    Only problems: service was a little tough to get after the food came. And the fries aren’t very good. But the fried fish is amazing.

    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!

    I love coming here with my husband & our friends to enjoy the seafood brunch! My husband & I don't brunch often, so it seems a bit pricey to us, but we also don't drink. A few of our friends do drink & they offer bottomless mimosas, so I can see that making up for it being a bit pricey. We will be back!

    Food was delectably delicious. Beautiful presentation; extremely detailed. An explosion of flavors. King salmon was moist, yet crispy outside. Medium rare steak cooked to perfection. Even the French Press coffee was smooth and full of flavor. You just have to try it. Highly recommend!
