Bobby Flay has a reputation for being a grilling master. I mean, even his famous restaurant in Las Vegas is called Mesa GRILL.
However, my Mesa Burger just didn't have that awesome grilling taste that one would expect. A properly grilled burger should have been more charred from the high heat of the flame.
My burger tasted like any typical burger from an ordinary restaurant. Nothing really stood out.
Also, the service here was not good. We had to repeatedly ask for the same request over and over again. It really wasn't that busy, so I don't understand why the waiter couldn't get the request right from the first time.
The bread basket was good here though. It had that heat that one expect from a Southwestern cuisine.
ETA - We went there during the weekend lunch (brunch), so they didn't have the classic entree like the Rib Eye. Maybe the dinner menu would have tasted better, but since we couldn't make it for dinner we had to settle for what was on the lunch menu. Nevertheless, they have the proper equipment and the knowledgeable technique so the burger should have tasted better.
Overall, I love Caesars Palace and respect Bobby Flay, I just didn't love Mesa Grill. It was just an average type of place.
