| - Grand Lux Cafe at the Palazzo has over 200 items on the menu, but everything tastes great and is made fresh daily. Their drinks come with mouthwatering garnishes and taste great. I have had the luxury of trying almost everything on the menu and will attempt to describe everything I have tried.
New Orleans Beignets: This is a bake-to-order dessert that is available for breakfast as well as throughout the day. The beignet is a French-style fried doughnut that is light and fluffy and comes with four sauces on the side: Jack Daniel's Creme Anglaise sauce, Raspberry sauce, Chocolate sauce, and Cinnamon Sugar.
Jamaican Pork Tenderloin: This dish comes out with two fried wonton chips looking like pig's ears to identify the dish and comes with the pork in the middle (chili-rubbed) over sweet mashed potatoes with white rice and black beans sitting over a black pepper sauce. The black pepper sauce is the only thing spicy in the dish, although not too spicy for my taste. Bring on the spicy!
Pasta Telephono: Penne with melted cheese that creates a telephone cord (who has landline phones with curly cords these days?) when you pick it up with a fork, yum!
Sunday Night Pasta: Short rib, chunks of beef, and ground beef go into the mix of spaghettini. Although surely inspired by leftovers, this dish doesn't taste like leftovers at all. It is truly yummy and especially when it came out piping hot! It is served all nights of the week.
Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad: This dish has pistacchios in it but I love it for that and the goat cheese as well. The beets are seasonally different in colors, so they may come purple or yellow. It's served with a hazelnut-citrus vinaigrette.
Belgian Waffle: The waffle comes sprinkled with powdered sugar and hot maple syrup on the side. It's simple and delicious, almost purist.
Express Breakfast Bar: A selection of yogurt, granola, wheat or white bread (there's a toaster for people to toast their own bread), English Muffin, or Bagels (ask for the cream cheese, it's not at the bar...boo), fresh fruit, a made-to-order omelette bar, bacon, scrambled eggs (probably made from powder), hashbrowns, and some small breakfast pastries like scones/croissants/cheese danishes/streuseled pastries. It includes juices and coffee and some other drinks, possibly milk and fountain drinks.
Hot Chocolate: Probably the BEST hot chocolate I have ever had in my life, with no sediments, made with whipped foam on top and some rich whipped cream and a swirl of hot chocolate, but the drink is not too sweet and not too bland.
Wild Mushroom Burger: Not a burger with mushrooms as I first thought, but a patty made of mushrooms and tasting so good that I almost would turn vegetarian (almost!). Sesame seeds come on the bun and there's a side of bibb lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with an avocado cream sauce, or was it basil aioli? Anyway, it was good!
Vietnamese Chicken Summer Rolls: eight pieces comes with Thai BBQ sauce and Peanut sauce with the chicken, slivers of carrots and lettuce throughout the summer roll (rice flour wrap) and ready to be dipped! I would ask for some hot sauce, but that's just me.
Island Cooler: non-alcoholic, made with pineapple, mango, and some other juice, tastes really yummy and comes with an edible garnish of strawberry, pineapple, and lime.
WARNING: PORTIONS ARE GARGANTUAN!~ SHARE SHARE SHARE!
I gave this place a five because I feel that it is a very caring place with the servers not upselling anything and being honest about portion sizes. I also think that the atmosphere is very grand but still casual and the food is of great value. You get more than what you paid for.
