I really wanted to be able to give a great review but I can’t the host visited other tables but not ours we felt like out casts. I told our server things could be slow no need to rush we ordered drinks came quick We ordered our meal. The appetizer came so quick that i barely had a sip of my drink which was good that our split salad arrived and then the main course came I had duck he had stuffed trout both were ample and ok just ok like mediocre it became more clear to us that they wanted us in and out. Again it was interesting watch the host hobknobbing with the known clientele not once did she stop bye. We never really felt like we were welcome or belonged. Last night in comparison at the silver fork was head above mistral. I really did not want to write a review like this. Not based on the reviews I read We will not be returning

An excellent venue

Great food and service. Worth every penny

The manager, or who/ whatever she is... is the rudest person I have ever dealt with. We never even got to eat they're bc she refused to accommodate a party of 20 people 9 months in advance. We have eaten there for the past 40 years. We will NEVER go back to that establishment!!!

One of my all time favorite restaurants.
Haven’t been here in 35 years, still one of my favorite restaurants ever. Food and service is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!!!

Great service in a beautiful dinning too overlooking a roaring stream. The food was delicious, prepared and presented properly. Could not ask for a better experience.

Our meals were incredible! We had steak and shrimp. The wait staff was both informative and friendly. The lemon cake was delicious. Highly recommend.

Such a unique experience. Thank you so much. We only tried the French Onion soup and a glass of wine. The soup, is now the best fo I've ever had. So delicious. I wanted to order the rack of lamb but unfortunately, my wife only eats grilled chicken (not thigh), so there wasn't anything for a full meal for her. (For me.. everything on the menu looked great). She was going to order the salad but I offered to go elsewhere and she took me up on that; which was fine. So I immediately cancelled the rack of lamb and asked if that was okay. They hadn't started it and were So understanding and kind. The service was warm, friendly and spot on. They didn't make us feel uncomfortable for that at all. Throughout the entire time we were there we felt wanted and were treated with excellence, even though we were only ordering two soups and wine. The view we had was wonderful. The atmosphere was absolutely top knotch. Certainly, I will come back here one day, of the opportunity comes up. This is 5 dtar in. Oth me and my wife's view for The French onion soup, The service and the environment.

Thank you so much. Highly recommended five star restaurant.

Mistral’s is a hidden gem! We had our wedding welcome dinner there for about 25 people and it was amazing! Cheryl was great to work with, she sat down with us and went over the menu and helped us select the dishes for our dinner. It’s tucked away right off the main road, but the brook it’s next to adds an amazing atmosphere you can’t find anywhere else! We’d highly recommend Mistral’s for an event or just a dinner out. The food was amazing!

It's shocking that many restaurants in Manchester VT are closed on Sunday and Monday. I was scrabbling to find a fine dining spot to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. After a couple of unsuccessful calls, Mistral's was able to accommodate us. Arriving on scene, we were greeted by an area appropriate chalet building. This esthetic is carried on inside. We were greeted and lead to our table adjacent to the kitchen doors. Less than 1/2 the dining room was filled but decided to roll with the punches. The bar was efficient and landed our cocktails quickly. Mistral's menu is heavy with french technique. We selected the pate as the 1st course. My wife and I have had more than our share of pates; we even might be 40% pate at this time. We were both impressed with this dish. Silky, unctuous, rich. Totally on point. We both ordered the sirloin steak. This is where the dinner came off the rails. The plate arrived cold. The julienned carrots especially came out cooked but cold. The steak while cooked to our requested doneness was basically room temperature. Half of my wife's steak was inedible due to a large bit of grizzle running through the cut. The 2 spears of asparagus seemed to be an after thought as was the 2 wedges of potatoe. The desert was cream brulee and carrot cake. The brulee was the clear winner. Carrot cake has lost its way; more spiced fruit cake than a carrot forward cake. Service for the most part was acceptable. The fine dining experience at Mistral's was disappointing. The food quality was uneven considering the price point. Wouldn't be my first choice in the area.
