We have been coming to Mistral for over 30 years, and it has never disappointed. The service is always great, the food is consistently delicious, and we are welcomed like old friends, even if we had taken a long break between visits, as was necessitated by having a newborn And having to eat in family type restaurants for his first 10 years. Even then, we would make sure we got in a visit to Mistral at least three times a year. Prior to that we dined here pretty much weekly. We always joke that it’s our little Manhattan bistro in the heart of Sherman Oaks. Great date night spot!

Took my BFF for her birthday brunch knowing she doesn’t like heavy French food, she thought it was charming, loved our brunch. Our waiter was lovely, fun took very good care of us as did the hostess and we had a lovely couple of hours. We dined outside. They have heat lamps, which were really lovely for a cool Sunday morning. Will definitely go back and my BFF said she tends to bring her husband there as well so overall it was a hit.😛
