| - We attended a time share presentation and received $75 in restaurant vouchers that were valid at Mesa Grill. My wife loves Bobby Flay and wanted to eat here, so we did. We had to get a reservation more than 24 hours in advance, and the place was packed when we arrived.
While waiting for our table, I used the restroom. There was a little bit of "number two" on the toilet and on the wall! When I told the guy at the front desk he immediately called someone to have it taken care of. So that was impressive.
We sat and waited in a comfortable and contemporary couch. We were called almost exactly at our reservation time.
At our dining table, we were served bread which was unique and delicious. The corn meal muffin was slightly dry and very crumbly. We ordered a second basket of bread.
Entrees range from $32 to $50. Steaks are on the high end. We ordered Salmon and Duck. We did not have appetizers and we did not order drinks.
Both of our entrees were absolutely outstanding. The salmon was not farm. It was fresh, moist, fatty, and perfect. The duck was glazed, medium rare, and great
For dessert, we split a coconut crusted piece of cake. It was very light, and very sweet. Really good.
We left the restaurant stuffed and satisfied with great food. Total came to $85. I left $75 in vouchers, $10 cash, and another $15 tip. So $100 total for two dinners and one dessert. That's a little on the high side for me. I imagine the price would double if we'd had an appetizer, a couple of drinks and one extra dessert.
Only down side was the service. It wasn't bad, BUT for these prices you expect better and faster service. They should fill your water almost as soon as you are at 50%. They should pull out your wife's chair, and give you or napkin. They should take your empty plate faster, and take your empty bread basket faster. Just better attention would help a lot.
Overall, great experience, with opportunities in the waiter area.
