Mistral is a Boston treasure. Timeless. The food was always fabulous but even better now. New Vibe. We dined on a beautiful snowy night. Really great experience. We have dined probably 50 times in last 25 years. Better than ever

Food and service were spectacular. Although there was a Saturday evening crowd the atmosphere was relaxed and we never felt rushed. Our server, Brian, managed to be attentive without being fussy. Appetizers and entrees were beautifully prepared and served. The roast duck with risotto and the branzini were standouts. Mistral has kept its high standards for nearly 30 years.

Great food, but for a restaurant that’s been around this long there’s just nothing for someone that’s into wine. Great producers in the list, but all too young and undrinkable vintages for the most part. Red wine is basically off the table. Even if you wanted to pay $5k for a bottle of DRC you wouldn’t find one that’s ready to open. What has the som been up to for the past 20 years? That said, beautiful dining room and great service. Food is on point. Drink champagne and cocktails though.

Mistral is one of the last formal French restaurants in Boston. Cloth table cloths combined with attentive service and excellent food and drinks completes the great experience.

I dont go to fancy restaurants as often as I should. It makes me nervous but it was for me and my wife’s Valentines dinner date I had planned a month in advance. We went there and everything was perfect. The servers were kind and helped us with what we needed. It was definitely a memory that will last a lifetime that I am thankful for. The food was all cooked perfectly and I couldnt find anything to complain about even if I tried.

The high top tables were too close to each other, I don't want to hear other people's conversation. It was very hard to get in and out of my sit without almost knocking over another tables drinks. If they had one less 2 top table it would be perfect.
