Fodor's Expert Review Mesa Grill

Playful splashes of green, blue, red, and yellow offset the swanky curved banquettes and earth tones at the first restaurant outside New York City from Iron Chef and grill-meister Bobby Flay. The menu is decidedly Southwestern, but with plenty of contemporary twists. Options might include a starter of barbecued duck with red quinoa-blue corn johnny cake and main dishes like mango-and-spice-encrusted tuna steak with green peppercorn and green chile sauce or ancho-chile honey-glazed salmon with spicy black-bean sauce and roasted jalapeño crema. Some tables have views of the casino sports book. There's also a mid-day menu and an impressive weekend brunch. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 5 to 10:30 p.m.
