The filet mignon is unbelievable. About the best I've ever had. But the sides--not so good. They don't fluff the baked potato before adding toppings so everything just melts off. The Izzy potatoes are a mess--greasy and unappetizing. Ask for a naked baked potato and a steak and you'll have an amazing meal!

went here for thanksgiving dinner. seated immediately. the menu was smaller but ticked all the boxes for anyone wanting either a traditional thanksgiving turkey dinner or their more popular offerings. we opted for ribeye and chicken parmesan as our entrees and house salad and butternut squash soup as appetizers/starters. excellent service, prompt. the food was great. reasonably priced--we got out of there at around $167 before tip. would definitely return.

We went here two days in a row - It was THAT GOOD! We had a party of 8 the first day and went back with just 2 for a second time Wait staff was great both times. Portions are generous and staff is attentive. Variety is wide with something for every taste. Pizzas are incredibly fresh, crispy and loaded with toppings. Chicken was unbelievably moist with a crispy skin. Wine selection is considerable. Deserts are also wonderful! Ambience is comfortable, but active and the area is worth walking around. OUTSTANDING in every way. This will be my "goto" whenever I'm in the area.

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.
