| - My turn!
I had friends in town from back home in the Pacific NW and we were well on our way to Ellis Island, which is RIGHT around the corner from their hotel (Tuscany)...I was dreaming of the BBQ when Vern told me this is Rob's first trip to Vegas...well, HELL NO, we're heading to Caesars Palace to get this party started right. Did I mention I started working there a week ago? No? My bad...I get a discount on restaurants there so I asked my friends if they have ever heard of Mesa Grill? Nope... Do they watch the food network ?" and you can see the lights starting to come on..."Yes!" They know Bobby Flay...it's tough to get to the sensitive side of bomb disposal guys but I managed...
I called around 5:30 PM on Sunday, last night, and asked for reservations within 30 minutes. The very nice lady who answered the phone had a place for us in 45 minutes. Sweet! Gave us some time to check out the new pool, show them where the Seven Stars Diamond Lounge is located, check out the pics of Joe Namath standing on the sidelines with Bear Bryant, and Mohammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston.... We arrived to a team of four standing in the elegantly adorned entry. The place is SEXY. Note to self, bring date here! Big smiles from the Hostess. Felt very welcome and warm fuzzies all over. :~) We were about 20 minutes early and wanted to get a drink, but they sat us immediately. The place was packed with smartly dressed people, all having their taste buds do the Snoopy Dance as they dined on incredible looking foods. Just beautiful presentations all around.
We're seated at a table for 4; two chairs and a booth like seating with nice cushions and a wonderful view of the entire restaurant from back to front. I let my visiting friends have the luxurious view since I wanted this to be a special and memorable event for them. It's like stadium seating where there is the ground floor seating...
(had written a much more entertaining review two weeks ago when I went but my #$^%%$$ ^%$#!@ wireless kicked me OUT!!! I'm okay now but do apologize if this segment of the review lacks luster)
I've since forgotten the names of our incredible Wait Person, and her entourage, but we got kiss butt service, everything was explained, they were professional without being stuffy, helpful, knowledgeable and supportive of our choices, without saying, "that's my favorite"... I can't be that lucky or I had better go buy a lotto ticket. I digress...not about me...
Take a peek at the pic and those pics SHOUT a thousand words about how amazing this place is.
Get ready to have your taste buds do the happy dance.
Chow!
