Mistral is one of the great Boston restaurants where you can count on a high standard of excellence whenever you go there. Food is always perfectly prepared and delicious. Service is uniformly outstanding. It can get loud as the evening gets later and the dining room fills up, but if you opt to go before 8 pm it is always marvelous.
