Sentiment analysis: I asked for my money back! The fish was rubbery. The roll I ate tasted like a piece of carpet with mayonnaise on it. The chow mein had a disturbing spice (?) in it. The chicken skewer looked to have been sitting there for four days. The locals seem to love this place. That being said, one of them sitting next to me was eating her sushi with a fork. You're better off getting a fish sandwich at a fast food restaurant. Your gut will not like this food.

Sentiment analysis: We (4) went for Friday lunch with no reservation on the weekend of Super Bowl and only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. Terrific service from our waiter who explained the highlights of the menu without talking down to us. From the margaritas and mojitos to the Queso to the entrees everything was delicious and VERY flavorful. Two of us had the huge Mesa Burger, one had the shrimp tacos and I had the Chicken & Sweet potato hash. As a matter of fact, it was so good that Sunday my husband and I went back for brunch. We were up a bit early (10:30am) and there weren't many places open for brunch (which we thought was odd) but in checking around we found Mesa Grill was open and had a brunch menu (rather than just the usual lunch fare that many restaurants serve). We had the bacon & hash brown quesedilla topped with a fried egg (the bacon was smokey and wonderful) and the Egg Sirloin Tortilla which is essentially fajitas with eggs & steak (and nice spicy garnishes). The bread bowl mix was toward sweet breads (as one would expect) and they were all delicious. And one of the best spicy Bloody Marys I've ever had. I usually think most celebrity chef restaurants are forgettable and we'd planned just to stop for a drink and maybe an appetizer..., but this one was good enough to visit twice in one weekend. I'll definitely be back!

Sentiment analysis: Okay, so finally tried the place....it was okay. There was no one at the host stand when we walked in, waited a few minutes, then heard a man yelling at a waitress to go seat us. Turns out it was our waitress and she did not look too happy. Let's get to the nitty gritty- what was good: whole catfish (minus the head even though I would've liked it with) moist inside and crunchy outside. baked beans were AWESOME! even for someone like me to hates beans Half chicken was decent, nice flavor but some parts were pretty dry Turnip greens were good The not so good: Our waitress was very helpful but was so slow and at times we had to have the other wait staff find her for us My man had the peach tea...it was a little on the tangy side ( uh its supposed to be peach, not lemon tea) Mini cornbread, dry and a little hard Lots of other customers complaining and wanting to talk to the manager due to the kitchen taking FOREVER to get the food out Overall, it was just okay- don't think we'll be back...location is closer to our house but think we'll drive all the way to GV and go to Lucille's instead.
