I think this place tries hard to be just as I described in my review title. They succeed on all three counts too. We asked for and were seated at a booth overlooking Michigan Avenue and I'd highly recommend it as the view is very entertaining. The menu is very original with a wide variety of cuisines to choose from,... more

Reminds me a bit of the Cheesecake Factory in terms of the interior and the fact that the portions are very large. My garden omelet was just okay (the eggs were a little rubbery), but the warm beignets were heavenly! more

Went for dinner and found the place amazing, the decor was really over the top. The food was great also, The Carbonaro was fantastic. Some say it is overpriced but I did not see it. My wife and had a drink each, two entrees, and we split a dessert for $76. That is not bad for Chicago. more

We had breakfast at the Lux on Sat. and Sun. mornings of our anniversary weekend in Chicago. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and there are several areas with different ambiances. The ceiling details are amazingly beautiful and elegan. From many tables you can look down on Michigan Ave. The breakfast was great, especially the crab and asparagus omelet. The lunch... more

I was somewhat impressed with the interior design, but as for the food, I was as impressed. I had the Salisbury Chopped Steak. I felt like it was close to eating a well cooked Meat Loaf. Over all, I thought it was pricey. more

Since I was in Chicago anyway for a convention recently, and it was close to my hotel, I thought I would give them a try. First, I wasn't sure if I was in the right place, as a wedding party were having their pictures taken in the vestibule where you go in. When I got upstairs, I had to ask... more

We ate breakfast at Grand Lux on Saturday (which was excellent) and saw that pastries and other desserts, so we decided to try the dessert on Sunday night. WOW. The creme brulee was outstanding. Will be back. more

Excellent food, terrific atmosphere, and great value made our visit to the Grand Lux a very enjoyable experience. This restaurant has a very large and diverse menu; something for just about everyone to enjoy. While it is not in-expensive, it does provide a great deal of value for the money. All three of us who ate there recently thoroughly enjoyed... more
