    We have been there twice and both times the food was amazing! If you like steak get it from here; it has a really tasty rub on it and is delcious. Desserts and good too. A bit pricy but if your looking for a nice place for dinner I would reccomend it.

    All my Mom talked about when coming to visit me in New York was how bad she wanted to eat at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. I took her there for her birthday and it was absolutely terrible!!! Big disappointment! Don't recommend to anyone.

    Had high expectations but was somewhat disappointed. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and made reservations at Bobby's place. Everything started off fine. Decor was great. Bobby Flay was actually at the table next to ours and was entertaining the folks there. Our waiter seemed more interested in his boss's table than ours. He wasn't even their waiter but he spent more time over there than at our table. He rarely checked on us. He might have said 2 words to us all night and we had to flag down other servers just to get drinks and appetizers ordered.

    The Food: wasabi mashed potatoes I think?? They were good. I had the NY Strip with them. VERY DISAPPOINTED in the steak. Very. Was a below average steak and it was what our waiter suggested. Not much flavor and the meat wasn't really juicy at all. Was overcooked. The sauce with it was good though.

    My wife had the chicken and it was average as well. She at a couple of bites. Here stuffed tamale corn concoction was delicious though. Best thing we ate all night. The sides were all great and the entres were all average.

    Best part of the night was our after diner drinks. I order a scotch on the rocks. The thing was massive. Had to have been 4 or 5 shots in it. It was still only $12 or so. I don't know if it was because they realized we had been getting the shaft or they always make drinks like that, however, it was the largest scotch I have ever seen. I was delighted.

    We will give MESA a second chance next time we are in NYC. We may have had a bad server and he could have left our food in the window to long or something. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, we will definately be ordering different items this time!!!
