| - Love, LOVE, LoVe!!!
I decided to go with a chain in an effort to relieve some of my worries of never having been to the restaurant that was going to be hosting my wedding reception. And while it was part of a chain, it was nice to know (a little) of what to expect.
Because I used it for my reception I'm reviewing its private dining...
My then husband-to-be and I first saw this Grand Lux the day before our wedding when we went to pay off our balance. (I didn't want to have to worry about this the day of.) We met with the manager who was so welcoming, and not in the fake-y way (that I myself am often accused of :) We only had a total of 15 guests make their way to Vegas, and I'm sure that this size of private party is peanuts to this establishment but you'd never know it from the way the staff treated us. After paying the remainder of our bill, I asked to see the room where our reception would be help, and the manager took us THROUGH the kitchen to reach the room. The kitchen staff welcomed us, but also didn't seem surprised to see patrons off the street (and after 8+ hours of traveling) in the back of the house. Says a lot about how the restaurant is ran.
Our reception was perfection. We only had one server, I'm embarrassed I don't remember her name (probably b/c she made sure my hand always had a fresh glass of wine in it) but she was amazing. She kept everything running smoothly, and everyone extremely happy.
The food was great, our guests had the option of a chicken madreidra, miso salmon, or pasta fresca, and I heard everything I never had the chance to try was perfect.
For the elevated level of service, quality of food, and sophisticated ambiance, as destination wedding bride, I feel that the Grand Lux Cafe went above and beyond in value. Especially in Vegas!
Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
