Best Waterfront Restaurants in Portola Valley

Great addition to Redwood City. Great food in a fantastic setting, especially if the weather cooperates for sitting outside.

We had a pleasant evening at Mistral’s. It mostly seemed like a well oiled machine. The menu is creative with varied choices. We liked the onion soup and caesar salad. The crab cakes drew positive comments; less so the surf and turf which included a chewy sirloin turf. Service was friendly and attentive.

It’s a very nice place. Good menu. Very good service but I’ve been twice and the place is empty. Today there was only one other table occupied. Maybe a good review will help.

This whole experience was amazing! Our waitress that just moved to the Bay from AZ, completely stunning and so amazing while taking care of your table. I will for sure be back. If you happen to see this note, please share my message to the young lady. 

Our server was very kind and considerate so without us even asking, he saw our 2 kids and got us 2 ketchups for our 1 order of truffle parmesan fries without our even asking! We came on a Monday so it was pretty quiet. Ambiance in the back where we say was definitely the look of a hotel lobby where you get your breakfast because it’s part of the package. But the food itself was tasty! I’d get take out or eat at the bar, but not sit in the back. We would have done outdoor patio but it was windy.
