Not much to say except, horrible all around. The food tasted like cafeteria food. The "traditional" Coq au Vin, quoted by the waiter, was more like dry, baked chicken with canned stew poured over the top. Terrible!

I was walking down the street in Charloeston last Saturday night and out of a small restaurant, Mistral, came the sound of a trumpet like I haven't heard since my last trip to New Orleans. The musicians playing had a special guest who sang like Satchmo and Dr John combined and played some of the hottest jazz and blues around. The group played everything from the old standards to rocking new orleans mambos in addition to the trumpet player's original and swinging song "the Flounder Blues" which I later found all over the internet.
After an hour of music I got to speak with the french baret wearing horn man who was very friendly and articulate. He is a recent transplant from Texas and has his own band, Bam-Jazz that plays regionally.
I hope this one returns very soon!
The combination of the music, ambiance, and excellent food made the night.

We went for dinner with our children age 14 and 12 and we all had a GREAT dinner. My 12 year old son loves Escargo and their was the BEST according to him. Service was excellent. We will dine here again. For young children it would not be the best for dinner. Over 10 year old Great.

I went to this restaurant last thursday night and it was absolutely delightful. My husband and I started off with the escargot, which was very delicious. For entrees, he ordered a seafood pasta and I had the Coq au vin. By far one of the best meals i have ever had. The dessert menu was even better, there were too many goodies to choose from. My overall experiance here was fantastic, I will dine at Mistral many more times in the future.

Great place to stop in and eat. Especially if you like great food. Great intimate atmosphere, and soft live music. What can make it any better? Unless of couse, for the resturant to be located right in the middle of the old market (Which it is)!
