| - I come here probably once every trip home to Vegas. I don't know why..it's just a SOLID place to go. The last two trips home I've really enjoyed this particular location.
WHY? ....drumroll....
Because they have BEIGNETS! It is the ONLY Grand Lux in Vegas to have Beignets. My bff Ame and I absolutely love them here.
It's a generous serving with about 8-9 beignets and three sauces: Raspberry, chocolate, and creme fraiche.
Ame and I always end up mixing the raspberry with the creme fraiche each time. I recommend you do the same. It will change your life.
As for their regular food, everything here is average to delicious, so you really can't go wrong.
Their salads are divine, as these are SERIOUS salads with great combos of ingredients. I particularly recommend the Asian Chicken Salad and Polynesian salad (the jicama and macadamia nuts with mango..yum).
Chicken Lettuce Wraps are yummy as well, and their volcano shrimp is delicious.
Over the years it seems like they've changed the coating to their Grand Fried Calamari.. it used to be rock shrimp, zuccini, and onions fried in a thin coating of batter, but now the coating is a lot thicker and more tempuralike. Ame and I are not fans of the new formulation. Still tasty, but not the same.
Love the place for a quick bite. Service is always fantastic 100% of the time. Ame and I typically come here to catch up on girl time, and the servers are always gracious to keep pouring us water and refilling my tea/coffee when they don't have to (we always take care of them, of course for their kindness :). Seriously - they're always the nicest servers I've seen in town.
Prices may seem a dollar or two higher than your average diner, but this isn't your average diner, and plus it's at the Palazzo. Duh.
Come. Get the Beignets. Be happy. And mix the creme fraiche and raspberry sauces.
