Every time I walked by Mesa Grill, I thought about trying it. I finally made it here last Sunday. The restaurant is big and modern. Because it was Sunday at 11:30am, we were told brunch was served.
The brunch menu was kind of limited (http://www.mesagrill.com/lasvegas/pdf/mesalvbrunch.01.08.10.pdf). We decided on the following:
1) TIGER SHRIMP TAMALE with CREAMED CORN (not on the above menu) - $16. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XZbuPXdyA0ZtTu3AzqtQhg?select=bZdGAk4KyioloJNNm9GiIA) This was quite good. I'm not a fan of tamale but I enjoyed the creamed corn and the shrimps (total of 4!).
2) ANCHO CHILE-HONEY GLAZED SALMON in Spicy Black Bean Sauce + Roasted Jalapeno Crema - $22. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XZbuPXdyA0ZtTu3AzqtQhg?select=ZzxIYMiVP3O1osnjdF4Hfg) I ordered it well done. The salmon was very tender with good flavor. However it must have sat on the counter for awhile b/c it was barely lukewarm!
3) NEW MEXICAN SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH Grilled Red Onion, Arugula Ancho-Chile Mayonnaise + Southwestern Fries - $16. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/XZbuPXdyA0ZtTu3AzqtQhg?select=QQ6QbO2CmSWDD7l9OwudAw) This was the biggest disappointment of the meal. My fiance gave it 1 star. Enough said.
Service was spotty. At first it was really good, but then it just went down hill. Like I said earlier, our food must have sat on the kitchen counter for awhile b/c my salmon was barely lukewarm and my fiance's sandwich (the pork tenderloin) was cold and hard! Our iced teas were getting refilled until we were done eating. Then they took the plates away and didn't bother asking if we would like another refill. C'mon, even if we're done, we might still like some more ice tea!
I thought the quality and service didn't measure up to my expectation and the prices. 3 stars is all it gets.
