| - My mom and I went to lunch here last week and were pleasantly surprised. From start to finish, the experience was great!
Parking is awful, especially at lunch time, but the mall valet service is free with a validated ticket from the restaurant. Moments after being seated, a manager walked by and saw the valet ticket sitting on the table. She took it and was back in less than a minute with the validation stamp. I always forget to get validations, so it was really nice that she took such initiative.
Our waitress was really friendly, attentive and patient. She knew the menu very well and didn't mind giving recommendations or answering any of our questions.
I ordered the lunch "Bento Box" which, contrary to what I first assumed, resembles the Japanese offering in name only. The "box" contains a salad, a bowl of soup and whatever the main dish might be at the moment. On the day I went it was beef medallions with a mushroom, onion sauce served with herb french fries. I chose the cream of chicken soup, but only after she invited me to try the different soup offerings before making my decision.
There was a ridiculous amount of food!! The salad had blue cheese dressing on it (which I didn't realize) so I only had a few bites. The soup was very tasty, but so filling. The main dish was delicious. The sauce served with the beef was very flavorful. I wish I could have had some mashed potatoes drenched with it. Mmm. The fries were nothing special. My mom ordered the deluxe breakfast sandwich which she really enjoyed.
There are a few dessert items that take 25-30 minutes to prepare so you have to order them when you order your meal. We decided to go with the New Orleans Beignets. If I would have known how full I was going to be after eating my meal and a few pieces of the delicious bread they served to start, I wouldn't have ordered the beignets, but I am glad we got to try them. After seeing the large portions of everything else, I wasn't surprised when the waitress brought out a huge basket containing about 6-8 beignets. They were yummy, along with the sauces served with them, but after having beignets at the original Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans this summer, I was slightly disappointed.
Grand Lux is a fine option for a meal and offers many choices sure to please most anyone. The menu is vast, but not quite as overwhelming as Cheesecake Factory's encyclopedia-sized menu. The most important thing to remember when dining here is to bring a hefty appetite or lots of friends!
