Prime Rib special was very good. Cooked to perfection. The Horseradish mixed sauce was OK but the raw horseradish was better. Awesome idea to have the potato and vegetable bar. The service was excellent. Rocky Road Ice Cream was fabulous

Great service....bar was slow getting drinks out and kitchen was almost too fast. Had a halibut feature that was terrific but will try the 18 oz steak next trip thats also their Tuesday feature. Advisory- the dinner check automatically includes a 20% gratuity. Maybe some of the retirees are cheapskates? Worth the trip.

We were able to eat on the patio, even though it was just a bit cool. However, they have infrared lamps in the ceiling on the patio, so it was wonderful, as was the view, the food and the service!

Please dont advice private club restaurant here where all amenities can only be availed by the club members, food was kinda okay but it was not up to the mark. Most of the people were club members , also it was very awkward between all the elder people. We cannot trust blindly next time , need to check in google or yelp for better reviews. Thanks!

The restaurant had been recommended to us, so I booked for my husband's birthday. The staff was very friendly and our server both friendly and helpful. While this clearly is a favorite place for golf club members, our being a bit more dressed up for the evening did not feel inappropriate. Salads were well-made, fresh and crisp, with good dressings; our entrees were excellent, and I appreciated the ability to make lighter choices. Wine list is limited, but my choice was of good quality. We will definitely go to the Mesquite Grill again. My only negative is the early closing hour of 8pm: when making 7:45 reservations, I had not realized we would be so near closing time. We were not rushed, but did not linger as we otherwise might have done.

Very authentic looking restaurant - neat decor - terrible service - bad pasta - had 3 bites - it was tasteless and soggy and soupy - I let the waitress know - and the kitchen told her that is how their customers like it - didn’t offer to remove it from the bill - friends had seafood entrees they enjoyed - service wasn’t good - very noisy in the restaurant - made it hard to hear each other.
