We stopped in on a Saturday evening around 7pm and were seated right away, a pleasant surprise. The food & drinks were amazing. We ordered the fried provolone & calamari small plates for appetizers. Both where very good, the sauce that comes with the provolone went very well with the dish. The only negative of these plates was that they calamari did not come with a lemon wedge. It didn't ruin the dish by any means but it would have enhanced the flavor. For dinner we ordered the Chicken Parmesan & Pot Roast. While both of these dishes were very good they both came out very shortly after we received our appetizers. I understand the need to turn over tables quickly but this felt like we were being rushed and forced to choose between finishing our appetizers or letting our dinner get cold. We opted to continue with our appetizers before moving onto our dinners. The good news is they weren't cold enough that we couldn't enjoy them, but I can only imagine how much better they would have been if they were eaten sooner. Another minor disappointment came when the pot roast didn't come with the horseradish that it was supposed to. We did eventually receive it but by this time the pot roast was barely luke warm. For drinks we had the Lux Old Fashioned & Mango Mule, both of these were very well made and very good. The concern we had with the drinks is that both my water and Old fashion sat empty for approx 5 minutes before our server offered to refill the water and bring another drink. For dessert we ordered beignets... and I will say they were AMAZING!! Overall I highly recommend Grand Lux Cafe but either ask them to hold your entrée order until you've received your appetizers (something that should be a basic requirement of all servers without being asked) or wait to place your entrée order until you're done with your appetizers.

Grand Lux Cafe offers an immersive dining experience with its Mediterranean design and layout. The high ceiling and big booths makes the environment and experience of its own. The menu caters many appetites, from Asian to Cajun, Italian to New American. Only things missing were Pizzas and Mexican cousine. The Crispy Springrolls are a fun and abundant appetizer. The menu does not state its Buffalo sauce in the chicken, wich is a little tangy. Think of it as an Asian twist to Buffalo chicken wings. The shrimp scampi was delicious. The pasta is served over the sauce, so you can mix it to taste. The balance of taste in the sauce was delicate and plentiful. The shrimp had a slight batter that made it great to eat by itself, instead of mixing it with the pasta. The baby back ribs were tender and flavorful. However compared to other plates we’ve had, it seemed a smaller portion. The two tropical drinks were refreshing and every sip was full of flavor. The balance of the multiple fruit juices was good enough so you could taste them all. Service was good, our server seemed a little busy but he was there every time we needed him. Overall, for a late 9:30pm to 11pm dinner, the experience was memorable. Our tab came up to $86, cocktails didn’t have a price on the menu. This could be a good spot for an special but not so special dinner. Groups of 4 to 6 would be great with their big booths and spacious layout. Not so much of a Houston’s signature restaurant but more like a world cousine restaurant in Houston. P.S. at 10:57pm (they close at 11) all the huge blinds dropped down automatically and gracefully. Such a funny and respectful way to say “alright y’all, show’s over”.

Grand Lux Cafe is a go-to spot for an exceptional dining experience that combines elegance with comfort. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with stunning decor—high ceilings, intricate details, and a warm, inviting ambiance. It’s perfect for everything from casual lunches to celebratory dinners with friends or family. The menu is expansive and has something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for flavorful pastas, hearty burgers, fresh seafood, or global-inspired dishes, Grand Lux delivers every time. Their portions are generous, and the quality is consistent across the board. I especially recommend their signature pasta dishes and the indulgent desserts—don’t miss out on the Warm Butter Cake or their house-made cheesecakes! The service is always on point. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels cared for without being rushed. Even during busy times, they handle everything with ease and grace. One of the standout features of Grand Lux Cafe is its versatility. Whether you’re dining solo, on a date, or with a large group, the ambiance and menu cater to any occasion. If you’re looking for a restaurant that combines upscale vibes with a relaxed atmosphere and a diverse menu, Grand Lux Cafe is the perfect choice. It’s a place you’ll keep coming back to—and for good reason!

Came for our anniversary, but got to the restaurant close to closing time. By accident, but our fault. Planned to get several drinks from the bar to celebrate. Ordered one and an appetizer of the Asian nachos and then we waited and waited for our appetizer to arrive. Our server forgot to put it in before our food came (never writting down orders isnt impressive if you forget part of the order!), so we asked about it because we knew our entrees were about to arrive. Server then proceeded to kind of avoid us. When it hit the table and then our entrees came 2 minutes later, our server finally came by to check on us. I ordered a refill because I had been waiting for her to come back around the whole time she was avoiding us, and they told me no because it was 2 mins after close. That's not fair to me as I was trying to spend money on drinks, but Ok, fine. Food was good, but we felt rushed. Not the best anniversary dinner, but they gave us this one cookie to share between two adults to make up for the drinks I wasn't allowed to order. So there's that. We will be back because we love the Asian nachos, but this was a very disappointing visit this time.

I would never go back to that place again the waitress that we had was pretty good but I didn't like the fact that it took us an hour and a half to get appetizers and a drink and then you had one of the waiters at the door getting a whole attitude for no reason the food was in season a lot of my family members was unhappy with their food they said it was Blended and have a taste to it it wasn't right or we just had to wait too long to get our food so for my first time going to look it will be my first and last time and I went for a birthday party celebration and they had her party sitting on opposite sides of the room instead of making room for all of us to sit close by each other you have to literally walk around on the other side to go talk to your other party that came for the birthday gathering but they will never have to worry about me going again ever in life they have lost my business to say that was my first time ever going to the restaurant not happy at all and especially when my nephew also had to wait a hour and a half for some appetizers and a drink. But I must say the pot roast fried was okay and my limit dropped was okay as well

Our Sever Eric B was amazing and so was the Food and Service!! Tables and chairs not so clean. The parking was horrible. Saturday, My mom and I went for the first time. It took us 20 mins to find a parking spot. We finally entered the restaurant and it was Beautiful! The Host greeted us and took us to our table. Upon arriving at the table the seats were dirty with food and the back of the chairs/booth were stained. We asked the host if he could get someone to wipe the seats off so we could sit down; he rolled his eyes. He proceeded to grab a dry napkin and wiped at the syrup on the seat. I ended up cleaning the seats then there was a bug on the booth. The hosted said "It's just a silver fish!" I'm like you can't be serious right now. After I cleaned and exterminated the booth we were finally able to sit down. We ordered the Buffalo Eggrolls, a Chicken Ceasar salad, a Cheese Burger without the bun with a garden salad, an Omelet with hash browns, and an order of French Toast. Everything we ordered was wonderful and delicious! Grand lux Cafe, Please get the booth cloths steamed cleaned your restaurant is too beautiful!
