We had red curry with pineapple & this fried rice noodle with chinese broccoli & egg. They were both delicious!! The decor was cool and exotic. The servers were dressed in traditional outfits. Overall, it was a good experience and we do plan on going back.

I was looking for a fancy night out with my three teenagers, and got the worst meal in distant memory. Lupo looked like it had the best menu, nice atmosphere inside, and decent prices compared to some of the other Mandalay restaurants. We waited about 15 minutes for a table and were seated outside (with a lovely view of the restrooms across the way and tourists walking around the casino- Yuck!). The bread with dipping sauces was probably the best food of the night. We started with some calimari, which was average ($16). I ordered the chicken breast piccata ($28). It was one of the worst dishes I have ever had. Normally you would expect your chicken to have a nice golden sear coating tender meat inside. My chicken matched the color of the plate and tasted like it had been boiled lifeless in some kind of onion powdered water- truly repulsive! . Luckily I ordered crispy potatoes ($8) to go with the dish, because when they asked if I wanted to replace it with another entree, I passed. The kids ordered 3 pizza's ($15avg only one GIANT hungry man could eat one of these); the sausage and rapini, portobello mushroom, and pepperoni. When they brought the pizza's they delivered the pepperoni and mushroom, and a margherita- so that went back right away. My son had to wait another 15 minutes for his sausage pizza to come out. When it finally arrived, it turned out to be the worst pizza we have ever had. The rapini tastes like a combination of a brussel sprout and kale- think bitter seafood- bleck! The sausage was also terrible, bland and mealy, with a jarred spices kind of flavor. We decided to send this back. The kids were super embarrassed that we were sending back a second meal. So thank you Lupo for giving me the opportunity to teach the kids that you shouldn't unnecessarily part with your hard earned cash, especially if you have a terrible dining experience (dinner was still $70 plus $10 tip). And that they actually do recover from the embarrassment of their parents sending food back to the kitchen. The only saving grace of the night was that the waiter was apologetic and did try to make it right. I just don't know what you are supposed to do when your kitchen is sending out food of such poor, amateur quality. I am shocked that Wolfgang Puck would put his name on this restaurant.

Mesa Grill is excellent. One of the best meals I've ever had. Sweet Potato tamle was wonderful. Bobby Flay and staff can cook!
