Le Jardin

La Mesa Review: We came here for a friends birthday & overall was a cool spot and nice aesthetic! Here were some points that stood out for service, pricing & food.To begin, we had a reservation for a table and still waited like 30 min when we got there. We were able to wait by the bar and the drinks were good, bartenders were so fun! I ordered a Moscow mule and it was $20 kinda shook for just one drink but at least it was good. We finally got seated but at the back of the restaurant so we were not in the "show" area. They did let us get up and closer to watch & it was a really cool performance!! I really enjoyed watching the fire dancers it was so dope & for that I give this place a good rating. I do wish the show went on through the night though because it was only about 10 minutes.As for the food...save your money! I am all about paying for some bomb food but the prices do not match quality in my opinion. Every plate is about $30+ and soo small. I ordered the Wagyu Sliders and they were mid compared to others I've had in the past. The tacos were so tiny literally gone with one bite haha. I think for the price I would've expected better or larger portions. Overall, I might come back here just because of the aesthetic and vibes. I wouldn't come for dinner but I would for drinks + show!

Le Jardin, La Mesa, call it what you want, but I gotta say I had lots of Le Fun! Bestie invited Hubbers and I for a Friday dinner here. She mentioned she's never been either but her husband has been bugging her to go. For some odd reason, she responded with, "Only if Jenn goes..." I brought it up to Hubbers and he was down. (Yay!) He and I had NO idea what this place was about, but we decided to just sorta wing it. More importantly (for me, at least) I really REALLY just wanted to hangout with Bestie! Hubbers and I came th rough super early (like 30 minutes early) for our reservation slot. From the outside, it didn't look like anything, really, but at entry, we were immediately impressed! The entire area was beautifully decorated. The soft lighting and smooth music added to the overall relaxing feel. Plenty of photo op spots! We were in here not even five minutes and we already loved it. We opted for a couple of drinks before Bestie, Hubby and another friend came through. With reservations on hand, we were seated immediately. Hubbers and I got the chance to screen through the menu and knew what we wanted. But it all also depended on our party. We all collectively agreed to do everything family style. LA MESA GUACAMOLE: It was a must have for Hubbers and I. We have never had it served with black sesame rice chips, so this was a treat. Guac was freshly made and seasoned perfectly and the fresh made rice chips not only were delicious, it paired very beautifully with this dip. Great starter! SALMON CRUDO: I've had my share of salmon crudo, but there was something special about this one. The salmon was the true center of this dish and the herbs did their magic. However, it came with a familiar taste I couldn't put my finger on... it was salty, briny, that metallic taste. I guessed water from freshly shucked oysters - and I was right. (The chef confirmed it.) Who came up with this, I loved the combo! This, too, is a first for Hubbers and I. It might not be for oyster fans, but it truly worked for us. This plate was empty in no time. BURRATA SALAD: Another must-have for Hubbers and I. This is a fantastic palate cleanser. When combining a bit of everything in one bite, you get a sweet, salty, sour and creamy combination dancing all over your palate. Loved this as well! SPICY TRUFFLE PASTA: I asked if I can have this made mild (only if it's possible) and was met with, "No problem!" The heat still came through (it was more like a "kick") and the pasta was a perfect al dente. The aroma of the truffle was subtle but clearly present and the acidity level of the tomatoes were just right. WAGYU TOMAHAWK: Hubbers and I agreed we'd only get this if our party makes even the slightest mention of it. When Bestie said, "Hey, wanna share the toma..." I'd already interrupted her with a resounding "YES!!!!" We we're all split at how to have to prepped, and we asked if it was possible to get it between a medium-medium rare. How they perfected the finish blows my mind. And seasoned with garlic and coffee grinds (ANOTHER FIRST!) every bite was just sublime. FOOD: 5. Amazing. SERVICE: 5. VALUE: 5. Bestie was far too generous and paid for the whole thing, but whatever she paid: WORTH IT!!!! PARKING: Street parking will be a challenge. Pay the $20 for valet. OVERALL: 5. There was a saxophonist walking around, there was a fire show, and the whole place turned into a dancing/club venue post dinner service. We had the most amazing evening! So glad Bestie intro'd us to this place as there are talks for a return visit! Here's hoping that's sometime sooner than later! Highly HIGHLY recommending!

This review is for LA MESA; according to my trusted resources (other yelpers) this is the page for them. It is absolutely beautiful inside!! I love a place that makes you feel as if you were transported away from the city and all your worries. The staff were all friendly and helpful with helping us get some photos. The highlight of the night were the fire dancers! Beautiful women with impressive skills. We had great service from everyone. One of our drinks was spilled and they rushed over to clean up the table and replace the drink. Food was brought out within 30 minutes and we were a group of 9 very hungry women. Hands down the BEST espresso martini I've had so far! Food ratings: 1. Corn riblets 5/52. Spicy truffle pasta 3/53. Lamb chops 4/5 4. Filet mignon tacos (comes with 3) 5/55. Wagyu sliders (comes with 3) 3/5 6. Tuna tacos (comes with 3) 5/57. Chili crunch potato 4/5 MAKE RESERVATIONS and be on time. We had a 2 hour time limit on a Thursday night.

I give it 3 stars for a few reasons:1. The hostess was sizing us up when we went to check in for our reservations; not proper how to welcome folks to your establishment;2. We get seated and our told that we'll be sitting there for 90 minutes;3. Waitress comes and introduces herself to us and tells us as well about being there for 90 minutes; takes our drink orders and the drinks took awhile to get to us;4. She comes back to take our orders, and AGAIN brought up the "90 mins" like if we didn't hear her and the hostess the first couple of times already!!! I told her that we're not stupid, ignorant or deaf, we know about it since it's been told to us NUMEROUS TIMES!; we placed our food orders and it took them FOREVERRRRRRRR to bring us our food and drinks;5. When she came back AGAIN, I reminded her how we're going to go past the 90 mins since they're taking forever for the food and drinks, that if they rush ppl to eat, then the service should be more on point!;6. The "experience" or "show" lasts about 5 mins, I thought it was going to last longer with the way they kept announcing this "show/experience" if you've been to any Caribbean all-inclusive resorts, you've already seen this show, it's just 2 girls walking around and dancing with y fire. Nothing that gave that "wow" factor.Restaurant is beautiful, food was flavorful, but you can get the same food elsewhere for cheaper; and the staff service SUCKED, the busboys were much more friendlier/personable!

I was not a fan of anything there. First off they don't tell you that there's a service charge on top of a tip. I paid $60 for two drinks that we're about $20 each and on top of that a 75 dollar service charge for the table, not including a tip. I wish they would tell you that at the beginning and not at the end. On top of that the food was not that good and half of our party got sick the next day. They also tell you that there's a show, but when I was there, I only saw the girl dancing once for like five minutes. I honestly would never come back and I do think that they overcharge for everything. Seriously I would rather go to beauty and Essex were you can have a six course meal for $45.

La Mesa restaurant review: I went for my birthday dinner and had a good experience. beautifully decorated, delicious drinks and food and enjoyed the fire dancers (we saw 2 performances). We had good service as well. Food- lamb chops, Chilean sea bass, and tuna tataki. The tuna was so fresh and melted in your mouth. The lamb chops were better than the sea bass. Drinks - whiskey sour and la coco (I believe). The whiskey sour was great! I wish the portions were larger given the price. The bathrooms also desperately need a remodel to watch the rest of it.

I came here with some friends. We made a reservation at 7pm to avoid the $1,000 fee. I loveed my filet tacos, the filet was cooked perfectly with the truffle aioli it was perfect and it melted in my mouth. They also have vegan items like the sliders and tacos. The drinks were also amazing too I usually don't finish my drinks but here I drank 2!There were also beautiful fire dancers who were very talented and entertaining to watch. The only annoying thing was they rushed us out right when we hit our 90 minutes. Which is understandable but one girl was telling us to leave before we even got our check..It is super expensive so only come here for a special occasion and dress fancy.

How slept my sister and cousins surprised me at this place la mesa to celebrate my 30th birthday the ambiance was amazing our server Celine or Selena was sweet and attentive we got there at a great time the drinks are strong but good I babysat the hell out of mine but worth it . The appetizers were good also the steak. The dancers were so awesome and friendly I was bit drunk but I will never forget my experience hereI shook Shawn's hand I think he was the manager on duty but her was really nice didn't ignore me so that was awesome thank you guys for an amazing night.

Food is decent, price for 4 was around 550 after tax and tip & bull poo fees like table service... for a restaurant.. This place is now called la mesa lounge and its on the other side of lure nightclub but will pop up as lure nightclub on your credit card statement. They charge random fees like covid ppe + 20 percent gratuity on a party of 4 + 75 table service fee. Didn't know I was dining at a night club. laugh out loud. Decor is night, they have some fire dancers, worth a one time visit but whats with all the fees. Gratuity shouldn't be included until its a party of 6 or more not a party of 4.

Came here last night for my friend's birthday. We had a reservation but still waited over an hour for our table. We were able to get drinks at the bar area while we waited, but they took a long time to get too, and the bar area was crowded, and we were constantly in the way of servers running drinks to their tables. If you're coming here, be prepared for standing through long wait times!There was an acrobatic show while we waited, which was cool. The place is well decorated, and there were a couple spots to take pictures. Definitely Insta-friendly.The food and drinks were really good, which is why I still gave it 4 stars despite the wait. I got the Costa Azul cocktail, which was well balanced and looked cute. For food I got the salmon and truffled cauliflower. The salmon was delicious but the cauliflower rice it was served on was cold, which was unexpected. The truffled cauliflower had a yummy sauce and the batter was nice and crispy and flavorful. Presentation for food and drinks was nice too.Prices weren't too crazy in comparison to other similar lounges in the area, but maybe I'm too used to it being ridiculous prices just for ambiance.
