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

    We had a very good experience here. The restaurant is at the end of the pier, with a wonderful view of Boston. Our server, Ilse, was extremely nice, funny, and did a great job. Food was very good.

    Beautiful view, good menu, but really upsetting service. Made a reservation in advance for a special occasion (made a note in the res), and got all spiffed up. We were sat at a table right by the door, under a harsh street lamp. I've sat at tables by the bathroom or kitchen before but it was a special dinner, a quiet, rainy night and an early reservation time, so I requested another table. We were told the other tables were reserved for larger parties, but a party of 2 were already sitting in one booth, and another couple sat at one of the tables after us. Just a really disheartening experience where we felt like bottom rung customers. Left after a drink and went somewhere else that felt welcoming.

    First time at Mida and we cannot wait to return - Gunner, our server, was patient and knowledgeable and helped us choose a wine we would like. The insalata misto was unique and delicious, the cacio pepe with buccatini peppery and tasty and the bolognese was so incredible we finished the entire plate. The view from the restaurant in East Boston is also fabulous - Highly recommend

    Mida is always the right choice. Cannot rave enough about the food - they know how to do very traditional, well known pastas better than anyone. Lots of flavor and their own unique flair on the dishes, the pastas are a stand out. But definitely have to try the duck wings (if they have them!), the carrots and the insalata mista (simple but fresh, incredible flavor and texture)! Not to mention the staff is so welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and make for a really relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.

    Pasta was terrible (carbonara was overpowered by lemon and was borderline not eatable, gnocchi tasted under cooked). Pizza was better than the pasta. Ambience and view was awesome. Overpriced and overrated for what it seemed like going into it. A catfish if you will
