    We loved our meal and service! Our only complaint, and the only reason we don’t come more often, is that vegan options are not listed on the menu, we’d feel more welcome if we didn’t have to ask for vegan options! The cold soba noodles and yucca poutine (made vegan) were craveable.

    Food was interesting. Flavors somewhat unexpected, but great tasting. Drinks were great. Waiter was great! Pleasant and attentive ! However our main entrées took a while, which made us rush at the end. We would not mind the wait if we were not greeted by a hostess with “ enjoy , you have until 7. As we have table reserved for someone else at that time”

    Service was not up the usual and to our expectations. The mains (medium) were served at the same time as the small plates. Our plates were removed before we were finished or able to finish boxing the food. Very underwhelming.

    Mistral is a pleasurable experience. The ambiance is very nice. Brunch was good and neither more or less expensive than most other restaurants in Princeton.

    It was ok. Service good and nice ambience. The dishes however felt heavy handed in the execution and relied on volume to bulk up unnecessarily rather than finesse of flavour. The mackerel crudo contained unpleasantly hot chillies which made my husband’s mouth go numb for a large part of the meal. In my opinion not the best value for quality within the Princeton area.

    We had a wonderful dining experience, sharing delicious and innovative plates, in the bar area of the restaurante . We were warned that our server would be the bartender. I am here to tell you that he was wonderful, attentive and amiable. In addition to his duties as bartender, he did an admirable job of tending to folks at the tables eating dinner. A real professional who understands that a restaurant is not only about the food but the overall experience and that the goal is hospitality. And it was a whole lot quieter than the dining room.
