Here is the whole gang going to Vegas

in Las Vegas-12/16/05

Maily suggested we tried out Mesa Grill in Las Vegas. I was in charge of making reservation and unknowingly I called New York instead of Vegas. They were so busy so they only could take us at 6:00PM. All of us were so looking forward to this dinner. As we get closer to our reservation time I called the restaurant to find out in which Casino it was located. I heard a pause and then "Madam, we are located in New York". Right away panic set in......what I am going to do now?? Reservation for 11 people is not an easy thing to get at Mesa grill! I was almost sure we were going to eat at Mac Donald but to my surprise they were able to accommodate us. It was just a stroke of luck! it turns out this is the slowest week of the year for them. Lucky us!

Awarded two stars by the New York Times, named Year's Best Restaurant by New York Magazine, and named the #1American Regional restaurant in New York City by the Zagat survey for the past five years.

If you watch the cooking channel than you know who Bobby Flay is...He comes across as an arrogant guy but I have to admit the guy is pretty talented and his food is just great..

Waiting for our table around the bar area. If you ever make a stop here, be sure to try their Margaritas!

By the way, Nicky and Kevin were the only kids in the restaurant. Both of them loved the food there.

The food was so beautiful and yummy! The cocktails were so flavorful and so delicious!

Because they were slow, we got the best service that night. We all had an excellent experience there.

The waiter was wonderful, it was his last night at Mesa Grill so he gave us the best service.

The food was so good that Maily bought one of Bobby Flay's cookbook.

Since Bobby was not around, she settled for the sous- chef's autograph.

Our waiter also sign the book and underneath his name he wrote "executive waiter". The tile was bestowed to him by our group.
