******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*****The Mesa Grill is celebrity chef Bobby Flay’s take on south west style cuisine. The restaurant is located at Caesar’s Palace Hotel/Casino on the Las Vegas strip in Nevada. The restaurant has pops of bright colors everywhere and lots of tequila bottles on the wall.

We came for an upscale lunch and they started us off with the most delicious bread basket.

Jalapeño bread, raisin bread, corn chile muffins………these are really delicious!

For my lunch I had the Ancho Chile Honey Glazed Salmon over spinach with black bean sauce, tomatillo and jalapeño crema. ($25.00 subject to change)

The salmon is a generous size and is tender and reasonably fresh tasting. It’s cooked to around medium. The sauces are all delicious and don’t miss that little dot of creama…..WOW it’s far more powerful than it looks…..It doesn’t look like much but it’s delicious and very spicy. It’s a bomb that kicks everything up.

My husband tried the Grilled Mahi Mahi with green chile rice, yellow pepper mole and pineapple salsa. ($25.00 subject to change)

This one is also delicious. The actual fish is milder but all the south west flavors are different and stronger here. They but have great flavors but for me the buttery salmon meat wins over the flaky Mahi Mahi.

Everything was so great that I saved room for dessert and we shared the Banana Cream Pie.

It’s a thin crisp of praline hazelnut brittle over sliced bananas and cream. To me it’s not bad but I would have enjoyed not saving room for dessert and eating more of the bread instead. Incase you didn’t hear…..The bread was just as good as the entrees.

I’d say the Mesa Grill was Worth a Fork!
