    Excellent cocktails and food— the 3 of us all really enjoyed our entrees— rack of lamb, halibut ( both were specials) and scallops & prawns with risotto. I asked for my halibut to be switched out from saffron rice to risotto, which they happily did and it was scrumptious. We shared the dessert special of a modified “banana split” (very rare item for us to choose!) and it was delish! Ambience is lovely—festive yet tranquil, in that this place is tucked away in a corner or Redwood Shores, in a small mall next door to a dry-cleaners, but facing the lagoon/water!! — You would never find it unless you knew it was there. Service was good but for the one mistake they made, which they apologized for and corrected the bill! Will return again in the near future!

    I hadn't been here in a minute. I was happy to say the food and the service were as good as I remember. Manager was friendly, water was filled we were checked on. It was nice to change it up with lots of parking and a wonderful dinner

    The poached pear salad and the cocktails were the highlights. The surf and turf steak was grissly and the squash ravioli was over sweet with not enough contrast in flavors. The place is interesting and unassuming. It’s in a sort of business park and the view of any water is obstructed by a somewhat opaque plastic. The bar area looked fun and the service was very attentive and paced well.

    Starting off with a very sour Cosmo it kind of went downhill. I ordered a glass of cab instead. They charged me for BOTH when I got the bill! My Caesar salad was bland (not much dressing!) and lettuce was old! My beef bouguignon was warm but overcooked. Our bread pudding was the high light of the dinner! Our server was unsure of everything…maybe his first night? Will we return? Not sure!

    This is one of our favorite places for dinner but the steak we ordered was virtually raw and had to be reheated. The cut of the meat was tough when it returned to the table.

    We had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day at Mistral - we hadn't been in years and just live down the street. The prix fixe menu was lovely, and there was plenty of choice for us. Food was all well-prepared - I especially enjoyed my lobster risotto, and my husband especially enjoyed his poached pear salad. The service was lovely, too, and we really loved sitting out on the patio by the fireplace and under the heat lamps. Our only comment is that we still find the price to be a bit high. But we still enjoyed ourselves!

    Food was tasty but my husband's lamb shank came out cold and the temperature of my risotto was uneven. Also, several of our dishes came out after the table next to us who were seated and ordered after us. We waited a very long time between dishes. The server and manager were apologetic about the food and compensated some of the bill. Hopefully, it was just a one time thing.

    First time here. The host (sorry, didn't get his name) was excellent! He sat us and also was our server for most of the meal. I would say the food is good, but not amazing. Although, my halibut with the lobster bisque sauce was perfection, the pizza was a little flavorless and the dough wasn't that appealing. And I don't think the menu described the risotto having squid ink sauce on it. I would have not liked it if I ordered that dish not knowing that, but my guests enjoyed their food even though they pined for my dish! Will definitely return to try other seafood on the menu.
