Mistral has been a top restaurant for many years. We were last here about 15 years ago and it was even better than we remember. Rodrigo our server was friendly knowledgeable and attentive. He helped us make some hard choices as everything is fantastic Nick the floor manager came over and welcomed us (nice touch). Hats off to the chef. My wife had the salmon with shrimp risotto (this was a modification that was not a problem at all) and I had the Osso Bucio. My only suggestion (not sure why but a lot of restaurants do this and I am James Bond old school) please serve a martini in a proper martini glass not the soft curved cupolas. That said, the martini was properly made and served with fresh stuffed blue cheese olives. Double D-licious!!! We had the European chocolate salted mousse covered in cacao nibs. Unbelievable.

From the moment we entered the door, the hosts were welcoming , prompt with our table, and offered to check our coats for comfort. The seating area to wait for your reservations was comfortable and elegant, the restaurant itself is beautifully designed and the artwork separating the bar from the tables is fabulous. Our server Leni was helpful with choices, he was attentive, and had a great passion for the cuisine and it helped with our experience . What stood out most was the GM, Nick, he greeted us, checked to see how are food was, drinks and chatted with us as we inquired about the restaurant etc. We travel and eat out often and felt the spectacular food married with exceptional service will bring us back. My gnocchi w lobster was beyond delicious and so light. The truffle mac and cheese was a nice blend of flavors with a very generous amount of shaved truffles on top..yum. Dessert: was full, but ordered profiteroles that were different than the typical puffed pastry..highly recommend. Also the mousse was rich and had a salty flare w the sea salt gently sprinkled . We will be back!
