Restaurant Week at Mesa Grill
I planned a vacation day Monday to recover from our trip and get in one last restaurant week meal. I had made reservations for Convivo weeks before, but upon waking up Monday morning I just didn’t feel like going. The thought of a fancy, formal restaurant just didn’t appeal to my state of mind. I wanted something fun and casual where I could just relax. So I looked online and swapped my Convivo reservation for Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. I’d been to Mesa Grill once before for brunch and while I enjoyed it, it certainly didn’t blow me away. However their RW lunch menu online really good so I decided to give it a shot. The main dining room was almost completely full when I entered around 12:30 and the bar filled up within minutes of my being seated. Maybe since the restaurant got full so quickly the poor bartender was slammed. It took a good 10 minutes to get a menu and another 10 minutes to finally place my food order. Luckily my appetizer came out within seconds of ordering...
