My friends and I had Sunday Brunch at Mesa Grill. The restaurant offers a very limited menu for brunch, however, most of the items are very tasty.

I had the roasted cauliflower soup as my appetizer and it was delicious! I tried some of my friends hash brown quesadillas and they were exceptional!

The spicy scrambled eggs is not an item I would recommend. I was pretty disappointed by it.

The restaurant has a very "hip-New York" atmosphere, which I believe makes the ambiance of the restaurant great!

Our server was "on the ball" for most of our dining experience. She only forget one of our requests.

Simply the best. Bobby Flay's contribution to the world of food is nothing short of spectacular. Recommend New Mexican Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon-Ancho Chile Sauce + Sweet Potato Tamale with Crushed Pecan Butter ($34). You won't regret it.

The restaurant decor was pleasant and fitting with the theme of the cuisine, done in warm copper, blues, reds, and yellows.

Meal price came to roughly $64 including drinks, taxes and tip. I thought this was very reasonable. The head bartender is very friendly and very knowledgable about the latest and greatest spirits. He actually comped us on my wife's margarita, charging for a well liquor when he had given us one of the best tequilas in the house!

Our waiter was also very nice, as was the rest of the staff.

Mesa Grill is a new restaurant at Cesar’s Palace. According to a waiter, it has been open for about 4 months. It is Bobby Flay’s first restaurant outside of New York. My sister and I went for lunch and were anxious to try the cuisine of the two-time winner of "Iron Chief." For starters, the restaurant is very bold and modern, with a Southwestern flair, much like the food. It is open and airy and done in lots of colors, especially reds and oranges. The kitchen is fully viewable, which I always like because I think it makes it harder for them to hide things.

I’d also like to say that the wait staff was very helpful and chatty. My only complaint was that they did not have three dishes that were on their menu, which to begin with, was not overly extensive. Of course, it was my luck that my top two choices for my entrée were unavailable, so I settled on the blue crab and cod cakes and my sister took the blue corn-crusted snapper. We also took our waiter’s suggestion to try the shrimp and roasted corn tamale appetizer. The bread basket included three types of bread: yellow and blue corn muffins; cranberry bread; and a plain, crusty French bread. The first two were very unique and tasty. Our appetizer was delicious; a just-right blend of spice to go with the sweat corn tamale. My crab cakes were okay; I’ve had better, as these didn’t have much flavor. This could have been due to the fact that I substituted the red cabbage slaw for regular greens (I don’t really like coleslaw-type foods). My sister’s fish was a much better choice; we both really liked it. I think that the blue corn crust really kept the fish moist and flavorful.

We weren’t going to get dessert since we were stuffed (must have been all the bread), but I wanted to look at the menu anyway. The waiter suggested the coffee and vanilla bean flan, and we couldn’t help ourselves. He was right - it was unlike any flan we had had before. The flavor was subtle but very creamy. It was more like the inside of a crème brulee than a flan. I would highly recommend this for dessert; I’d visit again for it alone.

Just as a side note, we heard two of the tables near us comment favorably on the soup (I think it was roasted squash or pumpkin) and another table was quite taken with the steak.
