I always share the starters... sensational. I had for main course the blue fin tuna, astonishing, the best tuna I ever ate and the fennel salad was wonderfully complex and delicious. My friend had the falafel and he couldn't stop talking about it. It was his first time in my favorite restaurant. Kate waited on us and guided my friend through the menu. Impeccable evening.

Bistro du Midi is my new favorite French restaurant. The downstairs felt like a nice cocktail bar, while the upstairs felt like an intimate slice of Paris. The food was incredible! It is on the menu, I highly recommend the beet gnocchi as an appetizer. My girlfriend and I had the duck breast, ora king salmon, with a side of cauliflower. Each bite left us feeling satisfied with the craving to have more . Well worth it for the experience, and the service was exceptional. I cannot wait until we eat here again!

The food was excellent, and the service was even better. Nice change to have a relatively quiet restaurant these days even though the tables were nearly all occupied. Ambience is perfect.
