    Bistro du Midi is one of our favorite restaurants in Boston, and has been for a long time.  The food, the service, and the overall atmosphere are consistently excellent. Our recent dinner there was no exception. Our table was not immediately ready, but the maitre d’ for the dining room made the wait relaxing and enjoyable. We were sitting at the bar, deciding what drinks to order while we waited and she came up and handed each of us a glass of excellent champagne and wished us a happy anniversary.  Then on the way out while we were waiting by the first floor entrance for our Uber I asked the gentlemen working at the podium just inside the door if he knew the track that was playing. He said he did not, but he immediately opened up an app on his phone, held it up towards the speaker and got me the name of the singer. All in all a great evening.
