Table Mesa

A colleage and I went for lunch, the service was slow. First to get our drinks then to taking our order and then the kitchen. We waited almost an hour not noticing because we were catching up. When we asked we got OOOO you havent received your order let me check. Another 15-20 mins finally our food arrives. it was tasty.\r So thinking it was a fluke I sent my boss, out of town guests and other coworkers for dinner this week. They arrive to find the reservation I had made the week before didn't exist but didnt matter because they were the only people in the place. (8 of them) once again the service from the kitchen I am guessing was SLOW. Again took over an hour to get their food and the menu is not extensive or complicated. I doubt it will be open much longer by the looks of the crowds or lack of them. Maybe if you sit at the bar so the kitchen help can see you it MIGHT make a difference. Pros: Cuban Fusion Cons: Slow service so so food more

I took my parents to Table Mesa for Mother's day.. This place surpised me. From the outside, this place looks very ordinary, after we entered inside we've noticed a really nice decorated restaurant. We were greeted by a polite hostess, whom led us to one of the booths. We thought this place was going to be really expensive at first, upon looking at the menu we've noticed that the prices aren't that bad at all! (A trip to PF Chang's or Chesse Cake factory costed more..) We then proceed to order couple appetizers and drinks.. by the way the topshelf margaritas are wonderful! Then we ordered an order of fajita, enchilada, salmon dish, and seafood paella... all of them were excellent, especially the seafood paella.. it was better than what I had in Spain! Go figure!.. All in all it was an excellent experience, very nice restaurant indeed! Pros: Food, ambiance! more

This past weekend, some friends and I met at Table Mesa for our ladies night get together. This place is great! We ordered some margaritas and mojitoes, they were excellent. Our server was very attentive to our needs and she suggested that we try the fajitas and the seabass dish. Which we ordered, we also got beef enchilada, grilled fish tacos, and the duck dish.. everything was just excellent. The place is beautifully decorated and has a great ambiance for get togethers, it is not as pretentious as Tamayo, and much nicer than champps, or buca di beppo next door. This place is now our favorites! For anyone that likes to enjoy great food, friendly service and have a place with great ambiance needs to check this place out! Pros: Food, service and ambiance more

Wow.....what a complete waste of restaurant space! I work nearby this restaurant and was excited to try a new mex joint, unfortunately my excitement was very short lived. My take on this place is that it's way overpriced for the quality-lacking food they serve, I think they are trying way too hard to turn Mexican food into some high end dining experience. I had a lunch order of enchiladas for about $14.00 and it was delivered with some funky chocolate mole sauce that the menu neglected to mention ""big thumbs down"". I think they may give Casa Bonita's a run for their money, but if you are looking for good Mexican, drive right on past this place! The only positive........the service was pretty good and the staff was real friendly! more

We went to Table Mesa to chill, this place is da bomb... we had a great time, the bartender guy was cool, hooked us up with shots.. it's cool place to chill.. me and my boys are coming again this weekend to hangout... rock on!!!! Pros: cool place Cons: need some nice looking girls.. more

My husband and some friends got together at Table Mesa this past Friday, we got thre around 5:40pm ish and was just in time to catch happy hours, I got their house wine for only $3 a glass, my husband got the margarita which was really good! \r \r We ended up ordering the fajitas, salmon, burritos, and nachos... everything was good. Our waiter was quite friendly and constantly checking up on us, I was just reading some of the reviews people left regarding the service, which was pretty interesting, because we didn't face that problem. Also our bill was around $85 for 4 people with drinks, not sure what people were ordering. Then, again, I always check the prices before I order my meal. \r \r Anyways, to be fair I thought the place was pretty good, especially their top shelf margarita. Although it was my husband drink, but I drank most of it. I liked Table Mesa for their food, margarita, and would definitely return for more. Pros: food, drinks, happy hours Cons: nothing I can think of more

My wife and I met a couple-friend and their 2 children for dinner at Table Mesa on 4/25/2008. When we arrived, we stood waiting for about 2 minutes while the hostess and an employee were in a conversation. Neither acknowledge we were there. A courtesy ""I will be with you in just a moment"" would have changed my initial impression. I finally saw my friends seated so we sat ourselves.\r \r Our waitress was fairly prompt in asking for a drink order. As we enjoyed our drinks, we reviewed the menu and this is where it started getting bad.\r \r We started our group dining with the queso/chips and chips/salsa selections. The queso was delivered first, with enough chips for 2 people at most. We asked for another order, which we never received.\r \r My wife and I then ordered the tortilla soup. When it arrived, it was watered down with hardly any taste. No spoons came with it so we had to ask for them. When the spoons arrived, they were the smallest I'd ever seen, and mine had the end of it ground up from the garbage disposal. It was like eating soup with a thimble\r \r My friend ordered the seafood burrito. After about 10 minutes the waitress came to the table and said they don't have a seafood burrito. She rattled off what they do have, including the Burrito del Mar. Del Mar in Spanish means ""from the sea""!\r \r The kid?s meals were delivered with no spoons. We had to ask twice to get them.\r \r My wife and I ordered tapas, which were horrible. We've eaten tapas at the 9th Door downtown which are as good as they get. We decided to start drinking more to numb the experience. Our drink order sat at the bar for at least 15 minutes (I could see the drinks!), and the place was only 20% full!\r \r Our total bill was $180.00 (we should have drank even more to numb this surprise).\r \r We would not go back to Table Mesa even if we had certificates for free dinners. If they are open through the summer I will be shocked. Bad service, bad food, and high prices.\r \r more

A group of us was looking for places to celebrate family birthday, we didn't want any chain restaurants so we decided on Table Mesa. Soon as we walked in we noticed a beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere! We were greeted by a nice host who showed us to a table that is near the windows.\r \r Immediately we orderer the margritas and mojitoes, man they were yummy! It was really good! then we ordered the appetizers and soups.. Didn't really care for the black bean soup.. I thought it was bland, but the appetizer was awesome!! especially the empanadas! \r \r Main course we had the seabass, salmon, and fajitas.. they were out of this world! Especially the seabass! my girlfriend didn't care fore seafood, she tried a small bite she even commented on how great the seabass was. After the meal couple of us ordered some desserts, which were very good.\r \r Overall it is a great place with great food, I would highly recommend this joint to people who wants to try something that is more than just your typical chain restaurants! I would be there after work everyday just for their margaritas! Pros: Everything else! Especially the mojitoes and margaritas! Seabass! Cons: didn't care for the black bean soup more

My husband and I recently tried Table Mesa for the first time. When we went inside we noticed that it was not very crowded (on a Sat. night) but we had to wait around for a few minutes before someone greeted us. After we were seated it took a long time to get water and even longer to place our order. We thought the menu was way overpriced and a little uninspired so we decided to just order drinks and appetizers. We ordered the chorizo quesadilla and nachos. After an eternity our waitress brought our order, but brought queso fundido instead of nachos. She said she would fix the mistake and put a rush on the nachos, so we scarfed down the quesadilla. It had very lttle chorizo in it, and I don't think it was really chorizo anyway, although I'm not sure what it was. Finally our nachos arrived and we sat in stunned silence. The menu claims that the nachos come with queso oaxaca, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, black beans and a choice of chicken or pork. Ours had pork, sour cream, a few chunks of chopped tomato and some runny yellow cheese that looked like Cheez Whiz. Queso oaxaca is a white Mexican cheese, this was definitely not that. We informed our waitress of our dissatisfaction and another waitress came over. Both seemed to not know what was supposed to come on the nachos. One of the waitresses was also clad a little too scantily for someone who handles my food. We asked to speak to the manager, who was nice but made excuses and blamed the waitress, and we left with the nachos and our drinks taken off the bill. We are by no means picky eaters and this is the first time we have ever complained to the manager. The food and service truly sucked. The place has potential-I loved the classic salsa songs they were playing and the inside was decorated nicely. We, however, will not be going back. Pros: Music Cons: Everything else more

My friends and I were down in the Aspen Grove Center Shopping and we saw this restaurant, so we decided to have dinner there.. The bartender makes the best mojitoes!! It was so refreshing and I tried their tuna ceviche and seabass entree... it was out of this world! Kudos!! Ask for for the Raspberry Mojito it was the best! \r \r great place for us to hangout and great food, I wish there are more places like this in Littleton. Pros: Drinks and food Cons: Parking more

A friend had recommended Table Mesa, so arranged to meet a group of friends for dinner. I was embarassed to have chosen this place. The service was extremely SLOW- we had a large party and had made a reservation in advance, so they knew we were coming. Restaurant was not busy .The food was overpriced. I had the chicken mole and hubby had the pork burrito. Main dish was descent, but each dish came just with a glob of red colored flavorless white rice called 'tomato rice'. In fact, each dish in our large party had the exact same bland rice on the plate, no matter if tacos, fish, chicken or burrito. Had the chocolate cake for desert that claimed to have Kahlua sauce and Kahlua creme, but came without sauce and no hint of Kahlua. Cream sauce tasted a bit sour. \r \r Pros: not sure of any\r Cons: slow service, overpriced, food lacked charisma and flavor\r Would not recommend and would not return. Cons: Service more

I have frequent this restaurant, and I really think this is an excellent place for family.. we have two children and the restaurant has a good selection of kids menus and the food has always been excellent. We love the magarita there, it is so good! The service is good, and the food is great. the only thing is on weekend you probably wanted to make a reservation, because it can be crowded. Kudos! Please keep up the good work. Pros: good food, and service Cons: it can be crowded on weekends more

After reading reviews of Table Mesa, my husband and I decided to make a reservation and give this new restaurant a try. Upon entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted by a hostess. We decided to sit in a corner booth as we like kind like a quiet setting. Upon browsing the menu, we have notice that this restaurant has a great wine selection, and an awesome seafood menu. At first we thought this place will be more of a typical mexican restaurant, but to our delight the menu is more than your typical mexican fare. There are nice Spanish dishes, cuban dishes along with some tapas items. \r \r All in all, the service was great and food is awesome! definitely try the mahi and the duck! It is hard to find a unique restaurant among the chain restaurants nowadays, we definitely recommend this place for everyone who wants more than just the typical chain restaurant food. Pros: great food and service, one of its kind Cons: parking is kind of tricky more

On a whim, my family and I thought we'd give Table Mesa a shot. We were immediately met by a host who showed us to our table, and the service, which was good, proved to be our only positive experience. After we were settled, we noticed the asian cuisine influence permeated the restaurant (we thought we were in the wrong place), down to the music piping through the restaurant. The menu was fine, and our food was OK, although there was no hint of either lime or cilantro in the lime-cilantro rice, and we were served what must have been simply steamed rice. The refried beans were from a can, and the tortilla chips were from the store. My young son ordered a kid's meal, which appeared to be OK at first glance (although it was served in a bento box, which was more humorous than anything). However, as my wife and I were speaking our little one noticed a fruit fly in the fruit; we took a closer look at his meal and the fruit was in terrible shape. Although I've never eaten in a restaurant that copied the previous cuisine right down to the music, I understand that it probably happens; however, this restaurant should give some effort to distinguish itself in some way. The final touch was paying for our lunch, it was rather expensive for 2 adults and a 2-year old child. I think for paying such a hefty price for lunch, we expect more. Our mistake, we won't be back. Pros: Service Cons: Quality of ingredients, strange ambience, value more

My wife and I went to Table Mesa after we heard good things about it from our neighbors, boy were we in for a surpise! We didn't expect to find true authentic ceviche from this joint. Ceviche was amazing, my wife had the sea bass entree which was very savory and flavorful, I had the salmon which was spicy and great! We will definitely be coming back for more.. please add another magrita for me as well! Pros: Food, magaritas, Ceviches Cons: can't think of any more

Well I figured I would try this place out based on the other rave reviews. Not a good idea! It is a sub-par restaurant with overpriced food. To begin with, the house margaritas are boasted that they are made with their own concoction of sweet and sour mix. Well whoever made ours must have forgot the sweet part because it was like sucking on a lemon. They were way to sour - thank goodness for the salt on the rim, that is the only way I made it through the whole thing at a cost of $7. Now onto the food. The chips and salsa appetizer came with about 3 teaspoons of salsa, and I can get better salsa at an authentic mexican restaurant for free. The cheese and potato enchiladas were decent, but nothing to rave about. And again, they came with about 3 teaspoons of unflavorful beans, and no flavor rice. If I am going to pay $15 for an entree, I expect there to be something on the plate to eat! So I wish I had something good to say about the service, but that was horrible too. Every time we needed something at our table we had to literally flag our server down. And to boot, there were only 3 tables in the WHOLE restaurant. He was oblivious and unexperienced! Another negative, as if we need more, were the bathrooms. The womens bathroom mirrored looked as if it had not been cleaned in 2 weeks. It was covered with water marks and streaks from where someone did a half-ass job of trying to clean it. The vanity also was filthy and it was obvious they do not do hourly bathroom checks at this joint! The last kicker of the whole experience was the disgusting sewer smell that kept wafting by our table every time the kitchen door opened. Oh that too- the whole restaurant is empty and they choose to put us at a booth 5 feet from the kitchen door.\r This place will not stay in business! Dont waste your time or money going there! We could of had better food, drinks and service at half the price next door at Champps. Cons: Too many too list! more

I have to say that the food and service are spectacular! The menu is full of options and the chef adds artistic expression to every savory bite! His creativity and willingness to work with your palet (just ask) is something you rarely see at Denver Restaurants. The service is nothing short of fabulous and the staff treats you as though you are the only one in the restaurant. Every experience at Table Mesa has been positive and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking fine dining! Kudos to Jamil and his staff for every wonderful dining experience~ more

We stopped by just out of curiosity and discovered an absolutely wonderful place. We enjoyed sushi quality fish for our cevche with a combo of shrimp, sea bass and mahi-mahi in the sour orange and oregano sauce. DANG! I was impressed. Our waiter suggested the lamb shank for my wife (out of about four other choices) and she was in heaven. I had the Lechon pork which is about as perfect as a pork lover could hope for. Desert was the tres leches cake with caramelized bananas. Our waiter suggested a desert wine (sorry that I do not remember the brand) and urged us to try it with the bananas. Once again- DANG! I really hope these guys make it in such a suburban location. If this place was in LoDo or the (gag) South Pearl district, we would not be able to get a seat. Take the Light Rail to Aspen Grove and check this place out. This is a great place with some cool folks trying to help a chef live his dream. The food is outstanding and I would say that thinking out of the box a bit might reap some big rewards! Pros: As you can tell, it had a high DANG factor Cons: Parking can be a bit tricky with Bucca de Beppo as a neighbor more

I can't say enough about Table Mesa. My husband and I went to this site when it was Kyoto and were mildly impressed. We went back a few months later to realize that it was now Table Mesa. Being that my husband is a Texan, born in New Mexico, and also a chef, finding Mexican food that he is pleased with in Colorado is needless to say, difficult. Around the time of our first visit, we were engaged and on the lookout for a rehearsal dinner spot. After one meal at Table Mesa we were absolutely sold. We were greeted warmly. Our server was extremely attentive but not overbearing. She was very capable of making recommendations. Overall we had an amazing experience. We decided right then and there that this was going to be the place for our rehearsal dinner. We spoke that day with Jamil, the general manager, and set it up. We were able to choose our own menu and Jamil worked with us on a wine menu that would complement the meal. Nearly one month ago, my husband and I welcomed our friends and family to join us at Table Mesa for our last meal before our wedding. Jamil, as always, was there to ensure that our experience was memorable. Everything was perfect. The meal chef Roeder prepared for us was delicious, the servers were attentive and friendly, and a great time was had by all of our out of town guests. My husband and I plan to frequent Table Mesa often. They have an amazing pumpkin soup during the winter, and I can't wait to see what seasonal changes will happen for the spring. Even my husband can't say enough about it. Coming from a chef, that is a big deal. In a tepid sea of chain restaurants and sub par food, Table Mesa is a breath of fresh air. Pros: service, food, location, sunday brunch Cons: None! more
