Mistral Restaurant and Bar

First of all I should say they charge 5% extra for the employee's health. And they call it San Mateo mandatory. People are not happy with that , some people don't want to pay the waiters or waitresses the tip but that is not their fault. The food was good. We had steak and seafood fettuccine. The patio is very hot, with two fireplaces nice but is very hot . They have heaters all over the patio. We spent $150 with tips. We asked our waitress Arita to turn off the heater on top of us

Everything about this restaurant was a great experience. The place was clean, and our waiter was awesome. The staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed my grilled New Year steak 12 oz. Try it out, you won't regret it! We also had dessert, and that was really good as well. It's called warm bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. I recommend making a reservation.

This place is super cute! It's right next to the water, so if you eat on the terrace you have a lovely view. The wait staff were helpful and fun and the food was good, although sweeter than I had expected.

This restaurant was Amazing they had live performances and great food and great customer service. I went on valentines it was worth dining in the service was good. The appetizers presentation was cute with the heart. The cheesecake for dessert tasted so fresh.

Adjacent to the former Oracle headquarters in Redwood Shores, Mistral Restaurant and Bar emerges as a concealed culinary gem. Mistral, a charming waterfront establishment, offers an exceptional array of creative dining options, encompassing steak, lamb, and seafood. Their Paella stands as a culinary masterpiece that must be savored. Their French Onion soup and octopus salad are unparalleled. The establishment also boasts an extensive wine list and a diverse selection of cocktails. Notable among these are the espresso martini and the bacon old fashioned. The espresso martini is an exceptional experience, surpassing any I have had previously. The bartenders, Antonio, Mike, and Britney, are exceptional individuals who have cultivated a profound passion for their craft. Engaging in a conversation with Antonio was an enriching experience, as he shared his extensive knowledge and expertise in wines and whiskey. Antonio’s deep understanding of the subject matter was truly impressive. Despite the presence of other establishments, Mistral provides a unique sense of belonging. Upon entering the establishment, guests are greeted by Gin. Gin consistently ensures that patrons are well-cared for. This provided a welcome respite after a challenging week, and I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with individuals like Antonio, Mike, Gin, Britney, and all their staff. Their dedication to their craft and genuine interest in their customers have garnered them a loyal following.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience while attending a team dinner for work. The atmosphere was intimate and bright in a room next to the fire pit on the patio. The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly and nice. The food and libations were very good and perfectly cooked. I would highly recommend them for group gatherings, or simply a nice night out.
