Came here with family. Ordered two types of steak, Angus and New York strip, and both were exquisitely prepared. Alaskan halibut was fabulous too.

Food was good, although the description in the menu left out that there was gorgonzola in the gratin, which was way too overwhelming and if I had known I would have chosen something else. Service was ok, but not great, but it was busy at new year's eve. Unfortunately they added themselves a 20% tip automatically to the bill and a gratuity tax and another 5% health tax that was not announced anywhere beforehand which feels highly disingenuous and leaves a bad aftertaste to the dining experience.

Fabulous New Years Eve! Prie Fix menu had many fabulous options. Live dinner music added an elegant touch. The service was excellent given the high volume of guests. I highly recommend this venue.

Service is great, they were not able to accommodate our reservation request and sit us behind the receptionist right in front of the main door, super cold because of the wind. Taste of food is not what we expected as Italian cuisine, and I love Italian cuisine so been to a lot of them (including fusion with other culture) service is great. Our server Sal is very friendly and charming but overall food is not. We are disappointed.

We had a pleasant evening at Mistral’s. It mostly seemed like a well oiled machine. The menu is creative with varied choices. We liked the onion soup and caesar salad. The crab cakes drew positive comments; less so the surf and turf which included a chewy sirloin turf. Service was friendly and attentive.

Mistral comes through again for a large dinner party. All of the food was delicious, service was great, and our table next to the fire was appreciated. I will keep going back to Mistral for family events, they are good folks to deal with and quality of their food is consistent. Thank you to the staff and chef!

I HATE the restaurants in San Mateo that add a service charge for employee benefits they should pay. I'll never be back. 👎👎

Food was outstanding. Everyone loved it. The Fish was outstanding, Ravioli and Paella fresh and light, great steaks, Schnitzl not like in Austria but good taste, delicious desserts and cocktails… Great place to catch up with friends or for business dinner. Outside is on the noisier side but inside was perfect to communicate.

Excellent meal with friends! Service a bit inconsistent but well-intentioned. We have returned to Mistral several times after many years away, and glad to be back. Tasty cocktails, nice variety in the menu and fun seasonal specials!!
