| - I went here for lunch yesterday with a friend. I had never been in the Palazzo before, nor had I ever eaten at Grand Lux Cafe, so I was super excited to experience both. The cafe is easy to find coming off of the parking garage elevators, it's a quick jaunt across the casino floor. We were sat right away by a pleasant hostess and received a booth as requested. The decor is beautiful in this cafe and the ceiling is simply stunning. It is a work of art, very beautiful.
Here's some pros & cons during my visit:
PRO's
1.) Large food selection
2.) Delicious, complimentary bread basket
3.) Great wait staff - courteous, helpful and kind
4.) Fantastic pot roast French fry appetizer (I recommend), yummy Manhattan salad and penne with a silky, smooth alfredo sauce
5.) Huge portions, easy to share
CONS's
1.) Food brought out wrong the first time and had to wait while they remade it
2.) Very pricey - think upscale, Cheesecake Factory
3.) Large food selection - I spent 20 minutes flipping through this huge menu trying to decide on something to eat
4.) The server we got was not knowledgeable on the menu. I asked simple questions like "what pasta does this dish come with?" and he didn't know.
All-in-all, I would definitely visit again for lunch, however I don't see myself coming for dinner service. I can see how this is a great spot for tourists or hotel guests though. Make sure you have more than a 1 hour lunch before eating here. It does take a bit of time.
