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.

The service was warm and welcoming - just spectacular - yet unobtrusive. The food was delicious and unique. It was a perfect meal in all respects.

They didn’t have a cocktail I requested so created one I’d like which was really tasty. The only thing we noticed is the lack of creative presentation on the cocktail and dessert. Chocolate mousse was a single scoop in a bowl like ice cream with no garnish other than Happy Anniversary written on a plate below the bowl. Both really needed something more.
