    The new additions to the menu are very appealing. We sampled several and were impressed with the flavors and presentation of each. Our favorites were the tuna tostadas, shrimp bao buns, crab bites, tempura mushrooms and especially the grilled kale salad! Mistral remains one of the best and most creative restaurants in Princeton region. Also, the wine list is excellent and very reasonably priced,

    The most memorable part of the experience was when called to confirm reservation, I was asked if anyone in the party had any food restrictions or allergies. This was the first time asked this before arriving at a restaurant.

    Food was excellent. Service was good but I feel like they were understaffed. Either someone called in sick or they didn’t schedule enough. Things were a bit delayed, but not egregiously. Would done here again for sure.

    Sitting outside on a beautiful evening. I love the tables on the sidewalk. Food was not good and service disappointing. Our table was super wobbly and multiple servers walked by while we’re were trying to remedy the situation but none offered any help. One of our party ordered from the Elements menu and their entree was served 10 minutes before anyone else’s.

    Super disappointing. I used to eat at Mistral frequently around 2018 when I was a chef in the area and always loved it. I’ve been singing its praises since then, but it was nothing like it used to be. I started off with an oyster shell getting stuck in my gum, the server was very sweet and apologetic but her manager refused to take the rest of the oysters off the bill. The rest of the food was desperately under-salted, sauces were broken, and the steak still had some of the silver skin left on. Simply not good food, nowhere near as good as it used to be. I was there celebrating my mom’s birthday and we didn’t even get dessert. Definitely won’t be back.

    We had eaten as Mistral before and very much enjoyed it. We made a reservation for graduation weekend and were not told it would be a limited prix fixe menu. I had to provide a credit card number upon making the reservation and agree that it could not be cancelled. The menu was 3 courses, each consisting of about 4 choices. I had specified that there was a vegetarian in our party, and the only main course available to her was some kind of deep fried mushroom. We asked if we could get two starters instead of the main but were told that was not possible. The (lovely) waitress also told us that other people had requested two starters, which makes me question their choice of main courses. All in all, not the experience I had hoped for.
