    Our meal was outstanding, as always. At Mistral, my husband and I always share what we order. Today, we especially enjoyed the Crispy Salmon Bites and the Grilled Radicchio Salad. Everything was delicious including my cocktail, the “Louisiana Purchase.” Yum!

    Our Christmas dinner was a delightful surprise. The restaurant served their regular menu, and every dish was a culinary triumph. We started with a flavorful lamb soup and a refreshing kale and pumpkin salad. The highlight was the shrimp bake—a generous portion of succulent shrimp and mushrooms, minimally breaded, which was a pleasant departure from expectations. The lamb shank was tender and satisfying, though a bit understated in terms of seasoning. However, it was still delicious. For dessert, we indulged in baklava, a new experience for us. It was rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious. We can't wait to return and savor these dishes again.
