    If you are looking for THE PLACE to enjoy a Family reunion, a Romantic "tête à tête", a Friendly lunch, a Celebration of a Birthday or Celebration of an exam, you will not be disappointed. The Staff is dedicated to providing the best experience, the Food is delicious and generously served, the Decor is warm, intimate and ensures each party will feel exclusive. From the Welcome at the door to Goodbyes 5 Thank You Katy (one of the Trainer and Chief Waitress who took a wonderful care of us). That specific day, we came for something sweet only, and we were not disappointed. (Please make sure you book your table. The website is very easy to navigate through.)

    Great atmosphere. The food is amazing. I am gluten intolerant and there are multiple options to suit my needs. Our server Sean was especially helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. They even have gluten free Godiva cheesecake.

    This establishment is a go to one! The entire operation is run very smoothly. You will enjoy the ambiance of the Grand L ux Cafe. It provides an excellent menu with many fine choices to choose from. From your drink to your dessert you should not be disappointed. The wait staff is very attentive and will handle any requests you make. Having spent a good luncheon at the Grand Lux Cafe today, I would think that you too would also enjoy your luncheon meal. So in short, go, enjoy and have a nice time. ????????????????????????

    I love the grand atmosphere and expansive menu here at Grand Lux Cafe, Garden City! I love their “pasta carbonara” and the bread , which is why I was so disappointed when they forgot to give my bread! However I will of course forgive them since I come here all the time! In conclusion, this place may be hard to find a table, but it is indeed a wonderful place to eat at! 5 stars!!!

    First time to a Grand Lux Cafe although a longtime fan of The Cheesecake Factory. Both are near each other so I decided to see what the difference was. The atmosphere looks and feels the same. The menu is smaller so it’s not overwhelming. I narrowed my options to three and let my super awesome server Jose T pick for me. He recommended the Salmon Three Ways and enjoyed all three styles. The center one prepared with the mushrooms blew me away. It was scrumptious. Perfectly cooked pieces delicately slid away as I polished it off. The plate was nice as it gave a little asparagus, green beans and mushrooms. The salmon was unexpectedly good, especially as Grand Lux is a chain. But their chef knows what he was doing and could work anywhere IMO (and I’m a city slicker). The salmon was so good that I forgot to mention that a generous portion of bread was served before the meal - it was PIPING HOT! Fresh out of the oven. It was so hot that it actually melted the (properly) refrigerated butter . Due to chilly rain I got to park right in front and I thought because I arrived near closing time that the staff might be tired and food not as good but I was proven 100% wrong. They nailed it. I’ll be back.

    My family and I came yesterday to this amazing spot. I’ve been here a couple of times and the service has always been great. It was a 30min wait but we were called in 15mins if that. Our waiter Ms. Noel was great with attending to us and all we wanted. Thank you to all staff the was professional and welcoming. Food was great and the prices. Very much worth it for me.

    The meals are delicious. I highly recommend the branzino. It was amazingly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are perfect and the value of the meals is phenomenal. The staff is pretty attentive and courteous.
