Bistro du Midi

Pretty to look at, slow service. Allegedly another member had called ahead weeks in ahead multiple times to assure they could provide a celiac-friendly option for the tea, and was assured the restaurant could, but they didn’t provide thus for the day of the event. Food was fine, not worth the price tho. Might give another chance but not as good as other Boston area tea options (ie Silver Dove steps away)

Neighborhood gem. Fantastic staff, chef, and management. Chef Mike and kitchen staff kindly accommodate my dietary restrictions. Absolutely delicious food. I eat brunch, lunch, or dinner here one or more times a week when I’m in Boston. And I’m looking forward to the recently announced afternoon tea offering. I love sitting upstairs, downstairs, or outside (views of the Boston Public Garden). I’ve had the most delicious omelettes here, and my friends rave about the ricotta pancakes, crepes, and flatbreads. The salads are fresh and delicious. Fish is prepared to perfection. Last night, with friends, we had salmon, halibut, scallops, and seared tuna. Everyone loved their meals to the last bite. Vegetarian and gluten free can be accommodated. The gluten free chocolate soufflé is large enough to share, rich, and delicious. Book in advance. It gets very busy here.
