Case: I come to this place whenever I am in town for business because it is familiar and less formal than most others around but I need to stop that.  The food is ok beer ok but the service is horrendous every time.  Have to wave down help, never get refills. I am not alone as people constantly stop by the bar to ask to pay their bill since no one ever returned to their table. Shame because the place is cool looking but...there comes a time. I guess I need to switch to wine next time in the cite!

Case: Always fresh here! Love the free birthday meal too! Small space so show up early if you want a table. Best to call in advance for take out too.

Case: The chicken wings were not as great as what I expected, I've had way better wings at the local pub, and boneless wings are more like chicken nuggets, the buffalo sauce did not have any kick to it at all, it was mostly butter. If you are craving good wings, go somewhere else, but if your looking for eye candy, you've come to the right place. Overall experience, my tummy was fed, service ok, a bit pricy, am I coming back? Probably not.

Case: In the early days of Food Network, I held an inexplicable grudge against Bobby Flay.  His only show at the time was the original Grillin and Chillin where he was partnered up with a bona fide hick in overalls.  Then Bobby caused all sorts of hullaballoo by standing on his cutting board.  Over time, I slowly began to accept that he really was not so bad as a personality and possibly even good as a chef.  So personality differences aside, I made a brunch reservation for Mesa Grill on my most recent visit to Las Vegas.  \n\nThe bread basket made an immediate impact.  It contained two types: a jalapeno cheddar bread and a corn muffin.  The jalapeno cheddar bread was not at all a wallflower.  It packed a really spicy kick from the peppers and a salty crust from the cheese.  The corn bread was soft and airy and could barely be buttered.   \n\nWe ordered two appetizers, one of which was the rough cut tuna nachos.  I was ready to dismiss this altogether because everyone knows rough cut tuna nachos means Mexicanafied tuna tartar.  Well, yes, but it was such a different and delicious dish that I would not make such lame generalizations again.  The blue corn chips were freshly fried and incredibly crisp.  The tuna was not a dice/mash of tuna odds and ends but beautiful jeweled cubes of red tuna.  It seemed to be the perfect compliment to the cool avocado crema and the spicy mango habanero hot sauce.  When we ordered this our server went out of his way to warn us that the tuna was going to be served raw.  This is Vegas after all and how horrifying might it be for someone to expect canned tuna on tortilla chips and get this beautiful thing instead? \n\nThe next appetizer was equally delicious and one that most people rave about.  A moist tamal has been covered with sauteed tiger shrimp and a garlic cream sauce.   It was a nice change of pace to dip the tender shrimp and masa into the velvety sauce.  \n\nFor his entree, John ordered the New Mexico spiced pork tenderloin sandwich grilled red onion, arugula, ancho chili mayo and spicy fries.  This was a perfectly good sandwich but not as memorable as the other things we tried.  The pork was room temperature and I would have much preferred it hot and freshly sliced.  \n\nThe only dish I might not get again was my own.  I grew up eating homemade chile rellenos and this version was little too clean and precise.  The chile was very neatly and uniformly coated in a cornmeal crust and stuffed with manchego and roasted eggplant.  The cornmeal was crisp but too thick and I much prefer queso fresco to the much more pungent taste of the goat's milk manchego. I did however, like the sweet and sour combination of the red pepper and balsamic vinegar sauces. \n\nI must give Senor Flay some credit.  It was a really good meal and he really has a way with flavors and sauces.  He didn't shy away from authentic ingredients and a good amount of heat.  We easily classified it as one of our better meals of the trip.

Case: This is a great place to eat! The food was amazing and our server, Kai, was very knowledgable and kind. We also met Chef Paco who was also pretty awesome and you could tell that he really tries to make the best food he can make. Overall this place is great. Being Mexican myself I found that this place not only has great authentic food but also has great customer customer service. I'll definitely be back again soon!

Case: RUDE, rude bouncers, rude people. This place was packed to the gills, you could not walk or hardly breath. no one lets you pass and people push you, this male bouncer actulaly pushed my female friend WTF!!!. There are vip tables in each corner of the club so the dance floor is really compact, there is a techno house room and the other room was playing 70s music, all in all not the best experience. But the music in the main room was good and there were  free shot girls walking around earlier in the night..

Classify the following: Great ambiance with a lounge feel (minus the ow seating): Moderately busy in a weeknight. Inside you find dim lighting, exposed brick, and swivel chairs that are arranged in pairs, which make it a better place for a date and conversation than a loud night out with a group of friends. Wished I could hear more jazz and/or downtempo rather than the rock that was playing that night. \n\nInteresting and tasty cocktails, but limited selection, and overeager waitresses that return over and over again to check in with you. And the drinks taste slightly different each time you order them. No student prices here, get ready to spend at leaf $50 for three drinks.
