Grand Lux Cafe

Service is okay. The price you pay for food quality and taste is not worth it.

I want to give Grand Lux four stars but the lack of focus from our waitress left a sour note in my most recent visit.

I couldn't decide between the pot roast or spicy ginger beef. Our waitress said both dishes are flavorful and the portions are similar, but recommended the spicy ginger beef - so that's what I went with. The dish was absolutely delicious. A healthy amount of spice and flavor. Every ingredient complimented every other ingredient. Normally I only eat half of my food when I go to Grand Lux and The Cheesecake Factory, but I could've happily finished my meal in one sitting. I had to force myself to stop eating because I knew we'd ordered dessert.

The bad: I understand that Sunday lunch/brunch is a busy time for places like GLC, but our waitress forgot the straws I asked for, the grated cheese that we requested during our meal, and didn't check on us. We had to flag her down whenever we needed something. Also, there was a bit of a wait for our dessert, even though we ordered it with our meal. I'm not a stickler when it comes to service but less-than-great service can leave a bad taste on an otherwise good meal.

Lux is either a hit or a miss, there's always a wait so plan ahead. When they do mess up an order the managers are always apologetic and try to rectify the problem. It's just a nuisance having to deal with that so often.

Their baked to order desserts are amazing.

The service was great... I had the bento box, with the Caesar salad, vegetable soup, chicken cordon bleu, with broccolinni on the side... Thought I would need salt and pepper but I didn't due to everything being seasoned perfectly...

No complaints from me

The first time that my daughter took me to eat there, it was last spring and it was a wonderful experience for all my senses: the décor, the food, the soft chatter of the clients, the very formal and warmth of the waiters made me feel as if I stepped into a relative's dining room instead of a public restaurant. I felt cared for and pampered in a special way. Thank you. Great service.
