| - Grateful for friends who suggested DLUX for our 13 year olds birthday dinner.
We look for new places and I was honestly a bit reticent that 'burgers and shakes' might be too mundane to welcome the start of teen years.
Yet from the moment we arrived DLUX felt fun and big city, "ooh, that looks cool" - staff was very friendly and welcoming to family in mix of corporate and casual city diners. Bar was packed creating fun feel and tables were well spaced allowing for the odd 5th chair to fit in nicely. Free shake for birthday girl was nice touch as is free parking.
Drinks - good - though fancy sodas are tough to judge and not just for kids (will the ginger strawberry be too spicy, is the grapefruit lime to sour - yes!). A NOTE TO ALL RESTAURANTS - your eaters are better at judging taste profiles than ingredients, help us by giving a sense of taste not assume we know based on ingredients.. One shake (red velvet) was loved by all , the other (lemon chiffon?) too over powering to be consumed even by the table. Still fun to try.
Food - meat burgers loved by all meat eaters, salmon a little too much garlic in sauce, white fish / shrimp odd texture but tasted good. Fries 'perfect' but a little tough. Chimichurri salad - yummy - needs more seeds, but sharing with table of meat eaters who LOVED the flank steak, really LOVED it - so much flavor.
Agree with others that "general swank" and "keeping it cahz" is trying too hard, no reservations is fine, but so is responding to email requests to check in for big night.
Definitely worth a try!
