    I am a longtime Mistral customer and remember when Chef Ben was in the kitchen making magic happen in every dish. Today’s Mistral is a far cry from Mistral a decade ago in the worst of ways. The food is *really* unremarkable and borders on being downright awful. The service was mediocre (unless we have Christian, who is a real gem and makes the experience positive). The cocktails are also hard to choke down and really aren’t as tasty as they once were. Tonight, I went to Mistral with a friend. We had a great time together, but we bonded over how awful the restaurant experience was. My Monkey’s Head cocktail was not good, the tuna tostada was bland and was missing acid, and my scallops were grotesque. They were overly salty and smelled very fishy. There were four on the plate and the texture of one was completely off. When service came to check on the experience, we said we had a rough time with the meal and only enjoyed the shrimp bao buns and glass of red wine we had. Even the s‘mores dessert left something to be desired. I am so shocked that the quality of this restaurant has gone down so drastically while the price point suggests it would be one of the more premier dining options in Princeton. I don’t plan to be back anytime soon, and not until there is R&D on new recipes, quality ingredients, balanced cocktails, and good food across the board.

    Great experience and good food. Highly recommended. I feel enjoyed when I see new dishes pop up because I know that the flavor combination will be complementary.
