About:Global cuisine reigns supreme at Grand Lux Cafe. Burgers, pasta, pizza, giant salads, and meat dishes ranging from wiener schnitzel to Jamaican pork tenderloin grace the wide-reaching menu. The Grand Lux Cafe is also an excellent destination for brunch on Saturday or Sunday mornings, with a menu that includes a number of different egg dishes as well as brioche French toast, Belgian waffles, and traditional buttermilk pancakes. One thing that you won't want to miss at Grand Lux Cafe is the dessert. As a sister restaurant to the Cheesecake Factory, it should come as no surprise that a number of cheesecakes are available for you to choose from. However, if you aren't a cheesecake fan, or are in the mood for something different, there are plenty of other options to tempt your palate. Several desserts must be chosen when you order your entree, as they are baked to order. The molten chocolate cake and warm rustic apple pie are two such desserts that are definitely worth trying. If the sweet tooth hits after you have finished your meal, no worries, as there are still plenty of fresh-baked cakes or pies to choose from. Chocoholics will definitely not want to miss the fudge cake collision;a huge portion of rich chocolate cake slathered with hot fudge and vanilla ice cream.

    I had pasta, very bland and boring for $15. The waiter forgot to put in our order which made our wait an extra 45 minutes for food...not cool. We were late getting to the parking meter, luckily we didn't get a ticket. The key lime pie was good but $9 a slice isn't realistic, how about you cut the piece in 1/2 and charge $4.50. We're fat enough we don't need a 3-serving piece of pie people!

    For the price...I wasn't impressed. Visiting friends in the windy city and the waiter "accidentally erased the order and then forgot what was ordered. Hope there is no inconvience that it will be a few minutes longer then..." Um, yes. It is a problem. We have to pay for parking, walk a million miles, and drive to another state in a few minutes, but a $40 steak is worth waiting for, right? My mahi mahi was a little to done for my liking and my friend didn't even want to box up her pasta. My friends said how great the place usually is, but I wasn't not satisified.

    I never said anything about this place being great by the way! I never heard of it, it's all Pete's fault! At least they picked up the tip!
