MIDA by Chef Douglass William's is now open on East Boston's waterfront. Our James Beard Nominated restaurant group is situated directly on the edge of the pier with panoramic views of the downtown Boston Skyline. The restaurant is surrounded by the water on three sides with a massive patio that is perfect for date night and large groups at all hours of the day. Vaulted ceilings, sprawling windows, and a gorgeous lighting profile make this location the perfect destination for all occasions. MIDA East Boston also features a 25 seat bar that is open for walk-ins seven days a week. We are thrilled to be a part of this neighborhood and cannot wait to welcome you into our home. XOXO MIDA

The stunning interior and exterior views are matched by the wonderful food! We began with meatballs, mussels and perfect Manhattans. Our meal continued to soar from there. Here’s a place entirely deserving of its James Beard 2025 nomination!

Reservation was for Valentine’s Day. Overall, the waiter was great and the ambiance was wonderful. Food was not as I expected due to a limited menu which we were not aware of. Would return but for their regular menu.

I had the BEST time at MIDA in East Boston! The food was unbelievable and so was the restaurant and staff. And the view was amazing! My family is mostly vegetarian, and we were really really happy about the options and quality of the vegetarian food at the restaurant. Thank you MIDA!
