Mistral is the finest restaurant in Boston. Whether it is a special occasion or a business meeting, Mistral delivers a warm and inviting ambience, knowledgeable staff and extraordinary food. Mistral's prices have risen with the tide but continue to be a great value for 5-star food. My Boston food trail, in no particular order, Ostra for Back Bay Mediterranean seafood, Seaport Mooo for a modern steak in Fort Point, Sorellina for Italian-Mediterranean in the South end, Mooo at 15 Beacon for a breakfast or lunch meeting and Mistral for contemporary French food. Teatro is just a fond memory... To round out my personal list of Best of Boston, add Grill 23 in the Back Bay, Ga Ga Chinese seafood in Chinatown and Legal in the Seaport.

A wonderful evening. We had a terrific meal, and our server (Brian) was excellent. This is a “go to” for us for special occasions. Having said this, it is loud if you’re looking to have one conversation with everyone at your table. I’ll probably avoid going on a Saturday night with a group next time. But a very high quality restaurant in Boston.

Authentic French cuisine with a bit of a welcome twist. Prices are on the high side but so is the the quality. Portions are generous, which makes this is a solid combination and a great date night. Come early and enjoy an aperitif on the couches and chairs.

Great food, high price, but quite poor service. Waiter “pouring” water into our glass, long waiting time, overfilling your champagne glass etc. Disappointing for what is supposed to be a “high-end” French restaurant. Recommendation: ask your waiters to learn “l’école hôtelière” minimum standards!
