I heard about Mistral yrs ago and was looking forward to my Valentines dinner there this past Friday. The ambience was nice although a bit cold in the patio. Service was excellent but I was disappointed in the duck confit which was recommended by my waiter (dry and rather bland). However, my wife enjoyed the Branzino and the burrata w/ vinaigrette so overall a good experience.

Our first time at this restaurant and will definitely be back! The food was excellent, service and ambiance top notch. Tried John Dory for the first time which was delicious and what’s a good French meal without chocolate soufflé! Fantastic night out!

John Dory was cooked perfectly; flakey, moist, and as fresh as you can get. Service is always impeccable here.
