Answer: Walk away. Food was mediocre. Insanely over priced (even for Vegas). Waitress grossly up-sold our meal. Go to Border Grill which is also within Mandalay Bay. Great food, great service, very reasonably priced.

Answer: Being in Vegas makes me always want to do something up whether its betting high, hitting a good club, or splurging on a one damn good meal. This trip we chose to do it up by going to Mesa Grill because 1) we LOVE Food Network and 2) we enjoy watching Bobby Flay. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the host and within 5 minutes were seated. Our waiter then came to take our drink order and provided the house recommendations. For drinks, we went for the Mesa Margarita which was very nice and refreshing. For appetizer, we ordered the house specialty Blue Corn pancake with BBQ duck. It was VERY good and it made my wife a duck eater now which she wasn't before having experienced duck at another restaurant but didn't like so much. It had a great BBQ flavor and the blue corn pancake looked like a crepe and worked nicely together. It was great but $15 for one duck pancake was a little steep. For entree, I ordered the house specialty Pork Tenderloin which was absolutely phenomenal. I'm so happy I ordered this dish because it was banging with flavor throughout the entire dish and every bite...melt in your mouth tenderloin!! Smokey and full of flavor! My wife ordered the chipotle bone-in rib eye medium rare which she enjoyed but she definitely liked the pork tenderloin much better. For a side, we ordered the roasted corn that had cotija cheese aka mexican cheese, a creamy sauce and OMG it was sooo DELICIOUS and a great compliment to our dishes. Again, lots and lots of flavor in this side dish! We really enjoyed this restaurant and would definitely be back...after we try Gordon Ramsy's Steak restaurant. ;)

Answer:
I wish we would've just gone to our old standby Tamba which was not even a block from the hotel, but the wife (who NEVER wants to try anything new) wanted to try a new Indian restaurant. The service was somewhat inattentive. We had hot supposedly Chai tea, but no one brought out any kind of sweetener until we requested some. (I should've had a nice cold Taj Mahal beer.) The food was just fair with the standout being the malai kofta. The tandoori mixed grill (lamb and swordfish) and saag paneer were pretty bland. I've had way better food back home in Maryland. They spoiled me rotten apparently. Next time we're in Vegas and want Indian we know where NOT to go.
