  • I had wanted to eat at Mesa Grill for quite some time. I'm a huge Bobby Flay fan, and I know several people who had eaten at this restaurant and told me it was fabulous. So, when we recently traveled to Las Vegas I knew this is where I wanted to go. Unfortunately, on the night we had reservations I had a terrible headache, so I didn't get to eat as much as I would have liked. Ideally we would have tried one or two appetizers, each had an entrée and at least one side, cocktails, and a dessert. However, due to my headache we stuck with entrées, sides, and cocktails only. The meal started with a delicious bread basket. Mesa Grill offers several types of bread, including their signature blue corn jalapeno corn muffins, and each one was delicious; but, my favorite was by far the asiago jalapeno bread. It was phenomenal. I could probably eat half a loaf of that bread alone. We each wanted steak, and would have gone with the filet mignon, but neither of us really wanted coffee crusted, so we both ordered the Black Angus New York Strip Steak. I ordered mine medium-well (I know, I know.. the chef anywhere you go never recommends above medium; but, that's how I like steak and that's how I want it cooked), and unfortunately it came out well done. I mean, all the way cooked through thoroughly well done. In the restaurant's defense I didn't mention it to the server, so they were never aware of the issue, but I still feel like a steak cooked at a restaurant, especially an upscale restaurant like Mesa Grill, should come out the way you requested it. I'm not really the type to make a fuss about food anyway, but on this particular night we had show tickets following dinner, so we wouldn't have been able to wait for another steak anyway, so I just didn't see the point of mentioning it. At that point there was nothing we could do to fix it. B had ordered medium and his steak was cooked to perfection for me. I had a few bites of his, but left mine on the plate. At the end of our meal our server did ask if I would like to box my steak up, but she didn't ask if it was ok or if there had been something wrong with it. We shared the Roasted Corn, which is served with chipotle aioli, lime cilantro, and cotija cheese and the Cilantro Mashed Potatoes. Both of the sides were great. We finished them completely. B had the Mesa Grill Margarita and I enjoyed the Cactus Pear Margarita. Again, both cocktails were fabulous and we drank them completely. I really wanted to love this restaurant. I had waited to eat here for so long. But, unfortunately, the over-cooked steak made my meal far less enjoyable than it could have been. If we ever make it back to Mesa Grill I'll be sure to ask for my steak to be cooked less done than I actually want it.
