Mesa 15 is more a posh and trendy restaurant than a tapas bar! It is a 2 floor restaurant with a visible kitchen, which is sealed behind the glass. I have often visited the restaurant on weekdays, where the service is alright. BUT NOT TODAY, it was bloody, absolutely and surely dreadful. It was a busy Friday; the waitress brought us 2 glasses of hot water. But please, it wasn’t my fault that you gave me a glass of hot water instead cold water, which I ordered, and certainly I don’t deserve a “JU
It was a busy Friday; the waitress brought us 2 glasses of hot water. But please, it wasn’t my fault that you gave me a glass of hot water instead cold water, which I ordered, and certainly I don’t deserve a “JUST WAIT OKAY” for your mistake. Maybe I look like a diner who doesn’t eat at a restaurant, after my friend ordered; the waitress packed away the menu and walked away without my order. So I made my order before she left, and she was annoyed, because either she was pmsing or she didn’t have hands to write it down. What a shame that the pretty waitress is brainless.

Gazpacho
On the house, the pure was smooth and fresh, but lacked flavour and seasoning.
Fillc PastryThe puffy pastry was crispy and soft, yet buttery. The filling hardly tasted like tomato, but the gravy went well with the pastry. It was an alright starter.
Slow cooked free range egg with chorizoThe chorizo was diced and mixed with sliced mushroom. Then it was topped with a raw egg to slow cook it, till the egg is about 70% cooked. I loved the combination, the ingredients matched well together and it was perfect to go with slices of bread.
Crab meat cassetoleI am not a big fan of this dish. It felt like I was eating tinned crab meat, lacked the flavour of crab. It wasn’t creamy enough, would prefer if it add more cream, milk, butter and flour. Perhaps, with some mushroom and artichoke to add some dimension to the cassetole. The cereal crumbs was ovened nicely, but lacked the parmesan cheese.
Slow cooked crispy Suckling Pig
This suckling pig was breathtaking. It could have been a nine out of ten dish; seriously the side didn’t match the suckling pig at all. Perhaps I would use squash pure instead of the sweet potato. However, the suckling pig was cook to perfection. The skin was crispy and seasoned with sea salt before serving, while the fat and meat just mixed together somehow. The fat was jelly alike and the meat was very tender, the fat and meat melted together as soon as it touched my mouth. That sensational feeling just linger around your mouth and made you beg for more. Wow, just don’t know what to say anymore.
The quality of food was a mix standard, some are really good, some are just okay, and sometimes the side are wired match. Overall, there are plenty of mouth watering dishes for diners to choose from. It would be a nice restaurant for a gathering or even a date, only if diners are not serving by a brunette European waitress! Post
