I truly don't understand the poor ratings for this place lately–this is one of the very few places I've returned to over and over again and have had consistent stellar service!
Patrick is a wonderful, wonderful host (I'm not sure if he's a server or manager or host, to be honest, because he has either served or responded to our questions the past few times I've been here). He has always given great attention to my group whenever I've dined here. He's quick to suggest wine to go with the meal, a new cocktail to try, a dessert worth tasting.
To explain why I'm updating my 5 star review: there was a very SLIGHT snafu with our main last night. The situation was quickly amended, and Patrick went above and beyond to better our dining experience last night. The people managing this restaurant truly care that you have an excellent experience–I'd imagine those that give this restaurant a 1 star rating are likely rude guests. A little manners and a polite tone can get you a long way. Ryan was our server last night and was very mindful to allow my friend and I to chat as long as we wanted, yet checked in with us and kept our water glasses full. After several visits to this restaurant, this is the first that anything has gone *wrong*, but it was quickly amended.
I will continue to come back to this restaurant. It's staffed with nothing less than friendly, welcoming people, and the food is superb every time.
This was a cute little spot that I came across while walking around the city…I walked in and saw that they had a Crab Cake benedict and I was sold…the hollandaise sauce was excellent, crab cake was perfectly made and seasoned and the portion size was just right!!
I tried my friends salmon benedict and I found the salmon to be very salty…not a fan of that, but I'd highly suggest the crab cake benedict!!
3 course pre fix meal- $ 25.95.
Happy Hour- wine $ 6 per glass or $ 24 for the bottle.
The times that I been here, they always had the 3 course pre fix meal option. I am not sure whether it is part of their standard menu or promo. The 3 course pre fix meal is from 5-6:30 and it's Monday-Saturday. Pretty good deal when dinning early. Nevertheless, 3 course me up! Once you go 3 courses, it's a hard habit to stop. I am starting to develop expensive taste. My bank account and credit score are not happy with me. bye bye 800+ club.
This place is generally not crowded. Ideal place for a date night or dinner with friends. The staff does a great job of spacing people out so nobody is overhearing your conversation. I am not sure whether everybody spoke french, but I wasn't totally sold on their french accent. Since I speak 0 french, you have to hear for yourself. The decor is minimal- nothing stood out to me. In terms of restroom- the big one is way better than the small one.
Okay- back to the food. I had the soup of the day- it was like a curry soup. It was tasty but it was lacking salt. Then I ordered the roasted salmon w/ potato puree with ratatouille. The salmon was delicious and it had a good crust. Salmon was cooked perfectly medium. The potato puree needed salt. The ratatouille didn't stand out- it went okay with the meal. Then I had a chocolate for dessert. The pros- portions are pretty big. Some of the food items were cooked very well and tasty. The cons- some items were underseasoned/un salted. There was potential for a speculator meal, but it felt short. I would consider Le Midi a valued 3 course meal. It's good to the point that everybody will enjoy it, but it wouldn't make a lasting memory.
Great bloody mary and a juicy burger accompanied with quality fries! Definitely worth the price. Loved the ambience and great service too!!! Great way to escape the sunday brunch crowd.
A little split minded on this one
The Good
Great location, HUUUUUUGE space, which means you usually don't have to wait for a table,
attentive services
The Bad
Kinda touristy vibe… I don't know… it's a pretty lofty space but the restaurant is aiming for a French bistro/ vintage kind of feel… yeah go figure!
The ugly
I had a super tasty nicoise salad for brunch, BUT..
…
…
Uhm, ok at the risk of publicacly embarassing myself in the yelp-sphere, I had to admit I had a really really bad food poisoning later that day….
Go figure…
There were a handful of people here on a Saturday.We sat at the bar. Our bartender was helpful and the Paris Manhattan went down very smoothly. I was surprised this place wasn't packed. This place was near a flim screening we were attending around the corner.
The cheese plate was a good starter, nothing spectacular, but the Roquefort was on point. I will definitely be back for the steak frites. The fries did not need ketchup and the the steak was seared to perfection. I liked that they let me cut it myself…mmmm, the sauce. $30 per entrée and cocktails are in the $12-$14 range, wines by the glass $9-$11. This place was in the diner's deck so I saved $10 bucks. Looks like they have great happy hour specials and pre fixe menu if you are able to get here for early dinner. I sampled my friend's scallops with cauliflower. That was tasty as well. Definitely worth a try.
Very cute french spot. Cosy and romantic. Came here on a Tuesday in late June and the place was mostly empty and kinda quiet. Service was phenomenal! Very attentive waiter with excellent knowledge of the menu, specials and drinks as well as being absolutely hilarious!
I tried the Risotto du Jour which a delicious risotto with mushrooms and rabbit! Fabulous! Risotto was perfect and the rabbit was surprisingly tasty! (Sorry Bugs Bunny my old friend!) My side was the Roasted Brussel sprouts which, honestly were the best I have ever had at a restaurant (and I'm one of those weirdos that actually enjoy Brussel sprouts). Definitely a place to try. Apparently they also have a really good pre-fixe menu!
I have mentioned in past reviews that one of the measures I have for a solid spot is if I have or would go back. Le Midi definitely meets that criteria.
The food is simple but well done.
It is a good go-to spot to keep on the list for if you are looking for somewhere to grab a meal close to union square.
