sabasushi Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 To anyone who has lunched at Grand Lux in the Galleria area, I have a couple of questions. How well-lit is the resturant at lunchtime, and do you remember what is the price range of the lunch menu (if they have one)? I've looked at the website, but the online menu doesn't show any prices. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august948 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's very similar to, and is owned by, The Cheesecake Factory. Ambiance and lighting (on the dark side) are similar. Food is a standard assortment. They used to have enormous chocolate cream puffs, but those have been gone for several years now. That was the only thing that made it stand out to me.

trymahjong Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 As a standout item: High Tea used to available on the menu- I would say prices are on the high side and it's really loud inside.Have you tried looking up reviews on tripadvisor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 the windows are huge so if it is bright outside it is pretty bright inside especially if sitting in one of the awesome booths by the huge windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I was only there one time a few years ago so it wouldn't be fair to say Grand Lux sux. I do remember the décor was a bit over the top. I don't remember the food and service being good or bad but I never felt compelled to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Venetian in Las Vegas wanted to open with a Cheesecake Factory but CF thought they needed to create a new restaurant to match the glitz and glamor of Vegas, so GL was born! haha! YES it is indeed over the top but i do like going there...although to be honest its more out of convenience too since my townhouse is directly behind it! haha! (but always good service and love sitting at the bar for usually no wait and quick service especially) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I know in Los Angeles, a similar concept called Ice Cream Lab did the same thing, and there are numerous other clones. Liquid nitrogen is fun, you can shrink balloons (by turning the air inside to liquid), shatter rubber balls, and do all sorts of other fun stuff. Too bad it's hard to acquire, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to be a popular party trick among science grad students who had ready access to LN2 - the title is a misnomer as you do have to be careful not to inhale or swallow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slated to open in early 2019, the Galleria location will be the Houston-area’s sixth Snooze, joining Montrose, Katy, Town & Country, The Heights, and one that’s still under construction in Webster. At 3,700 square feet, the Galleria location will be about average for a Snooze, but a 48-seat, dog-friendly patio will set the new location apart from its siblings." now i just need to go out and adopt a puppy Edited July 31, 2018 by gene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 https://snoozeeatery.com/tx-menu/ I'd buy these three things! Huevos Rancheros Corn or flour tortillas layered with black beans, jack cheese, ranchero sauce, three eggs any style, and pico de gallo. (Imagine it topped with veggies and/or meats!) Sunburst Cakes Our buttermilk lemon poppyseed batter topped with homemade lemon anglaise, macerated blackberries, citrus mascarpone and toasted almonds. French Toast Neat For the purist, French toasted brioche completed with whipped mascarpone cream, seasonal fruit and Slopeside pure Vermont maple syrup.

gene Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I go early so never a wait really...and that is the best part about more of these opening up....the wait will be less as each new one opens hopefully! But yes go early or go before they close and the wait is hardly ever bad even at the craziness that is the montrose location! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Will this shopping center become a mixed-use high-rise development at some point? Probably one of the nicer strip centers along Post Oak. 10 to 15 years for redevelopment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Planned $150 million density here. Maybe a multifamily highrise? https://s25.q4cdn.com/658894972/files/doc_presentations/2020/11/3Q20-Roadshow-(Nareit).pdf 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 According to a press release, Arhaus will soon close its storefront at Centre at Post Oak. The "artisan crafted furniture store" opened in the Galleria area shopping center in 2013. It's located in the former Barnes & Noble space at 5000 Westheimer Rd, Suite 100. Arhaus is relocating to Post Oak Plaza. It will occupy Meredith O'Donnell Fine Furniture's former unit at 1751 Post Oak Blvd. https://shoppingcenterbusiness.com/levcor-completes-renovations-adds-three-tenants-to-post-oak-plaza-in-houston/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
