Last week I attended The Taste of Columbus Hospitality Group at Mistral. The event was designed to romance Boston food bloggers (and it worked); the Columbus Hospitality Group (CHG) owns Mistral, Teatro, Sorellina, Mooo…., and L’Andana Grill. Each restaurant set up stations featuring tempting foods. Additionally, passed hors d’oeuvres and a bar serving delicious seasonal cocktails ensured there was plenty to eat and drink for the room of 100+ bloggers who attended the event.
Returning to Mistral reminded me just how much I love the space, the staff and of course, the food. I hadn’t realized CHG also owned Teatro in the Theater District, Sorellina in the Back Bay, Mooo… in Beacon Hill and L’Andana in Burlington, MA. Aside from spending an enjoyable evening with my good friend, 40-Something Life, I loved meeting other Boston food bloggers and the staff from the CHG restaurants. 
Shown above was one of the delicious cocktails I referenced above – SpringThyme – made with vodka, rhubarb, thyme, lime and soda; as well as Mistral’s always delicious sushi grade tuna tartare.
The Taste of CHG proved to be a hit with fellow bloggers. My compliments and sincere thanks to Mark D’Alessandro, the general manager of Mistral, and his fantastic staff for hosting such a wonderful evening.
Should you find yourself interested in checking out one of these restaurants, I’d urge you to consider visiting them tomorrow. On Wednesday, May 1st, a portion of all sales from the Columbus Hospitality Group restaurants will be donated to The One Fund to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
