I have gone here quite a few times on my own and always sit at the bar and meet interesting people, grab a drink, and have an appetizer for my meal. I like the \"rough cut tuna nachos\" but last night I decided to try something else. I was looking at the \"green chile crostini salad with anchovies and ricotta\" but the bartender recommended other things. I ended up getting the grilled octopus salad with smoked paprika, shallots and lime. It was divine, 2 whole tentacles, and reminded me of grilled octopus in NYC. I also had a cactus pear margarita and it was great. The bread basket was great too mmm!!! \n\nI also sit next to some awesome people. Once, a ticket broker for boxing matches. Then, a couple who told me about Vegas Uncorked and led me to go to the Grand Tasting last year (and they paid for my meal). Last night, a law professor in town for a conference.\n\nMesa is a great place with delicious food, a great atmosphere, and interesting people."^^ . "2010-10-03T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . .
