Very attentive kind staff. We enjoyed our appetizers French onion soup, lamb leaf salad and entrees halibut and a beef dish. They didn’t have a cocktail I requested so created one I’d like which was really tasty. The only thing we noticed is the lack of creative presentation on the cocktail and dessert. Chocolate mousse was a single scoop in a bowl like ice cream with no garnish other than Happy Anniversary written on a plate below the bowl. Both really needed something more.

As always food was excellent all around but our service was so slow. Took forever to take our order but then first and main course were not too delayed. Clearing our plates and desert ordering then took too long.

We were delayed due to a snowstorm and called several times. Our table was held and we were graciously met and seated at a beautiful table in the corner of the lovely lounge area. Mellisa our server knew the menu inside and out and had a wonderful personality! Just a fabulous experience. Thank you. Your hospitality made waiting for our daughter’s delayed fight a lovely experience. ♥️🎄♥️

Likely the best meal that I have had all year. Superb service by Edwin. He arranged a car for us after dinner to go to the ballet. Food was outstanding. I used to be a regular here 1997-2000, then relocated to the west coast. It is great to come back and find Mistral better than ever. Thanks!
