The food here was excellent first off- no disputing that. We were in what seemed like an annex room though that seemed somewhat barren or perhaps unfinished decor-wise. As a large group we were broken into two parties next to each other, younger and older basically. The younger group had a great time and a waiter who really engaged with... More

We have been enjoying this restaurant and it's predecessor for over twenty five years. The food is always excellent as is the service. The menu chnages fairly often and will typically offer seasonal specialities such as venison. The staff is well trained and understands the importance of their role in complimenting the dining experience. When you call for reservations ask... More

This place was recommended by the owners of the inn we stayed at. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere, but once inside, you'll find a cozy and romantic spot. We got a table by the window which has a lovely view and makes you feel as though you are in the woods. Nice dim lighting. We ordered... More

We went to Mistral's to celebrate my birthday. I found this place to be everything I expected and then some... Great service, great food, and intimate atmosphere made for a memorable birthday dinner. We had a table overlooking the creek behind the house that was lighted after dark - a very picturesque setting. The food was superb. The chef-made duck... More

Went for dinner and sat by the window - what a beautiful view...but the service left so much to be desired. The waiter was obviously in alot of discomfort from some ailment and thus our service was poor. good thing the food was good More

Over the years I've eaten here time and again with family and with friends. Each and every time it has been wonderful. This is a former toll house set along a country road just of Route 11/30. The dining rooms are lovely and best are the tables in the dining rooms along the river, which is lighted at night providing... More

The chateaubriand for two is fabulous! I highly recommend it. Also ask for a seat table by the window for the best experience. More

Our second visit to Mistral's did not disappoint. Different season, different view, different menu, same impeccable service and outstanding food. Grilled shrimp appetizer with "crispy capers" was to die for. I could have eaten a serving of just the perfectly crunchy capers. Main course salmon and roast duckling were perfect. Shared a delicious, generous sized creme brulee for dessert. Again,... More
