    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the noise level in our dining room affected your experience. Mistral has always been known for its vibrant and energetic atmosphere throughout our twenty-eight years of service. For a quieter dining experience, we recommend making an earlier reservation, particularly on Sunday or Monday evenings, which tend to be more relaxed. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more enjoyable visit.

    I'm not sure if the kitchen was having an off night or if it was because I arrived towards the end of the evening when the kitchen was getting ready to close around 9pm but some of the food was not prepared correctly. Both the duck and the Dover sole were overcooked and barely edible for this type of fine dining establishment. The cocktails were phenomenal, as was the beef Carpaccio appetizer and the dessert. I'll give them another chance in the future and hopefully the entrees will be better.

    Every time we’re in Boston, we make it a point to die in at our favorite restaurant, Mistral. The dining room is exquisitely appointed with beautiful lighting, perfectly designed to entice you visually as well as gastronomically. My usual go to are the foie gras parfait and my partner has either the Caesar salad or French onion soup with a puff pastry dome. This time I decided to try the appetizer special, which was a salmon tartare. It was refreshingly delightful!!! it had an avocado moose base topped with silky salmon, sesame seeds, combined with a delectable Asian vinaigrette. Our entree’s included the roasted half duck with a cranberry gastrique and wild mushroom risotto as well as the roasted salmon with parsnip purée. We finished our meal sharing the very popular profiteroles. As usual, they were delicious!
