Mesa Grill Review

Went with our teenagers for lunch and really enjoyed our choices. They are not afraid spice up the dishes. Service was a bit slow. But overall, we would go back.

My husband and I dined at Mesa Grill with two other couples. We received less-than-stellar service from the waitstaff (perhaps because we're rather young???)Our entire party was dressed up.
We were seated in the back corner of the restaurant behind a curtain. We had to ask for a wine list, while the other tables around us were given one upon begin seated. When I ordered my entree (the Chile Relleno - a large chile stuffed with chevre), the server condescendingly asked if I had eaten chevre before.
We had an appetizer - I believe it was the BBQ duck crepe? It was fine. The entrees were passable - nothing to write home about. My chile itself was delicious but the mushroom sauce tasted like straight-up vinegar.
Not the worst meal ever, but not the best. I probably would have had more to say about the ambiance if we weren't seated behind a curtain!

Now I know why some celerity chefs are successful! Just over season and add so much heat you can't taste the food.
We dined at MEsa lasy night for Mother's Day. What a mistake. Our food was so over seasoned we litterally could not taste a thing.
Dining should be enjoyable. Our meal last night was an ordeal in survival.
Only bright spot was the bartender. He was awesome.
in closing, Mesa is as over rated as Emeril's at the MGM grand. Don't waste your money!

Although my entire family are fans of Bobby Flay, I must admit that we were anticipating just above average Contemporary Southwestern cuisine. We were delighted to discover boldly seasoned proteins, innovative twists on classic Mexican recipes, and very attentive waitstaff who were remarkably knowledgeable about not just the appetizers, entrees and desserts, but also the selection of liquors and mixed drinks available. We remain die-heard Bobby Flay fans and look forward to many more return visits to Mesa Grill.
