Apparently the offspring of the Cheesecake Factory, we have had
breakfast at the Grand Lux Café for the past couple of years. The
most likely reason is the French toast. My aunt starts thinking
about the French toast as soon as we get on the plane. There is a
reason for this. The brioche eggy toast has a thin and brown crisp
crust that contains a nearly molten interior. Brushed with butter
and anointed with syrup, it makes for a standard breakfast treat for
which you will return. The Belgian waffle was not particularly good
or bad, essentially what you would expect. We also tried a
relatively unique omelet. This egg snuggie was stuffed with crab
meat, asparagus, havarti, and oven roasted tomatoes. While one of
our members felt there was “too much going on” I found the
combination enjoyable and the splash of hollandaise atop the whole
concoction worked just fine. The Grand Lux is nowhere near as
refined or creative as Tableau, but I am certain we will be eating
breakfast there next year…I think I’ll get the French toast…although
the red velvet pancakes looked really interesting when we were
leaving…. |
