Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Charlestown

Bistro du Midi is a wonderfully intimate restaurant with phenomenal food, drinks, and staff. We arrived on time for our reservation and were notified they were running behind but that they would collect us if we sat at the bar. The bartender was kind and attentive and as time passed, we were gently invited back to be seated and allowed time to finish our drinks. We ordered the Valentine’s Day menu, a choice selection through 5 courses. All of the options were phenomenal, we started with a small soup (tea cup sized) which we had anticipated for a larger tasting menu, but by course 3 we were hitting the wall! Portions were outstanding just small enough to be able to finish the next dish but large enough to feel very full by the end! We also ordered the cocktails oui chef, a lemon flavored cocktail and (please forgive me I forgot the name) a smoky combination of mezcal and cognac. Both of which were outstanding! Overall, we felt very satisfied! Being a big event for us we felt that the splurge was worth it, however, candidly it was a *very* large splurge so be prepared!

The food and the place was very good! But the service was on the slow side. Yes I know it was Valentines day but we noticed our waitress went to other tables after us and they got their food/drinks before us. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks and 50 to get our oysters as an appetizer. Once we put in our food it went smoothly. It wasn’t the ideal night.

Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Always a favorite, I brought my friend here for the first time to celebrate her birthday before attending a concert and it didn’t disappoint. We had a wonderful server, the food was fast and delicious, the value was great and they gained a new fan in my friend. A great spot for a weeknight outing with friends or special event.

Excellent food. Comfortable pleasant atmosphere. Friendly efficient service. Totally worth the cost!
