Grand Lux Cafe
Grand Lux Cafe is one of the best places on the Vegas Strip for comfort food. This chain features an elegant, yet casual vibe, and was started by the founders of The Cheesecake Factory. The first location opened at the Venetian, and today you can find locations throughout the country. The fun ambiance, eclectic menu, and beautiful design make it a good choice for a laid-back night out on The Strip. Oh, and the best part of all - it's open 24 hours!
Food
The food at Grand Lux cafe is so good. If you are a fan of The Cheesecake Factory, then you definitely need to check Grand Lux Cafe while in Vegas. The food is even better, yet you still get the gigantic portions.
There are so many tempting appetizers on the menu. I highly recommend the Double Stuffed Potato Spring Rolls, which are basically mashed potato stuffed into a spring roll and topped with sour cream, cheese, smoked bacon, and green onion. What a treat - I've never had anything like them before! Other tempting selections include fried calamari, spinach artichoke dip, and chicken lettuce wraps.
In terms of entrees, the choices really are endless just like The Cheesecake Factory. Choose from a healthy veggie filled salad, a wide range of specialty pizzas and pastas, deluxe burgers and sandwiches, steaks and seafoods. And if you have room, you can top off the meal with a delicious dessert like molten chocolate cake, red velvet cake, or a brownie sundae. And yes, they still have a few cheesecake selections (not the enormous menu of The Cheesecaake Factory though) - try the Godiva dark chocolate for a true indulgent treat!
Grand Lux Cafe is one of those great general restaurants which can work in basically any situation. Whether you are looking to celebrate a special occasion, take a date out to a nice restaurant, or just enjoy a few late night snacks after a long night out on The Strip, Grand Lux cafe will work in any situation.
Service
Service here is fantastic - friendly and efficient. Drinks are always refilled, plates cleared right away, and the food served hot and fresh.
Atmosphere
The setting at Grand Lux Cafe is refined, yet still casual, so it can work as either a fancy or casual night out, depending on what you are looking for. Grand Lux has that upscale casual feeling of The Cheesecake Factory. The space is beautifully decorated and spacious. The food is surprisingly cheap considering the elegant surroundings.
There is also a nice patio seating area where you can overlook all the casino action. This is the perfect spot to enjoy some great comfort food and leisurely people watching.
Final Remarks
Grand Lux Cafe is a good choice for anyone visiting Vegas. It's affordable, open 24 hours, luxurious without feeling stuffy, and features an eclectic menu - what else could you ask for a fabulous Las Vegas restaurant?!
