Our first dinner in Princeton, New Jersey, was at Mistral Restaurant. It turned out to be such a great spot for eats and drinks, that we ended up there two more times during our visit to the state!
 |
| Tee Time |
The Tee Time cocktail was dangerously good. Made with vodka, elderflower, chamomile, honey, lemon, and sweet vermouth - it went down smoothly and tasted so yummy!
 |
| Fries |
 |
| Beausoleil Oysters |
 |
| Szechuan Wings |
 |
| Smoked Fish Dip |
 |
| Tempura Shishito Peppers |
I loved the Wings and the Tempura Shishito Peppers. I'm usually not a fan of shishito peppers, but this was the tastiest preparation I've ever had them - the light crunch from the tempura coating, and the bounty of umami from the togarashi and the bonito flakes made them addicting. Even though I bit into many spicy peppers, I just loved them!
 |
| Grilled Bavette Steak |
 |
| Crispy Whole Black Bass |
 |
| Seared Diver Scallop |
 |
| Ricotta Gnocchi |
The Gnocchi was pillowy-perfect, and the addition of the popcorn added a surprising, yet complementing texture.
 |
| Strawberries and Cream |
 |
| Hazelnut Chocolate Tart |
Desserts were deconstructed, yet beautiful. If I had to choose a fave, it would be the Hazelnut Chocolate Tart, which combined marshmallow and graham crackers for a delightful s'mores-like dessert.
Definitely visit Mistral for a night of great food and cocktails!
