Our dining at Mistral was one of the best experiences we have had in Boston in over 50 years. The service was warm and welcoming - just spectacular - yet unobtrusive. The food was delicious and unique. It was a perfect meal in all respects.

Our waitress was incredible and was very helpful in choosing options for my wife with celiac. She also recommended a gluten free bakery in the area for us to try. Food is always great here every time we come and we will definitely be back.

My husband took me to the chestnut hill location for my bday and our food was amazing. Since we had family in town for the holidays, we decided to go to the Tremont st location. It did not disappoint. The escargot were as good as any I had in Paris, a lot of flavor. We also got the French onion soup which was delicious and fitting for a cold Boston evening. Lotsssss of cheese! Our entree was a duck and mushroom risotto that they split for us- also very good. We will definitely be back but probably for special occasions as it is on the expensive side.
