We sat at the bar and had wonderful service from the bartenders. We enjoyed the sirloin carpaccio, the lambs, leaf salad, the duck and profiteroles. Everything was fabulous. I highly recommend Mistral for any occasion.

Mistral is the finest restaurant in Boston. Whether it is a special occasion or a business meeting, Mistral delivers a warm and inviting ambience, knowledgeable staff and extraordinary food. Mistral's prices have risen with the tide but continue to be a great value for 5-star food. My Boston food trail, in no particular order, Ostra for Back Bay Mediterranean seafood, Seaport Mooo for a modern steak in Fort Point, Sorellina for Italian-Mediterranean in the South end, Mooo at 15 Beacon for a breakfast or lunch meeting and Mistral for contemporary French food. Teatro is just a fond memory... To round out my personal list of Best of Boston, add Grill 23 in the Back Bay, Ga Ga Chinese seafood in Chinatown and Legal in the Seaport.

A wonderful evening. We had a terrific meal, and our server (Brian) was excellent. This is a “go to” for us for special occasions. Having said this, it is loud if you’re looking to have one conversation with everyone at your table. I’ll probably avoid going on a Saturday night with a group next time. But a very high quality restaurant in Boston.
