I spent the past weekend in New York City. This was my second visit, I stayed with a best friend from college. The restaurant I am blogging is MESA GRILL, located at 102 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. I had been wanting to try this restaurant for about..... 3 years, so I was super excited when my friend and her roommate had agreed to go! I must say it was worth the wait!! Being young and poor we decided to go for the brunch and save a little, and had no complaints, the meal was amazing!
Mesa Grill is probably most recognizable because of its head chef, the food network star, Bobby Flay. Booby is known for his southwestern flair, grilling techniques and dashing good looks! MESA was everything I expected and more, the atmosphere is spacious, social and colorful, with an open kitchen (0ne of my favorite things).
Now to the good stuff..... when we sat down a basket of the most amazing baked goods was placed in front of us, consisting of mini cranberry scones and jalapeno corn muffins. To kick our hangover from the night before we ordered bloodies and Mimosas. The Bloody Mary was a little spicy for me, but my friend Loved it, and lets be honest you cant go wrong with a Mimosa!! When our waitress arrived we asked what do you suggest? (and I asked is Bobby here? She said no, he was here earlier..... I think they are programed to say that) anyway she said, the Spicy Chicken + Sweet Potato hash (picture above) and Scrambled Eggs Chilaquiles are the most popular dishes. We ordered both plus an appetizer, Crispy Bacon + hash brown Quesadilla. It was Delicious, the eggs poached perfectly, the Hollandaise was the right consistency, the flavor combinations just dazzled in my mouth! Next time I go I would love to try dinner at MESA, or perhaps the Cornmeal crusted Chile Relleno!!
With that said I 100% recomend MESA!!! Do try it next time you are in New York.... or if you already live there make sure to stop in, well make a reservation :)
