    I have been here 2 or 3 dozen times over the years. The food is consistently delicious. The menu varied enough between two people whose tastes range from Steak / Fries to uber clean fish preparations. The service staff has been supberb. Never an issue no matter who is covering the table. We always prefer the table by the window. Excellent selection of wines. A little pricey butthese days everything is, and you deserve this!

    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!

    Everything was excellent the moment we walked into the restaurant! Our waitress, Lexi, could not have been better! She was genuinely enthusiastic and made fantastic suggestions. We started with the octopus and BBQ shrimp and then moved on to our entrees: Swordsfish, Cod special, almond crusted flounder and the seafood risotto. This place is a gem and we will be back! This was the best restaurant experience we have had in a very long time. 10/10
