    The standout was the good. My husband’s lamb lollipops were excellent. I had the crab corn chowder and that was delicious as well. He loved his salmon oscar and I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. Service, ambience and noise level were all great. This is a great pre-theatre restaurant.

    Have been to Mistral many times and it’s always A+ across the board. Valentine’s Day was no exception: absolutely perfect. Price fix meal, 3 courses. I had potato leek, onion, sourdough crouton dill soup, crab agnolotti, chocolate bundini. Husband had kale salad, lamb shank, key lime pie. Everthing was great as were our cocktails. The bundini with thyme (who would come up with that?) was delicious and worth every carb. Thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful celebration dinner!

    This was our first visit to Ficus. Great atmosphere as soon as you go up the stairs to the main part of the dining room. I was with 3 friends, all of us thoroughly loved our evening. The waitress was adorable and sweet. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp dumplings! We all had a different entree: Fettuccine Alfredo, Bolognese, Honey Miso Salmon and vegetable medley. We all loved our meals. We ended the evening trying 3 of the desserts— a MUST! All the desserts are made in house. They are divine! Chocolate Cake, Creme Brûlée and Yuzu Sorbet with fresh fruit….delicious and a perfect ending to our evening. Highly recommend this gem!
