| - Summary: Fantastic! Better than I remembered of the one in Beverly Hills. Great food, selection, service, and value. Nothing to complain about; only compliments.
My buddy and I were in town for CES and in need of a no-reservations-needed dinner at around 8pm on a Friday. I had been to the Beverly Hills Grand Lux numerous times in years past and always enjoyed it, but it never really stood out as a great restaurant to me. When I called this Grand Lux there was no wait time, so we made our way there from Caesar's and were immediately seated.
We ordered a couple of drinks (I ordered the house Chardonnay, which was by Beringer and was a great deal at $7 and really good), looked over the menu and decided to share a few items. The three we chose were:
Short rib sliders - Four little sliders on brioche buns, stuffed with super tender and flavorful braised short rib and topped with a creamy horseradish sauce. Fantastic!
Avocado-Chipotle Cheeseburger - A pretty massive cheeseburger. Messy and kind of hard to eat, but with delicious ingredients. A nice kick, too.
Spicy Carnitas Sandwich - An excellent mix of textures and flavors. Crisp on the outside and super tender on the inside. A great sauce was provided with this one and it was delicious.
Each of the entrees came with a side salad, so for around $35 we had a great quality meal and were satisfied with the quantity of food, too. Can't recommend this place enough.
