    Grand Happy Hour Menu. May/2026
    Tatiana M.

    Was at the mall and noticed they had a happy hour so I gave it a try (3 pm to 6:30 at the bar) The service was a little slow, but all staff was friendly and helpful (I had questions since it was my first time!). I had a glass of wine, and a few shareables since they were all $11.95 during happy hour. I had the creamy spinach and cheese dip, the crab cakes and crispy Thai shrimp and chicken rolls. The appetizers arrived at different times, not sure why; my favorite was the spinach dip, great flavors! The crab cakes did have flavor but a little dry for my taste and the spring rolls were good too. The place wasn't packed and it wasn't noisy.

    Cold Brew

    What a brunch of goodies at this place. I want to apologize yall my camera barely ate but hopefully this review serves some justice. We made a reservation (on Yelp) for 3 for their weekend brunch. They do it Saturday & Sundays from open until 2pm. We went around 10 and there wasn't a lot of people on a Saturday which was great to know even with a reservation! We ordered the following: Cold brew: it is made from concentrate and not actual beans. It has good flavor but towards the end of drinking it, it did taste a bit plasticky - probably would go to regular coffee next time Beignets: they have an in house bakery that makes their own goodies. The beignets are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Think of a brioche style fluffiness. It came with a fudge sauce and a white bourbon cream sauce Breakfast combo: it is 2 eggs any style, sausage or bacon, hashbrowns, and pancakes. It is served with a butter maple syrup and it is amazing! The pancakes are nice moist and crispy. Seriously so delicious! Definitely will be coming back for brunch!

    First time here, as I am a tourist, and I enjoyed my visit very much. The restaurant is similar to Cheesecake Factory. The menu was extensive with lots of different options to choose from. Lots of seating and server was attentive. You get complimentary bread with your meal. I ordered the Garlic Chicken ($24.50 USD). Very large portion and very filling. Flavours were great. I would recommend this dish. The Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Jambalaya ($27.95 USD) was great too. Portion was massive. Spices were great, and many pieces of shrimp and chicken. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant. I would definitely come back.

    THE GODZ have given me a meal spot THE GRAND LUC CAFE in South Florida and FRANKS LOVES IT. Now I dine at the GLC in Las Vegas all the time so finding a location while chilling in Florida brought tears to my eyes. We just drove alligator Highway and needed a savory meal for lunch prior to checking into our hotel. Now we're sitting inside and our menus are open only to see our favorites from Vegas are served here. Hello it's time to order and a bowl of tortilla soup ( amazing flavor ) , followed by the ultimate meal starter the BUFFALO CHICKEN ROLLS. Well, if you don't know about these rolls you're seriously missing out on one of life's greatest appetizers.. A buffalo wing chicken combo diced , deep fried in a flakey wrapper. Once you eat one you'll be fighting your dining partners so order a set for yourself. Now for my main coarse it's the FRANKS new favorite item on menu and it's the Chicken Jambalaya. Served over white rice a savory lightly spiced medley of sautéd veggies & diced chicken chunks in sauce. No worries you won't be breathing fire due to creole flavors but it's remarkably spiced for flavor not heat. It's a meal you'd want if you were on death row it's so good. Grand Lux Cafe never fails me and along with the food the severs are friendly, knowledgeable and earned our tip for quality service. Inside its high ceiling keep the noise low but it's a gorgeous dining area. Granted it's a large menu being served yet everything is fantastic and we shall return either to this location or Las Vegas very soon. Side note it's at the Sawgrass Mills outlet mall so dine and then shop. You can't go wrong cause FRANK SIAD SO!

    My first time at this location. I miss ours in California. The Grand Lux Cafe has all types of cultural food for everyone. Great place to dine with family and friends. Their lunch portion is huge and very economical. Service was good. Our waitress was welcoming and made our dining pleasant. I had the Lemon Chicken Piccata with crassr salad and it was delicious. Note: You have self-parking or valet parking. The restaurant is located at the Sawgrass Mills Outlet.

    While visiting Sawgrass and walking 30 miles in what is more of an amusement park vs a mall, your appetite has a tendency to kick in. Seeing as this place was within the Cheesecake Factory family we decided to have dinner here. Service was excellent from beginning to end. Walked in, waited a few minutes and sat down. Ambiance and lighting is similar to Cheesecake Factory but a lot quieter, now that could be because of the time or area, but definitely better in my opinion. All the food was delicious and if you want to have a delicious dessert then make sure you order the baked cookies prior to finishing your meal. They were fresh, crunchy and delicious, add a glass of milk and you may not be able to move after. The entrees packed a punch, specifically the Thai chicken.. think of like a Kung Pao chicken, crunchy, spicy and addictive .. the Asian nachos were a great start with the wonton, sauces and chicken added.. the steak frites weren't anything to rave about, I preferred all the chicken entrees everyone else ordered vs mines. But you have a huge selection and can't go wrong. Will come back when I'm in the area.

    Really good service and a great happy hour. You can only take advantage of the happy hour at the bar area. We had the calamari which was very good and the jambalaya which is a huge portion I had enough to take to work the next day. The restaurant is very clean I will definitely come back.

    Strawberry lemonade

    The food was amazing i had chicken and waffles with a side or ranch. The service was ok i came on a busy day i assume because the food took a little while to come .

    Butter Cake
    Belle S.

    We stopped into The Grand Lux Café at Sawgrass Mills and had a really great experience. We started with the calamari and fried cheese appetizers -- both were excellent and honestly set the bar high for the rest of the meal. Crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. For my entrée, I had the BBQ cedar plank salmon. It was good, but compared to the starters and desserts, it didn't quite stand out as much. The apps and desserts really stole the show. The butter cake was out of this world -- rich, moist, and paired perfectly with the ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. We also tried another dessert layered with whipped cream, chocolate, and crunchy bits, which was equally indulgent. Both were amazing! On top of the food, our waitress was wonderful -- so friendly and attentive, which really made the whole experience even better. Wasn't too loud and wasn't too busy which I loved. One of my group has a service dog and they didn't bok at her which is always a plus for me. Overall, the food was great (with apps and desserts being the stars), and the service was excellent. Definitely worth a stop if you're at Sawgrass Mills!

    We came to the Grand Lux Cafe after a day of walking around and shopping at Sawgrass. The ambiance was inviting and all the staff members are very nice and friendly. I had the Lemon Chicken Piccata which was really good.

    Tuscan vegetable soup
    Claudio N.

    Stopped for lunch here and sat in the bar area it is conveniently located by the Sawgrass Mills Mall in north west Broward county. Plenty of free garage parking is a major plus. The service was quick, professional & accurate by very a focused group thank you! We ordered from the lunch menu but we found the portions not very generous for the price paid we had the pasta pomodoro chicken with spaghetti which had 3-4 small pieces of chicken the rest was pasta-disappointing also an Chicken Parmesan with Brussel Sprouts tasting really well had a delicious tuscan vegetable soup. The entrance to this place strongly resembles The Cheesecake Factory which owns this unit. We would return here.

    Sweet potato fries
    Ramsey P.

    Came here for a work event and enjoyed our dinner. Conveniently located in the Sawgrass mall. I got the brisket and cheese sandwhich and while it was very very good it was so greasy. I guess that just comes with the territory but as good as it was I most likely won't order it again. Sweet potato fries were very good, I love how they make them here. Something to note is that if you have a shellfish allergy, their chips are cooked in the same frier as the shrimp. Annoying that they do that given how many people have allergy restrictions to shellfish, but what can you do. I'm glad they at least asked. Everyone working there was nice as well.

    It was our first time at Divieto ... although my husband thinks we've been there before. (Ummmm,…read moreno, no we haven't.) Anyway, in any case, we enjoyed it thoroughly, and that's why I'm doubling down that we haven't been there before - we would have been back! It was our anniversary and a Saturday, and fortunately we went early enough to avoid the rush. The hostess was lovely and, when I mentioned we usually like to sit at the bar, she said not to worry about our reservation and sit wherever we like. We ended up at a table because the bar was pretty crowded and we wanted a more quiet evening. So, Ben was our server and he was fantastic! He gave me a solid recommendation when I asked for his opinion, he was attentive without being a pest, and he had a great personality. I don't rave about a server, but he was a gem! We had a Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs and calamari. My husband said the spaghetti and meatballs were very good and the calamari was one of the best I've had anywhere - totally crunchy yet tender. (Thank you, Ben, for the recommendation!) The meal is served with a crusty bread and oil with balsamic, and I love a crusty bread. We were treated to an anniversary dessert of a brownie with ice cream, and who doesn't like that?! Anyway, it truly was a nice evening. I can understand why the reviews are so positive, and it's always a pleasant surprise when expectations are not only met but exceeded!

There is nothing I could say bad about it, and I did not expect this quality of steak from an Italian restaurant. The chicken Parm was an nice size portion and had great flavor with the penny à la sauce. The reason I did not give them five stars is because the pasta that came with it was way overcooked and not al dente. It did have a mushy texture. As for the chicken itself, it had great flavor however, the breading on it was kind of doughy like it had sat in the sauce for too long before it was brought to our table. We are definitely gonna return to this location as we really enjoyed ourselves.

    This classy Italian restaurant has been operating in The Colonnade Outlets for over seventeen years…read morebut this was my first visit. Beautiful spacious interior with a comfortable covered patio and two wine rooms. Took a seat at the corner of the u-shaped bar and had trouble pulling my chair under the bar top which was touching my thighs. To say the least it was uncomfortable dining but my wife and I like sitting at bars for the one-on-one service. Tonight the bartender Hugo served us focaccia bread with fresh tomatoes and evoo that was delish and got seconds. The chicken parmigiana was enormous with zesty tomato sauce and a side of thick mash potatoes and broccoli which I split with my wife. We also ordered a large bowl of mussels but they were undercooked with sand grinding in my rear molars. The bartender removed the mussels from the bill without any issue. Loved the coal fired pizza oven and the bakery. The gender assigned bathroom was clean and modern.

    We had a lovely waitress who was patient with us. We didn't get an appetizer because we figured the…read moreportions would be large. And we were right! The bread was soft and pillowy, the entrees were delicious and very well presented, and the place was quiet, dim and intimate. Perfect for a date night if you're looking for one. I would absolutely return.

    Best Italian food I've had in South Florida!!…read more If you're looking for an excellent Italian meal, I highly recommend going to Vivace. We started with the complimentary rolls that were very nice and the butter served with them...YES!! My mom ordered the "Italian Chopped Salad" which I told her I didn't want any of... until I tried it. There were so many flavors, all delicious, and the serving was enough for 2-3 people. I highly recommend starting out with this salad (although it would be a bit much if you're dining solo). For my main dish, I went with the lasagna and my mom chose the Chickenn Romano (I think). My lasagna came out in a beautiful Staub rectangular dish and was absolutely delectable! I can not wait to go back and order this again. My mom's chicken dish was also very, very good! I ordered a side of Brussel sprouts that were cooked to perfection. We were both so happy with our choices. My mom and I enjoyed a chocolate martini as well. The ambiance is definitely a date night vibe, especially if you sit towards the back. The front is more of a sophisticated bar vibe. The service can be improved as it took a really long time for things to come out for our game but not the other table and the server seemed awkward with a few things. With practice they'll get better. It won't deter me from going back again as the food was excellent! Kudos to the chef! Parking lot in the front with free parking.
