Mistral - Milwaukee

Can't say enough good things about this restaurant and his food. Every dish was amazing. It is hidden in the Avalon Theater on KK Ave in Bay View, and the occasional bass-choco sound from the cinema reminds you of it. But the ambience in the restaurant is intimate and quiet. The menu is varied and tasty (and I am not easy to please and have eaten everywhere). I've never tasted so delicious octopus. The price is low compared to the quality and quantity of food. It is a small place, but we have a simple reservation on a Saturday evening (this will change according to COVID and this review)! The wine pairings were generous and perfect with the food. Five stars on everything and we'll be back.

Fantastic food at great prices. Got the octopus appetizer with the rabbit main dish. All of the flavors were perfect. Did the wine pairing with the dinner and the choices really complimented the food. They know what they're doing here. Definitely worth checking out

What a fabulous dinner. From the salami spread and salted bread, to the pancetta for dinner and strawberries with cream honey to finish. Definitely one of the best Chef’s in Milwaukee. Do yourself a favor and stop for dinner.

Loved everything about our dinner. Nice cozy atmosphere set next to the historic Avalon theater. Appetizers were perfect flavor and portion, we recommend the duck wings and grilled octopus. Entrees were great as well, especially wonderful was the European bass. Every dish was a bit of a Mediterranean-American fusion. We made reservations and would recommend the same.

My husband and I were so excited for a night away for some “us time”. Our server, Rebecca and the ambiance of Mistral made our little time together so wonderful. We both had an appetizer, entree and dessert. All were amazing. My husband rarely shares, but couldn’t wait for me to try his dishes, too. My filet was crispy perfection on the outside and done so well in the middle. So many flavors. Enjoy your night at Mistral too!
