This menu is huge and it is a very convenient place to stop and eat while shopping. There is something for everyone and they do a great job putting a unique spin on everyday items. It is a pretty restaurant with a great view overlooking the Mag Mile.

Our party of three ate here on the weekend and absolutely loved the atmosphere. The decor is very grand, yet casual at the same time. We enjoyed three different appetizers rather then eating entres as we were pretty full from a culinary tour we went on earlier in the day. All three appetizers were delicious. As a desert we ordered... More

Went here with friends while staying in Chicago, went back twice more before leaving. Huge menu, well prepared food, great service and a terrific atmosphere, people are lined up out the door waiting for a table even though the restaurant is huge. Very good value for money, don't miss it, it is better than the Grand Lux in Las Vegas

First things first this spot has a great location upstairs overlooking Michigan Avenue right in the thick of things, and as you would expect a location this good does not need to try to hard on the food. The place is huge, and if you are lucky enough to score a window seat it is a great place to rest... More

Located on the second floor of a building is a jewel of a place to eat. From starters to dessert was a variety of taste-tempting options. Everything was reasonably priced and the portions were more than generous. Even the small plates provided a full meal. Pasta, chicken, fish, sandwiches and the desserts were all well-prepared and tasty. The only downside... More

We were recommended to take lunch here whilst on holiday and it was a great recommendation. We enjoyed tasty food, with friendly relaxed service in lovely surroundings. The place was buzzing but it was a great atmosphere and we totally recommend it.

I live in Chicago and this is my favorite place to go after shopping on Michigan Ave. Would be a great place for a tourist to come after sightseeing and is looking for a nice place (but not too pricey) to enjoy a good meal. It is the more sophisticated sister of the Cheesecake Factory (the decor and some menu... More

If you're from Boston, Grand Lux Cafe isn't familiar to you until you go inside and start noticing that this place looks a lot like the Cheesecake Factory. When you open the menu you'll notice it's even more familiar to the Cheesecake Factory. Well it's the sister restaurant and the food is just as good! I didn't see what I... More

If you're alone, sit at the bar. Excellent lunch on the go. Great food and experience. The New England clam chowder was the best I've had in years.
