 Loews Coronado Bay Resort’s re-conception of its upscale restaurant, Mistral, is a welcome and successful change. The floor-to-ceiling windows celebrate the spellbinding bay and city view. The name of the restaurant describes a wind that travels across Europe, particularly influencing the sunny climate of Provence. Appropriately, a fifth-generation French chef, Patrick Ponsaty, has elevated the menu with his modern take on French cuisine with vibrant, intense flavors inspired by Europe’s Mediterranean coast. His influence is revealed with the signature Santa Barbara blue prawn, flavors of the sea in union with a sensuous black truffle ricotta cheese cannelloni. The earthy, smoky notes of the hearty wild mushroom ravioli call for a quiet pause to fully comprehend the melody of flavors. His delicate wild sea bass is a winning fish choice with its lavender-honey endive and orange blossom mousse. Meat aficionados will go for the grilled tenderloin sheathed in a fine bordelaise sauce. Ponsaty draws from a serious arsenal of herbs grown in the expansive onsite garden. End with a bisou au chocolat (a French kiss from the chef), an extravagant sweet finish of crispy praline, chocolate sorbet, brandied cherries, rich cake and a regal gold foil touch. While the food speaks of fine dining, the atmosphere remains relaxed and welcoming.
