"It took 15 minutes to get our first drinks. I guess there was only 3 servers that showed up, because it was the first beautiful day outside. But the server made up for it and the food was very good."

"Had a wonderful double date night. Every person at my table enjoyed the food and the service. Our waitress, Shawna, was a gem. She allowed us to try a few pasta sauces few before choosing, suggested an excellent bottle of wine and when I asked about the prime rib steak she told me (up sell) me to their off menu prime rib on the bone. I asked for it medium and it came out perfect. No complaints as usually. Great dinning experience."

"Took some friends out to dinner on Saturday night as a thank you and used Open Table for our reservation. We arrived 10 minutes early and were still seated right away. My husband and I shared the filet mignon with broccoli, salad and baked potato and there was plenty of food for us both. Our friends ordered the white fish and grilled chicken. All the food was very good as well as the bread that was brought to our table with the salads. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu and beer selection. They had a pretty good selection of beer on tap and the other drinks that were ordered were good as well. There was a two piece band playing in the bar, but we didn't stay to hear them. Overall it was a nice experience."

"Had the whitefish and my date had the pot pie. The fish was low quality but they did a great job of adding flavor in the kitchen that made it passable, but the pot pie was delicious. It was a quiet, nice restaurant and I surprised her with flowers, the staff were very accommodating and was a good overall restaurant."

"This was a birthday dinner for my husband and we took 4 kids, ages 7, 9, 11, and 13. The service was wonderful. The waitress was amazing. She was extremely busy, yet got us everything we wanted/needed in a timely manner. She was helpful with presenting nightly specials and menu questions. We brought home a fair amount of left-overs in order to fit in dessert. The tuxedo cake and creme brulee were fabulous! The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked and the seafood pasta was outstanding. Very fresh and delicious."

"Last minute decision to go there but it is one of our favorites. Splurged on the appetizer - lobster bisque so went easy on the entree, spaghetti with meat sauce. Both were very good. Would definitely recommend Mesquite Creek to everyone."

"Food was very good, I had one of the specials (swordfish) and my wife had the chicken pot pie off the menu. Server was friendly and seemed knowledgeable, but wasn't very attentive. We waited almost 10 minutes after we sat down to even be acknowledged and then waited about 10 minutes after our plates were cleared by a bus boy to be offered desert or our check. All and all experience was ok, which I would expect more from a meal that was nearly $100."

"The food was good. Jeff our server was attentive but not overbearing. We ordered the potato wedges - there huge and tasty.
We shared the 22oz. rib eye dinner. It was more than ample for us to share with 2 side salads."
