Dining room at Mistral, Boston, MAHipsters flock here for the oodles of A-list ogling opportunities. Aesthetes relish Celeste Cooper's breezy, high-ceilinged South Beach-meets-southern France interior design. And the foodies, of course, hone in on chef Jamie Mammano's simply elegant Mediterranean dishes, some of which are veritable neo-classics---most notably the black mussels marinière and crab ravioli. That said, given the prices---a side of frites hover just below $10---we sometimes wish the menu were actually a little less refined, making more changes and taking more chances to give us extra creative bang for our buck. After all, funky items like the grilled thin-crust pizza with tenderloin, mashed potatoes and truffle oil are addictive. Meanwhile, from an entertainment standpoint, the attitude some of the staff is priceless.
