One the best meals I have had in Boston. The cocktails were delicious, the food was perfectly executed, and the “Caramel apple” dessert was as delicious as it was unique. The service was excellent as well - our server Camila was a delight.

Mistral and Aquitaine are among my favorite French restaurants in Boston, but I had not tried Bistro du Midi until last night. I would now give this the top rank. We had the special ribeye, buillabase, duck, steak tartare, tortellini , octopus and everything was delectable. Service and atmosphere are also top notch. Even the kids pizza was unbelievable. Given the flawless dinner, I expected the desserts to be the same, and while the chocolate soufflé and crème brûlée were excellent, the other items we tried were good, but not great. You may need a second job to pay for the dinner, but if you have the money to drop, it’s worth it.

This is an exceptional restaurant. We had a really great server named Sonny. They only do lunch during December. It was a real treat to do this meal in the middle of the day. The price tag for two people was astronomical, however. (They offered us a 60 ounce Japanese Wagyu tomahawk steak for $650, for example. We passed.). That being said, in the end, it was well worth the price in my opinion.
