departing efficiently. We chose small plates and they were excellent, especially the Chatham oysters and the tagliatelle. Attention to detail was obvious throughout, from the service to the food. The wine list was a plus too. We are returning during Dine Out Boston with our sons for a chance to explore the menu more fully! (Especially to try the chocolate souffle) Our only complaint was the presence of a large group halfway through the meal appearing between rooms, boisterously gathering near the door. Do the doors close and could they have stepped out of the dining area?
Good afternoon RichardC and thank you so much for the five star review. I'm glad to read that you enjoyed your dinner at Bistro du Midi and I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. I'm so sorry about the "active" large group, though. Please, ask for me next time you're in as I would love to stop by the table and thank you personally. My best - Federico
