| - I've walked past this place many times without the urge to go in, but my roommate invited me to try the Winterlicious menu with her and I regret a little for not trying this place earlier. Maybe it's because I went with low expectation but whatever expectation I had, Midi has blown it out of the water.
Their food is delicious with large portion size. We started with the Cassolette d'Escargots and Salade Midi. The Escargots won out this round; it was perfectly seasoned and perfectly creamy. I wish they gave a few more slices of bread to soak up all that soup. The salad was good, and loaded with plenty of cheese, but not as exciting.
Second round we ordered the Seafood Pasta and the Lamb Shank. This one I would say was a tie, both thoroughly enjoyable. The pasta was loaded with seafood and the sauce is rich with flavor. The lamb shank is very tender, delicious with the sauce and mashed potato. I wasn't expecting to taste the cinnamon with the beets served with the lamb, not too bad but not how I'd prefer them.
Round three, desserts were nice little end notes to the meal. The creme bulee had the distinct cardamom flavor with crunchy layer of hard caramel. The profiteroles were smothered in sugary chocolate sauce. We were both completely stuffed at this point.
We reserved for 6pm on a Tuesday and the bistro was not too busy. All the food came out pretty quickly one after the other so we didn't really have time to digest before the next course was served. The chairs, tables, and decor could use a little revamping and a little bit more space between the tables would be appreciated. The serve staff were pretty friendly, no complaints there.
