    First time there! The service was excellent and the food was perfect! We ordered paella and enjoyed it so much! My only complaint was sitting down close to others I felt like we couldn’t talk. Seating was just too close for me.

    The standout was the good. My husband’s lamb lollipops were excellent. I had the crab corn chowder and that was delicious as well. He loved his salmon oscar and I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. Service, ambience and noise level were all great. This is a great pre-theatre restaurant.

    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!
