Grand Lux Cafe reviews

Weekend and holidays there can be BRUTAL, as it's extremely busy. On one hand, this is good because that means more money. On the other hand, this sometimes means working a 12-14 hour shift without much of a break. And doing that for several days in a row. It's not uncommon for nearly all of the service staff to be scheduled for a double shift on a weekend, which often means little to no relief between shifts. During the holidays, 50-60 hour weeks for servers are not uncommon. Prepare to be cranky and exhausted. The real worst thing about this place though is the clientele. You'll wait on some great tables here who spend big, treat you nicely and tip generously... but you'll also wait on a lot of creeps. The people who eat here are a weird mix of upper and lower class. At Grand Lux, I've gotten some of the best tips I've ever gotten in several years of waiting tables... and I've also gotten stiffed more than ever (the good tips often make up for that, but it's still frustrating sometimes).

Unfortunately there are very few (although attitudes are contagious) so I won't say I am innocent. Yet I am a good person, the guests love me and within 5 months I already have regulars. There are just people at the job who if they don't like you, they will push until they get the worst out of you.
