Wonderful Valentine’s dinner and eating in the heated outdoor terrace was perfect since noise was lower and it was really warm. Only negative was that they were too efficient with courses as we got to dessert within an hour of seating. They didn’t rush us however and enjoyed another 45 mins with coffee and wonderful discussion.

Valentine’s Day menu was delicious. Any wait to go back and order from their regular menu. Every bite was delicious.

Have been to Mistral many times and it’s always A+ across the board. Valentine’s Day was no exception: absolutely perfect. Price fix meal, 3 courses. I had potato leek, onion, sourdough crouton dill soup, crab agnolotti, chocolate bundini. Husband had kale salad, lamb shank, key lime pie. Everthing was great as were our cocktails. The bundini with thyme (who would come up with that?) was delicious and worth every carb. Thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful celebration dinner!

I usually have a great experience at Mistral; however, this time I am not sure why there was not careful consideration of dietary restrictions. I made it a point to let my server know that I do not eat pork and to ensure that they understood to see that there were no pork products in my food. I raised this several times but upon receiving my main I noticed there was pork in it. The server got me a new dish and apologized however even with the amount of caution up front about this concern I am surprised it happened. Other than that I must mention the wings are inconsistent each time. Sometimes they are good and other times made poorly. There is no consistency of how we will get them. Sometimes there is flavor garnish and sauce and other times just sauce in the bottom. It really messes with the hype and experience when wanting this dish.

Love Mistral. The energy is warm and busy in a welcoming way. The food is delicious- I always leave with a favorite taste memory, something I want to have again. Tables of families, couples, friends- laughing, talking with their hands, obviously enjoying an experience. Kitchen open, fun to watch. I appreciate the staff's professionalism, but I'm happy to be enjoying the results on the other side of the counter! Imperfectly perfect, Mistral is a lovely choice.
