I was seeing a show @ Ceasar's Palace this night and I thought that I would get there early and check out the "Flay" thing at Mesa Grill here in Las Vegas.
As always, on the weekend nights in Las Vegas, it and everywhere else was packed. I was lucky enough to find a place at the bar. The bartender was good and so was the cactus pear blossom margarita. Actually one of my all-time favorites. However the 2 appetizers I ordered were laughably SMALL!
I had their famous Lobster Tacos and the Tiger Prawn Tamale. The tamales were good, the tacos were so tiny that I couldn't tell if there was lobster meat or just the "essence of lobster" in them. They were both more like an amuse bouche than an appetizer.
Tacos $20 Tamales $15 estimated weight 3 ozs. total ... if that.
Tamales were tasty. The tacos were too small to register taste.
After 1 drink and tax the tab was $53. $10 tip = $63
I doubt that I'll give it a second try for entrees.
The VALUE was a joke as far as I was concerned.
Thankfully the food court was right next door so I didn't have to sit thru the show hungry :)
