This place is fun it is at the Beverly Center so you can go there after a day of shopping and eat. ”

First up I must say I love the decor and the vastness of this restaurant, it reminds me of one one of those old 1920's supper clubs and I can just imagine a big band playing with girls in flapper dresses, and guys in tuxes! ”

The decor is enjoyable, but the place is so loud I have left with a headache. ”

It's hard to imagine how big and over the top this place is when you look at it from the outside, but it is huge and the etched glass and decor is really beautiful, some people might say gaudy. ”

The Grand Lux is owned by the same people who own "The Cheesecake Factory," known for good desserts- but also enormous menus. ”

While the food is mediocre (and the servings are way too large) - the desserts here are fabulous! ”
