Mooo is outstanding in every way (same owners), and we have friends who like Mistral so we were excited to try it. My wife and I really felt like it was a 6/10 and we’re not overly impressed with any single part of the experience. Nothing bad at all, food was fine, but nothing blew us away. Lots of other options in Boston, so we are probably are unlikely to return only because there are better spots to spend time.

The cocktails were great and at the suggestion of our server Grey we enjoyed a lovely bottle of bubbling Rose, which we enjoyed throughout our dinner. I am not a big fan of flourless chocolate cake but their’s was divine. The appetizer and flatbread portions are generous and getting a variety of dishes was fun! Grey and the whole team at Mistral was great!

We closed the night on a high note with the chocolate profiteroles filled with pistachio ice cream. You can tell a lot of care went into every detail.
