Mistral Restaurant And Bar

The restaurant is pretty. It's on the water and has a pleasant outdoor area. Service was very good with attentive but unobtrusive waitstaff. Sadly, the food was pretty mediocre. None of the dishes our group had were terrible; they just were not especially flavorful.

Billed in other reviews as the best restaurant in Redwood. Putting aside the fact the competition isn 't major I wouldn 't argue. The place is efficiently managed and the staff are attentive. I ordered the rack of lamb, but after taking my order I was informed it 'wouldn 't arrive until tomorrow '. As I didn 't bring my sleeping bag, I chose the double pork chop instead. Roast pork can be bland, and this was, having just been cooked in what I believe was barbecue sauce. And it was tough, which isn 't surprising as normal thickness pork chops can be tough if they 're rush cooked. I prefer them cooked in fine oil and a few herbs, and maybe a little apple sauce or cider, and apple sauce on the side. But I never allowed a chop to spoil my enjoyment of the place, as part of a large business meal.

Quite literally one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. This is a must visit if you’re near Redwood Shores!

A truly great dining experience. Very nice atmosphere, not too loud, fine music. Jaques, our server, was always on top of things, but never rushing did was great. Grilled octopus, scallops and gulf shrimp, Phyllis wrapped salmon, and Bailey's bread pudding. A perfect evening. Thanks, Mistral

Great food and atmosphere. One of my new favorites. Must try the Bacon Bourbon.
