Unreal! Thanks to all the servers who made our date night special! We appreciated the guidance/knowledge from the servers about the menu and everything was delicious! We will be back

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!

This is our second Valentine's Day and Ostra and again they knocked it out of the park. My significant other left very happy. Service was classic Ostra, professional, friendly and attentive. The food is simply fantastic, elegant, fresh, expertly prepared and presented. They even asked if we had plans for after dinner, which we did, to ensure we'd be served without creating a time problem. Ostra is, hands down, our favorite Boston restaurant, and given how much we travel, it's honestly one of the best places we've been to in all of our travels.

The experience was delightful starting with the drinks very well made concoctions and the appetizers to the meals then deserts do not disappoint. Service was great and extremely professional displayed for a great Valentines dinner with my wife. Definitely worth it and the food made from scratch suits all for accommodations. The scenery with the dimmed lights and portraits throughout made for a nice setting to dine in.

Great food, service and live music. Good value too. I left my CC and the called my cell phone to let me know. Thank you!
