| - L'Gros Luxe is a really fun place! Inexpensive tasty food, fun drinks, and a hopping atmosphere!
We were bringing the baby along, so we got there early enough to make sure we could score one of the booths and have our meal before the crowds arrived. It worked out perfectly! We had lots of place for our party of 5 (and a half!), everyone was able to drink something they enjoyed, we picked a bunch of plates to share, and everyone was happy. And now that I know what it's like, I'll definitely be back with the baby on a calm afternoon, for a coffee and a grilled cheese (or who am I kidding? more likely a Ceasar!).
I noticed that some of the other reviews mentioned that the food wasn't complicated or fancy. Nope, it isn't, but it's tasty and delicious and cheap, and perfect for munching while socializing with friends.
I also noticed that the restaurant isn't classified as kid-friendly, and I need to expand on that a bit, because I'm big on bringing my kid all over with me (within reason). While it isn't kid friendly in the traditional sense, you shouldn't be afraid to bring your kid here either, provided you use common sense. Don't go once it starts to get too busy, it gets crowded and loud and has more of a bar atmosphere than a restaurant and instead go earlier when it's less crowded and calmer. I didn't see any high chairs, but they do have colouring books and crayons mixed in with the magazines on the rack near the entrance. There's a kid menu, and most of the regular menu items are smaller and easy to share. If your kiddo still needs a change table, one of the two bathrooms has a long counter that works perfect as a change table.
