- JJOHNCalifornia Central Coast •68 reviews4.0Dined on 16 Nov 2024We had a pleasant evening at Mistral’s. It mostly seemed like a well oiled machine. The menu is creative with varied choices. We liked the onion soup and caesar salad. The crab cakes drew positive comments; less so the surf and turf which included a chewy sirloin turf. Service was friendly and attentive.More infoMistral Restaurant & Bar - Redwood CityPrice: Moderate• Californian• Redwood City•4.4
