This place needs more recognition! We weren't super hungry so I wish we had ordered more food but we ordered some appetizers to share. Their salad alone was worth the visit. We very much enjoyed our meal here and I hope more people make it here to try their cuisine! So many good wines and a very upscale vibe. We had walked to dinner but it was late enough and we had had enough wine that we needed a cab. Our amazing server called us a taxi-- she was the best! read more

We had an amazing dinner on New Year's Eve at Mesa. I ordered the Lobster mac and cheese (it's called something more elegant on the menu) and my husband had the filet mignon with garlic mash and gorgonzola sauce. The lobster mac had very generous lobster pieces throughout and a delicious cheese sauce. My husband claims it may have been the best steak he's had. It was cooked perfect (medium) and so tender. I sampled a bit with the sauce and it was amazing. Our drinks were delicious and so was our dessert. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Definitely a place to enjoy when in Ponce. read more

Outstanding food, service and ambience. The best spicy Margaritas! It also has parking so it is very convenient.

We were out looking for a specific dinner spot only to find that it was closed on Tuesdays. I remembered driving past Mesa on the way in and head back down the street. Our hostess and server were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. The food was fabulous. I got the 3# lobster, my family got lobster risotto, a filet of beef on gnocchi and a spicy shrimp pasta. We also did the chef croquet and charcuterie board. The food was well prepared, well presented and the taste was incredible. I am so glad the other restaurant was closed and that this one fell into our laps. read more

The food is ok, but overpriced for what it is. Service was hit or miss and it took over an hour to get my food during a weekday lunch. The place is nicely decorated and has good ambience. read more

Pasta was good, with jumbo shrimp. Not thick in sauce but has great flavor. I would recommend. It comes with a choice of glass of wine and dessert. read more

Amazing food and service. From fish to meat all was great. Good wine selection. Don't forget dessert.

The food was amazing. Ribeye cooked to perfection, don't eat French fries but these were very good, steamed veggies, the appetizer bai bums made of crab meat with excellent flavor. No room for dessert. The service was very special. Our server Viviana was very clear on plates, nice and kind. The restaurant is clean, organized and well kept. The bathroom was very clean and nice. There is parking available. Timing of sitting, food and bill was perfect. Hopefully will be back and visit again for sure. read more

This restaurant was amazing, from the decor to food to service. We had a party of 8, and they seated us in the glass wine room. It was really cool! We've never had ceviche with coconut milk in it - was so good! And the tuna tartar was delicious as well. Everyone loved their meal. My friend was especially gushing over her paella. Our server Alex was so attentive and awesome. After we left, I got a call from him telling me one of the kids left their AirPods at the restaurant. He went above and beyond. Thank you Alex, you deserve a raise! read more

Found this place on Yelp when we got into Ponce. It was little hard to find . We miss the place so we had to turn around and go back . Inside was nice which you would not think it would be as the location was just ok . Our food was delicious and waitress was really nice . Little pricy but it was good. read more

Service was a little stuffy, but the guy was at least honest about the appetizer portion size. It was huge and filling! The place is elegant and has great wines and plenty of seafood. While it's not cheap, it's classy and affordable and they have their own parking lot! I had the tuna tataki appetizer (I think) and it's in my pictures and it's beautiful and tasty with a great Japanese influence with the seaweed salad underneath. The decor is beautiful and my glass of vino tinto (red wine) was fabulous! Forgot to add, they do take credit cards. read more

Stopped in for a diner w two friends, great atmosphere, good parking lot, friendly staff. I recommend reservations bc they were not able to seat us. Also the kitchen closed early on a Tuesday night 1/23/2024 8:30 PM. The place was full and the lounge music was dope. Next rime w resi we will try that tasty-looking sustenance. read more

THEY DO NOT TAKE CARDS. CASH OR PAYPAL. My server, Alexandra, made me feel like a movie star. She was especially accommodating with helping me find gluten friendly options and communicating with the kitchen about modifications. I had the veal and the NY strip with the house cab and the house Pinot. Everything was way above expectations. read more

Lowkey gourmet spaniard food that hits the spot. - Empanadillas de Cordero: 4/5 Albondiguitas de Mignon: 5/5 Mesa Salad: 4/5 Secreto Iberico de Bellota: 5/5 Branzino a la Cacio e Pepe: 5/5 Picaña: 5/5 - To begin with, the appetizer of Empanadillas were delicious with an exceptional sauce. The perfect blend of flavors which is also tasted in the Albondiguitas. Flavorful tender meatballs with the combinations of the perfect mango chutney. The Mesa salad was good but nothing special, not the highlight of the meal. The picaña was great, only complaint was that the meat was on the fattier side. Chorizo risotto was the highlight of the dish. Branzino was well prepared, cooked perfectly. The Secreto Iberico de Bellota was one of the best pork I've ever had a restaurant. The quality of the meat was superb. The risotto was delicious, only place I've seen serve risotto with pigeon pea. All plates beautifully presented. Tierrita was the perfect dessert dish to end off the experience. read more

We ate dinner here the other night. The ambiance was chic and upscale. The service was quite good with polite and polished wait staff. I ordered gnocci with sea bass and my partner ordered paella negra. Both entrees were very tasty. My only criticism is the lack of vegetables. There were no veg sides, the paella had two thin spears of asparagus, and only one salad on offer which was composed of things I don't care for, so our meal was unbalanced, I think restaurants should at least offer the choice of a well balanced menu. Over all I recommend. read more

Wonderfully hospitable service and dining venue. Food was good but not superior. I recommend for the overall dining experience, not for culinary excellence. read more

There were 12 of us and we all enjoyed the food. The lamb chops and gnocchi are to die for! The service was great. One thing, though -- it was my daughter's birthday, so we asked to bring a cake as a surprise... The waitress brought out the cake and put it in front of my daughter while no one was paying attention and just left. Usually they sing a song or bring the dessert as a surprise, but this was just awkward. But overall the atmosphere and the food was amazing. read more

The food is great as the service. Nice restaurant, elegant and cozy. Always a treat to eat here.

Becareful. I have been going to this restaurant a lot of times, but this last time , they cheated me out of money. I ordered a bottle of wine, which was a certain price in their menu, then by surprise I see an upcharge of around $40.00. I asked why, and they said they had raised prices of wine week ago. And they said they hadn't "gotten aroudn to fixing the price in the wine list. However, they had some prices changed in the menu-- the one that I ordered wasn't one of them. They fought me tooth and nail for the wine and they didn't even offer me anything in compensation for their own mistake( it was a special occasion, a birthday).I eventually left and paid the bill with the non notice upcharge. I used to go and recommend this restaurant to everyone. Now I tell people to be aware and not go. read more

WOW WOW WOW! everything about this place is perfect. The valet driver was super nice! Alexander our server went above and beyond and was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommendations etc. super friendly and professional. Checked up on us often. The chef cooked everything to perfection. The octopus was perfect. Our steak was amazing we also had the ceviche and the carpaccio! WE DID NOT BELIEVE IT WHEN WE MET THE CHEF AND HE WAS ONLY 23 years old! He is doing an amazing job. We expected to see someone who has been in the business for 24 years! My wife is pregnant but craving a spicy margarita (without alcohol of course) they mentioned it would be basically a spicy lemonade and that she'd be better off with a virgin mojito but then offered to first try making the margarita. The margarita was amazing and should be added to the menu as a virgin drink. I would never believe it wasn't a real margarita. The restaurant itself is super clean and upscale. Lots of nice fixtures and designs. You can tell the staff loves their job. Everyone was so happy piano music in the back. I will come back to PR from Florida drive 4 hours to get here and back to the airport and back to Florida all in one day just to eat here again. read more

One of the best meals we've had. The food was superb, the service outstanding, and the ambience also great. This is not a cheap restaurant, but it's priced fairly for what you get.

Una gema escondida.! Tengo sentimientos encontrados de hacer este Review... Me encanta todo, y casi he probado el menú completo.

What a great surprise! We were not sure about this place as there were not a lot of reviews, but the food quality and preparation were top-notch (and I know what I am talking about). The filet mignon and gnocchi were to die for. The service was great as well! If we were staying longer we would go again tomorrow night. Highly recommended! read more

This has been the most amazing meal during our travels in PR but also one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The lobster risotto was the best I have ever had and the ceviche, which I usually don't eat, was terrific. A must go to!! Could have eaten here every day. read more

I had the best meal of my life here. Seriously. Amazing service, impeccable dining experience from start to finish. I love this place!

Food awesome, service superb, ambience excellent. I have a superb time. Will come back definitely.

We arrived 30 minutes early to our reservation but, to our surprise, our table was already reserved and ready. The main dining room is gorgeous, elegant, modern. Table and chairs were very comfortable. The music selection being played was great ( a smooth jazz) and at a volume and tempo that was perfect to have a nice conversation and enjoy our meals at our own pace. Our waitress (I believe her name was Nahir) was so attentive, she checked on us frequently, her recommendations were assertive and great, she was courteous, dynamic, and she delivered everything timely, everything in our order was delivered correctly. And now the food, as recommended by Nahir, we ordered the veal chop appetizer with a pineapple chutney (or marmalade, I can't remember). It was sweet and spicy, veal was super tender, it was delicious. As the main course I ordered a turbot filet with potato gnocchi in a white mushroom sauce. The fish was a little dry but still delicious, the gnocchi and the sauce were so good, the portion was great. My husband ordered a veal tomahawk (cooked medium) with Parmesan risotto and grilled vegetables (fresh asparagus and carrots). It was a beautiful and super big portion, but he ate it all. I had a piece of the veal and the risotto and it was just amazing!!!!. We were full for dessert but we still asked but, to our surprise, the pastry chef was out that that and the only selected on available was flan (I don't like flan). So we had to settle for a dulce de leche Häagen Dazs we got at a nearby Walgreens. In summary, the experience was absolutely worth it, the menu was innovative and varied, the service was outstanding (thanks Nahir, she was running for floor like a rockstar!), the atmosphere was relaxed, the decor was modern and beautiful. When you are in Ponce, treat yourself with a visit to Mesa. read more
