| - I have been to DLUX numerous times, a few times for dinner and a few times for brunch and in both large parties and small. Similar to most Madison restaurants, they don't take reservations for small parties and that inevitably leads you to 1 hour+ waits on the weekends. So if you're trying to go here on a weekend night it is best to go early or late to avoid the rush, same goes for brunch. This is a frustrating and pretty unanimous policy for all restaurants in Madison, so just be aware. The atmosphere itself of DLUX is very hip and modern, they keep the lighting low at night with a centrally located bar that is the focal point of the room. But during brunch the place lights up with so much natural light from the front wall of windows.
As for the food, everything I have had on the dinner menu has been on point in terms of taste and quantity. All of the "Sorta burgers" have a lot of different pieces to them that pull together a wonderful taste in every bite. I am huge fan of both falafel and black bean burgers, so if you're a vegetarian these are great options that are chalk full of flavor. I haven't had many of the burgers, but there are certainly a lot of choices that come loaded with toppings, so you really can't go wrong.
One thing that is slightly annoying is the way that the burgers and sorta burgers don't come with a side, realistically just the burger itself isn't going to fill me up so you're probably going to end up getting a side too. It would just be easier if DLUX automatically factored those into the items on the menu. But when you do decide to add on a side item, the sweet potato fries and sriracha mayo are 100% the best choice. The sweet potato fries are some of the best I have ever had (and that is saying a lot because I get them as much as I can) and the sriracha mayo adds so much flavor that you start to realize sweet potato fries should always come with this sauce.
On another note for dinner foods, if you're feeling like going a little healthier and choosing a salad, both the south by southwest and asian noodle salads have my stamp of approval. They give you huge portions so you'll most likely be able to take some home with you and they, too, combine so many ingredients that the taste is fantastic and you'll probably end up eating it all.
My real reason for not giving it five stars is the fact that I wasn't that impressed with their brunch. Yes they do have bottomless mimosas, something that isn't common in Madison, but their only options for food are breakfast sandwiches and potatoes. If you're going for the mimosas then this is definitely a great place to go because you will most certainly get your money's worth. But if you're looking for a delicious brunch place with lots of options like eggs benedict, breakfast burritos, or omelettes, as I usually am, DLUX falls a bit short.
