My absolute favorite dish is the Sunday Night Pasta!!! It is succulent! The atmosphere is amazing. I love the decor, so fun and unique! The Belgian waffle and syrup is perfection! The architecture is really cool too, very good, the detail is award winning!
This was my first and sadly my last visit to the grand lux cafe. After reading an article that this restaurant was closing, i knew i had to try. After trying the food, i was not disappointed in choosing to come here. The place itself was beautiful. The starters were delicious. Our entrees were delicious. The dessert was delicious. However i will say i was upset that no cookies were available. After reading many reviews i just knew i had to try them and was disappointed when i was told they were out. Overall i had a great experience. If i had to critique anything, the mashed potatoes and macaroni could’ve used a little more flavor for me. Other than that, 7.5/10.
Wonderful dining experience. Great spot with good quality food prepared quickly and decent prices. The location and building is beautiful. Quality service from the moment you walk in. Do make note that their happy hour specials are only available at the bar and not at a table, and it's until 6pm. Will definitely be back for more.
Must must MUST! Flew into Chicago for a quick getaway and will be back here EVERY single time I visit. The food was INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere was beautiful the service was incredible! If you are a foodie like me add this to your list next time you’re in Chicago! The only thing you’ll be disappointed about is not having this in your city!
It’s a really nice location. Right on Michigan Avenue. Reminds me of cheesecake factory. I wonder who copied who.
Unfortunately, the rumor has it that they are closing their doors soon so come visit while you can.
Quick tip:
Our waitress said Don’t get garlic chicken on the menu. Not good.
Today is the last day for this downtown Chicago location. I'm so grateful that I was able to have a final meal here. I have loved this place for years. My now husband had one of our 1st dates at G.L, and we've repeat customers. This is a sad day.
Busy, but didn't have to wait too long for two people. The restaurant was clean and the servers were all friendly and fast. I got the sandwich special, and I enjoyed the BLT, definitely one of the best BLT sandwiches I've had. The broccoli cheese soup was good, not the best, and best eaten relatively quickly so it doesn't get to cold. The salad had a lovely house vinaigrette on it. My mother ordered the caramel chicken lunch special, and I tried a piece, definitely would recommend! It was so delicious! Both meals had a lovely presentation.
Upon arriving the wait time was horrible and the place appeared pretty empty. But my waitress made up for it!! Tatiana was very friendly and was on point. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in with us every time she walked pass. She kept the kids drinks full and even took a moment to chat with them, which made their day!! The food was excellent and it came out pretty quickly!!! Definitely coming back the next time I'm in Chicago it was worth every penny!!!!
The best of our Chicago visit. Excellent location, beautiful art decoration. Food is exquisite with a good variety of entrees at reasonable prices. The salads are well prepared and like the mushroom soup. Been here twice and will gladly return. Attentive and friendly service. Thanks to Bartender Chris and waitress Ruth.
I hate that this restaurant location is closing soon. My first time visiting this restaurant has become my last. However, it was a great experience, and I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to experience the high quality food, service, and atmosphere. The private room experience was top tier.
