Best Restaurants for Foodies in Leather District

Amazing vibe, amazing service and amazing food. High quality from every perspective, particularly from all the people who work there and were a part of our experience. I took a few out of town guests who left very impressed. Highly recommend!

We've been here a few times and every time has been an outstanding experience. The ingredients are always of good quality. My favorite broth is their Guizhou Red Suantang. This fermented tomato-based broth has plentiful aromatic Chinese herbs and is a stand-out broth for its tangy and complex flavor that you won't forget! I wish I could bottle it and take it home! I've also tried their black bone chicken broth and classic mala, both are good "old reliables" - the classic mala gets hotter the longer it's been cooking! Each time we've been the service has been attentive without being smothering, all the vegetables are fresh, fresh, fresh! The housemade shrimp paste is wonderful, and the spicy dumplings are some of the best I've had anywhere. I love that you can get a great variety of mushrooms with their platters, their black fungus never disappoints, always big, plump, and succulent! Don't sleep on the fish roe salad balls, they are DELICIOUS, but be careful not to cook them too long or the liquid center becomes molten hot. Highly recommend making reservations, it gets BUSY here and for good reason!

Everything was great but only comment would be I wish they had more options for people who don't necessarily love Greek food, maybe a beef burger or pizza.

Mistral is one of the great Boston restaurants where you can count on a high standard of excellence whenever you go there. Food is always perfectly prepared and delicious. Service is uniformly outstanding. It can get loud as the evening gets later and the dining room fills up, but if you opt to go before 8 pm it is always marvelous.

Our dining experience was fantastic from beginning to end; we enjoyed every moment. We even had a good laugh over the mix-up with the wagyu, but honestly, it turned out to be the best we've ever had. I can't think of a single dish or dessert we didn't love, and a big shoutout to Jared, the pastry chef, for making my early birthday dinner special. I really hope no 9 sticks around because the food here is the best in the city. Again thank you for amazing evening
