text: I must confess that the main reason I came to Mesa Grill out of all the restaurants in Las Vegas is because I have a cowboy brush on Bobby Flay Despite most negative opinions of celebrity chefs I think many of them can cook well Personally I enjoyed dining at Mesa Grill nnMy friend and I came on a Sunday afternoon for brunch We were both impressed by their staffs cordial and professional service There was a complimentary bread basket which I was very impressed with and a wide selection of water YES WATER to chose from So service receives stars Based on the number of parties I saw in the restaurant reservations are probably not necessary for lunch or brunch But it might be otherwise for dinnernnWe started off with Chef Flays famous Tiger Shrimp and Roasted Garlic Corn Tamale I think this appetizer was definitely true to Flays southwestern stile and is a must try The shrimp was cooked perfectly tender and sweet corn tamale was fresh and fluffy and the his signature sauces were extremely flavorful Each bite has a familiar spice kicknnThen we ordered the BBQ Lamb Cobb Salad and the Eggs Aged Strip Loin Tortilla The cobb salad and lamb were divine I loved the buttermilk dressing so good The tortilla dish was on the mediocre side and made me wish I ordered the Spicy Chicken and Sweet Potato Hash which has been on the menu for the last years However I was mainly looking for a steak for lunch so it satisfied for cravings Honestly I could have gone without the egg and myriad of relishes very beautifully plated because the strip loin was cooked really well medium rare which I think is how all good meat should be cooked It was incredibly tender and melts in your mouth I will definitely have to come back for dinner to try his Mexican Spiced Pork TenderloinnnALSO I LOVED the complimentary bread basket The waiter describes what each bread piece is and each was delicious on its own
