Food and drinks were very good but overpriced. All cocktails are $18. I don’t remember it having a club vibe before but it was difficult to have a conversation with our small group.

Waitress seemed preoccupied and she tried rush my experience. Very inattentive at times… she told us she had a meeting and left for a five minute meeting which turned into a 15 minute gossip session right behind my table. SMH!

We arrived and sat by the bar. No one came to get out drink order but servers took drink orders from everyone around us. I went to the bar and ordered drinks. This was the only good interaction all night. I went to the front desk and asked if they had openings around 8:30. I was told they booked. I went on Open Table and found a reservation opening at 8:30. I booked it. At 8:30 I go to the front desk and said I was there for my 8:30 reservation. The lady said she didn’t see the reservation. I showed her the email confirmation. Suddenly they had two open tables in the lounge area. The fact we were lied to made the entire experience bad. When we sat down we waited and waited and no one came to our table. I get the manager involved. We find it there is some “speed dating” event going on. That doesn’t mean you ignore paying customers. We ordered drinks and food then left. We decided to go to Water Grille where we found better accommodations.

I had a party of 12. The restaurant was short staffed on a holiday! Which was crazy. We showed the waitress grace has we didn’t have just one we had multiple. I was celebrating 🥳 graduating and it was suppose to be a great night. This was my first time here and out of my 11 guest only one other person had been to this restaurant. Victoria I’m guessing was the main waitress as her name was printed on the tab. Her attitude was horrific. As our night was moving along. The dj was playing some good tunes my guest look like they were enjoying themselves until my sister and a friend said the waitress got snappy with them after trying to order another cocktail. I immediately asked for the bill and the waitress said “ Can you guys even afford the bill?” And to follow says “ you guys will have to leave this area , it’s bottle. Service only!” We were not offered to even look at the section prices or the option to buy it. I had no idea that the table my guest and i were at was a bottle service table and further more was not told a time frame from the hostess that we would have to leave. I was completely shocked that the waitress would say that. I felt like she racially profiled us. My group was diverse. It was so weird that we were treated like we could not afford the section. When leaving the establishment i was very upset and it ruined my entire graduation celebration … to be honest i will NEVER ATTEND MESA again!!!!

It was my birthday night; all servers, the bottle service tender, and the MIC were so accommodating and professionally nice! My family and friends were treated amazing and it was well worth every dollar. I loved my bottle service girl, I wish I can remember her name but she did her job too well and I blacked out, oopsy lol. For management: she assisted me on 4/1/23 at 10:30pm through the rest of the night on the sofa bottle service area next to the tree on the bathroom side. Y’all give her a raise! So happy. Thanks again. Best Regards Isabela D.

Meaa is a restaurant/lounge club only good on Thursdays to Saturdays. Other nights they bring amateur unpaid wanna-be DJs forcing unsynced music down your ears. There were so many mistakes mixing music that we got up and left. My 8 year old could do better. Their drinks and food are 3.5/5. Building is beautiful.

Had to wait for the table to be cleaned while another couple, who came after us was seated first. Waited 19 minutes before first contact and a glass of water. Appetizers were served 10 minutes later, and BTW, 3 shrimp as an appetizer which is part of a “3 course meal” for $85 is a terrible value. Appetizer sat for 10 minutes as we waited for silverware. Drinks were ok, but the alcohol content was nonexistent. Once we got to order (another 15 minutes just to order) and after waiting another 15-20 minutes for the food, the Filet Mignon was cold as if it was outside on the ledge for those 20 minutes. The Chicken dish that I ordered magically transformed into A pork/rib dish. I didn’t want to wait for another 30 minutes so I ate the Risotto around the meat. The Risotto was bland and inconsistent with both texture and flavor. Once we pushed through that portion of the “experience” the dessert was served in a timely manner and was the best part of the meal. But only to be followed by the server giving us the wrong bill and leading to another 15 minute wait. Now mind you, I spent $300 on this experience. Definitely not worth it. The coolest part was the DJ but it made the experience to loud to enjoy and the speakers were terrible and were cracking. I’ve had better food, ambiance, and value from Chilis for 1/5 of the price. No thank you to this place. And parking was virtually impossible. They did have valet but no open spaces and 7-8 guys standing around not offering much assistance.

Ambiance was unique, but the food lacked quality for what it was. The desert came with plastic spoon. The prefixed menu was $85 and I have had better food at low key wedding. Service was done by a bunch of cocktail waitresses kind of like an upscale hooters. Could have and should have been better.

I took my girlfriend to Mesa on Valentine’s Day to celebrate the day and it was a great mistake; I got food poising within the hour of consuming my food. I believe the scallops I ordered were the culprit as they had such a weird taste and we’re mushy. I spent $250 for a dinner of two that did not taste good and got me violently sick. We had a theater play after dinner and I had to excuse myself multiple times ruining the experience, only for it to get worse over the next 48 hours. The ambiance inside was great for Valentine’s Day and the service was tentative but I would not go back. I should be asking management for a refund on my tab and play tickets to be honest, thanks for ruining my date.

The only complaint I have about this place are the female servers. I came here for my birthday with 5 girlfriends. The waitresses were not very friendly (hardly smiled) and made us feel like we were annoying even though we weren’t being annoying whatsoever. We ordered cocktails right off the bat and two of the drinks didn’t even come out. We had to ask for it again. They need to learn how to smile, be friendly, and make their customers feel welcomed. Other than that, I love Mesa - the food, the energy, and the bartenders were great!!!

Husband and I went for a early bday, she would forgot to bring items we asked like stuff for our pizza. We waited and she never came but so we went ahead and ate the pizza since it was getting cold. Service could be sharper and the pizza, maybe hold back on the extra creamy cheese in the middle. She didn’t even say anything about our special bday, although I added to our reservation. Thank you!
