I drove down Central countless times and never noticed it. Now, I can't stop pointing it out to others!\n\nI LOVE the vibe there. As soon as you walk through the double doors, people are scattered throughout the numerous couches, chairs, stools, tables, and futons they have, each with their own story. You have to seat yourself after you order your own food, so if you want a sit down dinner with some peace and quiet, maybe this isn't the best place. I still go on date nights because I love the atmosphere and the energy. Sometimes it's so packed that you have to sit next to a perfect stranger, but that's never bothered me. Going to Lux means being open - be open and you'll get the most out of your experience.\n\nThe only grievance I have is that I wish they served breakfast longer because their menu is perfect! I swear by their biscuits and chorizo gravy, it is to DIE for. Their bacon is great by itself, too. Their black cherry Italian soda with cream my choice of drink, and their pastries change from day to day. I love being surprised with their choices each time I go. Place your dishes and cups in the plastic bin near the kitchen on the way out - clean your immediate area, place everything in that bin, and they'll take care of the rest. Again, some people hate that part of it, but I love it. I feel like I'm part of it all.\n\nMaybe it's \"hipster\" to some, but to me, it's a great representation of Downtown Phoenix: cool, relaxed, independent, yummy, colorful."^^ .
