Best French Restaurants in Wakefield

The limited time squid ink gnocchi with lobster was amazing. The wait staff truly works as a team, timely picking up dishes and ensuring that your needs are met. They also were super knowledgeable of the menu, so much so I ventured with a gin cocktail (I hate gin) and found that the gin was just like the waiter described (well masked). 10/10

The dining room is elegant and understated. The service is both professional and personal. And the food is spectacular. Every dish is scrumptious. On this visit, we ordered 3 appetizers: the scallops--a special; crab ravioli and escargots. Each was full of flavor and perfectly sauced. For our main courses, we ordered the duck, the sirloin and the Dover sole. We each ate our own and tasted the others. We couldn't decide which was the best; each was so delicious. Even though we were beyond full, we couldn't resist a dessert. We shared the profiteroles and chocolate mousse. The former were tasty but the the mousse was a showstopper--rich and creamy with the best ever dark chocolate. Mistral offers an evening to be savored and remembered.

Outstanding food and service. Appetizer of foie gras was excellent and the magret canard with brussels sprouts and an orange sauce in a gravy boat was a perfect presentation for those who would like a choice of using the sauce. My preference has always been seared RARE duck breast served plain and thinly sliced. But this evening I did dip some of my duck into the sauce and was pleasantly surprised. My dinner partner felt her seared scallops were outstanding. My 10 year old son devoured his hamburger topped with a "ton" of melted gooey cheese and his frites were to his liking. My son and I have dined out together for 7 years and he is the perfect dinner companion with good manners and is a quiet conversationalist. I would not bring a child to Ma Maison who cannot maintain appropriate decorum that respects other diners. Two couples who shared a table next to us engaged my son in a conversation as we were leaving. At the end they brought me into the conversation and asked, "Can we take him home with us?" Of course I politely declined all the while thinking, "You could never afford him!" :-))

It was an exceptional meal we did the 7 course tasting. The only thing was they brought it way too fast! When we asked to slow down it was a lot better but we got 3 courses out of 7 ln less than 15 minutes. We will definitely be back

As always, Bistro 5 was a great choice for our annual dinner together. This is truly the best place to go if you have food allergies, etc. They are so gracious, the food is delicious with deep flavors and fresh ingredients. The service is stellar. 10 out of 10!
