Great food—appreciate the updated menu. Nice to see new items added. Food quality is always excellent—fresh and delicious. Nice presentation too. Service was very good and waitress handled an allergy request very well (to ensure our guest with a seafood allergy did not order food fried in the same oil as the calamari.). Thank you! Staff seems a bit stretched so ensure you have time.

Nice place for a friends or family brunch. Very cozy and you're not rushed. Bruch menu and cocktails are great. Ambiance is just active enough where you can have fun and still hear each other talk. Highly recommend.

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!
