    We ended up at MIDA on a Monday. They have a special, which is a real value ( five dishes for $80) and more than you can eat, but this allows you to sample different pastas. While some were better than others, all were very good. Nice wine selection and attentive service.

    Mida is our favorite restaurant. It is a neighborhood gem, very intimate in a wonderful setting. The food is always amazing, but what sets Mida apart is the outstanding service by all members of the wait staff. Our favorite spot is a chefs table so we can see the intricate and coordinated cooking of our delicious food by the outstanding chefs. It is always an exceptional dining experience.
