Upscale bistro with some fabulous aperitifs and a limited but well curated menu. Lovely ambiance and friendly and efficient service. The wild mushroom tart was a standout!

Bistro du Midi is a great place for French traditional cuisine with a twist. The menu is well curated with a few standard dishes of seafood and French entrees, and a seasonal tasting menu you can also choose individual dishes from. We really enjoyed the Halibut, the beet gnocchi and the passion fruit soufflé (which is definitely worth the 15 minute wait).The service was a bit bizarre, waiters kept rushing us to finish our food which you wouldn’t expect paying 100+ per person and a rather late table (there was no one coming after us). Atmosphere is decent, downstairs and outside is definitely the better pick if you get to choose.Overall, would go again because ingredient quality is great and maybe we just got unlucky with the waiters.

Service and atmosphere were excellent. However, the food was a letdown. Everything was bland and lacking flavor.

I hope it was huta our table but we ordered 3 dishes and they were so so bad. Beets salad - the beets were over, a slight rotten taste, soft in the most unpleasant way. No dressing either. The tuna tartar was almost black from oxidation. The mushrooms would have been ok but over salty. It was Embarrassing to be honest. We were desperately hungry but couldn’t finish our meal. Went after to Tatte for a small snack. I would appreciate if the kitchen has more quality control. Thank you!

I really like this place, in the restaurant upstairs. The food is excellent. I had brunch and finished with dessert, a crème brûlée with a pear on top, this dessert was perfect

My brother and I had lunch yesterday with Dylan as our server. What an asset to the Bistro. Of course the food and wine were amazing but this young man made our experience all the more enjoyable.

Were were celebrating my husband's birthday. We are big fans of this restaurant group and decided to try their take on French food. It was lovely BUT very loud for such a nice restaurant. Also, they sat us next to a loud private party and I was tucked into a corner while people constantly shuffling in and out. Extremely disappointing considering we spent over $300!

Stellar gastronomic experience with ambeance and professional service marshalled by GM / Maître d' Errol. The establishment has resisted current 'tends' to amplify noise to convey 'hip-chatter', thank you. Scott Westphal

We were a very large party. Had a semi private room. Beautiful view of Public Garden. Service was excellent. Food portions were small given the $80 price fix. Quality was fine. Had the eggs benedict with salmon on top. Small portion of salmon on each. Tuna tartare appetizer was sized fine. Pistachio dessert was small. Still enjoy the restaurant and will return.

My family dined at Bistro du Midi for Easter Brunch. We chose this restaurant for its proximity to our hotel and its great reviews. We were not disappointed. For an $80 prix fixe menu, I dined on an endive and radicchio salad, croque monsieur and a pistachio tart. It was all excellent! The servers were attentive and the maitre d checked in at every table. I could not have asked for a better way to spend my Easter morning.

Service was very friendly. Had the oysters and Octopus appetizer. The charred Octopus was superb! Martini's were so so. Seemed watered down and didn't fill the glass. The second one was not what we ordered (no vermouth please). Overall it was fine. I'm sure we'll be back.

Another wonderful experience. My wife were attending a show “Message in a Bottle” and had a lovely intimate dinner with an early table booking overlooking the Boston Garden. The food was to die for - again. Wine list is superb. Halibut was amazing. Desert, split penut chocolate delight. A wonderful way to begin a memorable evening- we ll be back many times. Highly recommend.

My husband and I went to Bistro Du Midi in Boston. The food and wine were great! My husband had oysters and I had the arugla salad. We hared the Spanish octopus. Best ever, soft and tasty. Also Bouilabaisse Du Midi, fish swimming in a delicious sauce. We were highly impressed with Sommelier Ian Magiros, the wine and beverage director, who made great recommendations to pair our food to delicious wines. We were very impressed with his knowledge and passion he has for the wine as he gave us wine gave us the history of each wine that we tasted. He is a walking encyclopedia. Overall,our experience was an awesome night and will surely go back and recommend Bistro Du Midi to our family and friends.Parking: motor mart

Lovely room. Outstanding service. Was quite good but pricey. Wine by the glass was average. Cocktails were well done and generous.

We had a really nice meal. We ate downstairs, the vibe was relaxed but elevated. The food was delicious, doesn't stray far from classic French. Service was maybe a little slow at first, but otherwise perfect. We'll be back.
