    The dining room is elegant and understated. The service is both professional and personal. And the food is spectacular. Every dish is scrumptious. On this visit, we ordered 3 appetizers: the scallops--a special; crab ravioli and escargots. Each was full of flavor and perfectly sauced. For our main courses, we ordered the duck, the sirloin and the Dover sole. We each ate our own and tasted the others. We couldn't decide which was the best; each was so delicious. Even though we were beyond full, we couldn't resist a dessert. We shared the profiteroles and chocolate mousse. The former were tasty but the the mousse was a showstopper--rich and creamy with the best ever dark chocolate. Mistral offers an evening to be savored and remembered.
