Summary: A great meal at a pretty high price. Service is attentive and friendly. Food quality is excellent, as expected. Flavors and textures are superb. Definitely a pricey meal, but worth it if you're cool with it. Three friends and I visited Mesa Grill for the first time during CES 2013. We made reservations for 8:45pm and showed up a few minutes early. We waited for 15 minutes or so to be seated and I imagine that is the norm. Soon after we were asked what type of water we wanted and greeted by our server. He took our drink order and we selected our starting beers. The beer selection was not big but was high quality. Good stuff. The wine-by-the-glass selection was not very impressive and had a pinot noir listed under the white wines. Strange. We scanned the menu and selected our entrees. A basket of olive bread and jalapeno bread was placed at our table so we noshed on that as we placed our orders. Coffee Ground Filet - This was my entree. A pretty large filet mignon, perfectly cooked to my specs (medium), and sliced horizontally so that the top half rested on top of the bottom half. The texture and quality of the beef was fantastic, as expected. The taste was superb. At $50, this was a pricey piece of beef, but it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Mashed Potatoes with Queso Sauce - A nice little cup of creamy mashed potatoes with a little queso sauce on top. Very tasty and smooth. An excellent pairing dish with the steak. Pork Tenderloin - I nabbed a bite from one of my friends. This was the first pork tenderloin I had ever had. It was very tender, very flavorful, and otherwise delicious. Twice Baked Potato - I got to sample another friend's side. This is basically a half potato that is super soft on the inside and has a layer of crispiness on the outside. This was really good, too. The only disappointment in the meal was for one of my friends that got a NY steak. He has for it medium rare and it came out way too rare. He asked for it to be cooked a little more, and when it was brought back out it was done much better. Aside from that hiccup, everything about the meal was fantastic. The prices were not cheap. Obviously, that is to be expected. Overpriced? Yeah, probably to an extent. However, the quality of the food, service, and experience was excellent. I would definitely consider coming back again if I had some money to burn.
