So I will be reviewing the food, the service as well the atmosphere in one of the popular high-end French restaurants in the Back Bay area of Boston. I've been here for the first time last week on Valentine's day so they had the special 3 courses Prix Fixe Menu by Chef Robert Sisca, which is $95++/person. To be honest, I was expecting something more because I've seen the pictures, they look absolutely mouthwatering but the 3 courses that we had weren't that great at all... And the service was not very good too. The waitress was very polite and knowledgable. However, the wait time is a minus. I had to wait 10-15 minutes between our courses, which made us incredibly hungry in between of each waiting session.
We started off with Amuse Bouche, it's kinda like a creamy soup. This was included in the course menu and it was surprisingly the best one among all the dishes we tried. LOL!

| Amuse Bouche |
Butter Poached Lobster, Squid Ink Rice Puff, Black Truffle Potato Emulsion
The only dish that I thought was unique and delightful that night.
 |
| Lamb Tartare, Chives, Pickled Quail Egg, Black Truffle Vinaigrette |
I don't eat raw food but this tartare is edible for me, it doesn't smell like lamb anymore (which I like, cuz I can't stand the smell).
 |
| Cavatelli Pasta, Wild Boar Ragoût, Apples, Chilies, Manchego |
This thing is way too salty. FYI, I eat really salty and sour but this is a little bit too overwhelmed. If someone couldn't eat salty at all then I don't think they can finish this.
 |
| Seared Duck Breast, Chickpea Croquette, Black Olive, Almond, Blood Orange, Lavender Jus |
Seared Duck Breast (Well done) - taste exactly like duck breast lol... it doesn't have any unique taste to it...
 |
| Loup De Mer, Hearth Bread, Cockles, Tomato Confit, Shellfish-Salsa Verde |
Very light and fresh. I like the sauce and how they fried the sea bass.
 |
| Marinated Spanish Octopus, Baby Artichokes, Castelvetrano Olives, Basil It was alright, not very impressive. I like the way they decorate the dish though, it's ART. haha! |
Apple Cider SOUFFLE!!
The only thing that I've wanted to try at Bistro Du Midi. They didn't have Souffle on the menu but I did ask for it (cuz I told them I don't like the desserts they offered on the menu). It was pretty disappointing. Way too sweet and too much confectioner's sugar on top!!! It was really not a little bit sweet, it was seriously way too sweet for me, and I do eat very sweet too. Disappointing dessert... One of the worst souffles I've had in Boston! >.<
