Mistral Restaurant and Bar Reviews

The service is regularly speedy, fantastic atmosphere, very friendly staff members. I will return again when I get nearby.

Great food, nice environment. Outdoor seating is very pleasant.

Had lunch food was good and service was good. My first time and it was packed and locals were out in force which is the best endorsement.

The Bar.

My wife has always been a fan of dining at the bar. I had always been hesitant, but not because I didn't like it it was due to the fact that for several years I was fighting a "pinched nerve" and sitting at the bar was a pain in the neck (literally).

Thankfully my acupuncturist remedied that problem and am now pain free and able to sit wherever the Hell I damn well please.

Mistral's bar has recently become one of my favorite dinner spots. The bartenders here are not only some of the best, but are the most genuinely nicest people you will ever find. Tamara and the rest of the mixologist made me feel like a regular after (count 'em) just one visit. My wife and I now make frequent visits and instead of taking up space in the dining room, prefer to nestle in at the bar and visit with the bartenders and meet other interesting locals.

If you make a stop by here soon, you will be treated to a special aged blood orange bitters that will your bring your manhattan to different level of enjoyment. But if manhattans aren't your thing, there are plenty of other refreshing drinks that will be sure to put a smile on your face.

Mistral also has a large flat panel TV where you can catch up on the Giants, 49ers and Warriors or any other of your favorite sports team(s). But if you just want to sit and unwind with a glass of wine or cocktail this is the perfect place. The bartenders will take care of you and slide over the perfect drink.

Food is always fresh and seasonal. The service is excellent. Great place for business lunch and a romantic dinner. Patio with lagoon views is a great treat.

Amazing I had lunch here today with my mother, aunt and uncle for my 40th birthday. Our waitress was excellent. I had the veggie burger with piquillo peppers and avocado with garlic fries and aioli sauce. I had a grand Marnier creme brulee dessert. Suburb service, food and seating in a large screened in sunroom where you can see the lagoon. Simply amazing

Great food excellent service but, owner is a ass to his employees..

Appetizer and entree were quite good. The cocktail was definitely the best thing I had. The entrees took a long time to arrive, possibly because there was a private company dinner also taking place so the chefs were busy.

Outstanding food and service. The food is wonderfully delicious. And the staff has always been thoughtful.

Valentine's Day dinner menu. Sea scallops are my all time favorite!

This place is.....AMAZING!!!!! Highly recommend it. The staff, the service and the food were all awesome. Ambiance is perfect for the romantic evening we had planned. We started with cucumber Uzies and crab cakes. Best crab cakes of my life, seriously. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and the entire plate was very well balanced. The seasonal fish plate was, as well. (Alaskan Cod crusted in almonds). The Ghirardelli gnoche was to-die-for. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to try this place and not be impressed. If you make reservations online, request a waterfront table, it just makes dinner that much better. I wish I could give them more stars, they definitely earned it!!!! We WILL be going back soon!

Decent place on the water front at Redwood shores. Bit pricey, but decent service and food. I think one drawback is they only have 2 restrooms for all the patrons.

Upscale restaurant with nice outdoor seating, including multiple fire pits.

A vary nice restaurant. Great food and service. Recommended!

Food was excellent as was the wine. Everyone in our party of 15 enjoyed their food.

expensive for lunch, but then you get to hang with the oracle hangers on

Tasty food and drinks staff was quite friendly and attentive

Some of the best and friendliest service I've had. Food was also great

Hidden gem. Nice building tucked away in a nice area right on the water. Friendly staff, good food. Ample parking.

Fantastic skirt steak! Check out the wine cellar room for a party.

The food is under seasoned, and very few appetizers are healthy. Everything is fried, and way too oily. The salads are pretty good and fresh, and the scallops were decent but a bit chewy. Much better options are available.

Their steaks were great, although they kept bringing us wine we didn't order.

Nice place to catch up with friends without env getting too loud

Very good attention. Quiet place for a work meeting.

Excellent food and service, but the wine is a little expensive.

Overall, warm fuzzies for this place. Eat alone or as a group, delicious. Will help you out w a quick soup meal before closing. Take your time in a group dinner. I do miss the pine nuts in the house salad (a change over the years), but this place is always in my heart, since moving here almost , wow, a quarter century ago!

Ive enjoyed Mistral for over 20 years. Never had a bad meal and have had many wonderful occasions here.

Great restaurant, fanominal food, great service! And really nice people! We had a large group (16) and we were out on the patio. Had a wonderful time!

This place has good meat options but not enough vegan options
Place seems to be very busy so reserve spot in advance

Great view from the deck, nice Happy Hour drinks and food

Love the food and ambience. Great place with great food.

Good food. Great ambience. Lacks attention to detail.

Nice place to grab lunch, staff were nice and food was good

Nice, quiet place. Good food, friendly service.
Recommended!

The servers are friendly and helpful. The seating outside is safe and socially distant. The view of the canal is breathtaking. The drinks were delicious, as were the hors d'oeuvres. Their bread is delicious. DON'T ORDER THE SEAFOOD! It was way overcooked, to the point of being difficult to swallow. I would go back. I just wouldn't order fish next time.

Scottish salmon was to die for. Nice to have a place like this close by- usually we would have to go into the City for something like this

Good food and service, the fish and the pork was great, will come back soon

A favorite stop, bar and restaurant in the Redwood shores/Redwood city area.

Steak and lobster are the best! The view is amazing. It was beautiful.

Nice atmosphere and excellent service, but the filet mignon was not soft and the rest of the food was far below our expectations.

Over the top great service, excellent food and atmosphere. Doesn't get any better! Happy night!

Outdoor seating by the lake is lovely. Some delicious food choices and well stocked bar. Seating is limited so make a reservation.

Nice waterfront atmosphere. Reasonable pricing and good sized portions. A nice respite in an otherwise commercial area. I had the mahi tacos and all three tacos had a decently sized piece of fish. My partner had the shrimp salad and I have never seen so much shrimp on one plate!

Decent option if you find yourself in this weird industrial area.

I have eaten here many times and it is always very good. My wife says you can tell a good restaurant by the quality of its bread. So true. And especially here!

Very good filet mignon, but the blue cheese potato dish they served with it was amazing! Service was very good as well. Outdoor seating is comfortable and heated.

Great special occasion restaurant. Pricey but excellent food and wine.

Delightful spot for a long, conversational lunch... Or dinner!

Fantastic skirt steak, great food in general. Bread costs a bit extra, but it's worth it (only the first round of bread costs money).

We were seated on the patio with a nice view of the lagoon. I had the ahi "tataki" appetizer, nothing special, exactly what one would expect. Now the soup de jour was exceptional. A cream of asparagus soup with pistacio's, mmmm delicious. The pistacios added a nutty taste that made for a richer flavor. I then had the scallops with fingerling potatoes. Sea scallops had a nice sear on the outside. They were served with crispy artichokes over a spinach bed. Then chokes were good, but the spinach was awesome. It was very tastey. Overall a very satisfying meal.

This was an Italian restaurant. I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was tasteless. I could not even taste the butternut squash and not sure there was any filling. The sauce was bland.

Nice food presentation . Entrees are well prepared. French Onion soup could be better. Desserts are 4 not 5.

Amazing crab and shrimp sandwich during their brunch along some interesting live music.

This place has a great selection of seafood, and most of them are great. Service is good but sometimes is not as fast as I would have expected it to be.

Really enjoy the food here. Nice atmosphere and ample parking.

Usually a great restaurant, last time I was a little disapointed by the menu. The brownie wasn't good.

Excellent food and service. Nice view of the water.

Excellent quesadilla appetizer, great margarita, main course was fish was a bit dry. I'd go back.

Awesome food. Been there twice, enjoyed food both the time. A good place for team lunch.

Relaxing atmosphere, but food is hit or miss in flavor. Stick with the salads and basics, and avoid the mixed appetizer plate.

The food was impressive and it was a very nice experience for our larger party.

We had a private birthday party at the restaurant. It was perfect! Service was great, food was great, the entire experience was great!

Very nice environment! I had the skirt steak which was perfect. I will definitely return.

I enjoyed great wine and the delicious cuisines served here. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the staff are very friendly and professional.

Love the service and personal attention. The food is always amazing as well.
