Restaurants near Scudder Plaza

The best spot in town. Quality food and service. Inventive without being fussy.

The jazz; the food, the service were all outstanding! Desserts were truly amazing, don’t miss out!

Service was particularly wonderful in the restaurant upstairs , from a rapid welcome to offering drinks, opening our bottle (both options ) to menu and meal delivery . There is a coat rack a little hidden behind the curtain by the bathroom that’s very useful in this cold season. Food was excellent : we shared a salad all ingredients fresh well seasoned more than enough in 2, and each had an entree abundant and delicious the famous burger, Korean version, and the “half chicken “ boneless served with delicious squash purée . Despite being full it was a very pleasant noise level really not loud . I love the lighting and spruce-like wall color We will definitely come again! They have a wonderful couple of private rooms either for a couple or for 6, which could allow privacy for business or simply friendly conversation. When weather I’d look forward to an upgrade of tables - maybe tablecloth and stabilized table foot.

Our meal was outstanding, as always. At Mistral, my husband and I always share what we order. Today, we especially enjoyed the Crispy Salmon Bites and the Grilled Radicchio Salad. Everything was delicious including my cocktail, the “Louisiana Purchase.” Yum!

Our Christmas dinner was a delightful surprise. The restaurant served their regular menu, and every dish was a culinary triumph. We started with a flavorful lamb soup and a refreshing kale and pumpkin salad. The highlight was the shrimp bake—a generous portion of succulent shrimp and mushrooms, minimally breaded, which was a pleasant departure from expectations. The lamb shank was tender and satisfying, though a bit understated in terms of seasoning. However, it was still delicious. For dessert, we indulged in baklava, a new experience for us. It was rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious. We can't wait to return and savor these dishes again.
