The service was fantastic! The food was good, but for a tasting menu the portions should be smaller. I didn't even eat all of each course and I was still overly full by the end. Most of the wine pairings were very good, but the wine pairing with the pasta wasn't very good. However, the wait staff did ask and we let them know that we didn't care for it. They listened and seemed to appreciate our feedback. The restaurant was very noisy which didn't make for a very romantic anniversary dinner. Overall, not a bad experience, just not quite what we had in mind.

We had tea and it was lovely. The ambiance is very pleasant. The service was attentive and not rushed.

I went w/ a friend to celebrate a couple milestones in her life, and this spot was perfect.

We sat in the bistro area downstairs on a Friday night. It was busy but not too noisy. Our waiter was great. Very pleasant and attentive. The arugula/endive salad was a little bland. The French onion pizza was delicious and the filet was prepared just the right temperature and was tender. The only thing that would have improved the steak is a vegetable other than mashed potatoes. Also, the bread served with dinner was very bland and flavorless even with the addition of the unsalted butter that had a few sprinkles of flaky sea salt on top. Others around us commented the same and didn't eat the whole piece of bread but only took a bite or two. Notwithstanding this, we would recommend the restaurant and will be back.

The server we had was amazing - really nice staff, the tasting menu was a different experience that my wife and I enjoyed. Wish we did the main menu vs. the tasting menu - seemed like the other dishes were big hits with the other folks.

Overall the restaurant was very nice... the food was good but not exceptional... The front door staff were extremely friendly and professional... As a whole the dining room staff was non existent at first ... 20 minutes to get our ordered cocktails.... While waiting different staff members constantly asking us to look at the at the menu .... Finally we had a server who was able to take care of us... Jose Ramon.... After his intervention things moved along well ... .... Their bus service was also terrible..probably not their fault.. sloppy removal of used dishes ... finished cocktails glasses still on the table at dessert time... no crumbing of bread and food particles.. a real mess! What Bistro du Midi lacks is a professional who can teach the dining room staff to be professional.. efficient and attentive... This critique is actually from one pro to another who needs to pay more attention to a lovely restaurant!

My first time, but definitely not the last. We had a wonderful lunch filled with great cocktails and food.

We went to celebrate my husband's promotion and everyone was very kind and service was beyond excellent.

Another spectacular meal at Bistro du Midi, our favorite French restaurant in Boston! From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were treated like royalty. Our server was exceptional - friendly, and helpful. The food was great - Oysters on the half shell, Charcuterie plate, Duck Breast, Roasted Chicken Breast, and Pineapple Souffle for dessert. The cocktails were perfectly made and the 2019 Aldo Conterno Barolo was incredible. We will be back for what we know will be a perfect meal. Thank you!

This is my first visit to Bistro du Midi. We were running late because of traffic. We called and they adjusted our reservation without any issues. The food and service were both outstanding. They also have a very extensive wine list. I have enjoyed my experience at Bistro du Midi and will most certainly return in the near future.
This restaurant is billed as an elegant French eatery. It is more continental than French which for us was disapointing. The decor is beautiful and inviting the service and wait staff excellent. The menu is rather limited and leans toward sea food and fish. The noise level terrible.Not a place for a romantic dinner.

Beautiful location, with an opened view of the Common on a sunny, 70-degree day. Excellent French atmosphere and quality. Bill was not outrageous at all for this level of quality. I'm a snob and I'm sold.

Had the summer tasting menu and each and every dish was divine! The Chef came to our table to introduce a few of them and it made the whole meal all the more enjoyable. Definitely recommend the wine pairing to go with it.

First time to visit French restaurant in Boston, and first time to stay in this city. Tried chef's sampler meals for this visit and enjoyed their meals (each plates), wine pairing as well. Overall courses are so organized and good start of Champagne and cold lobster soup with truffles. Will try again in winter season.
