Luxe

It seems like most of my thoughts on Luxe have been covered on it's many reviews. But i would like to just say... I would like to shake the hand of whoever created this cocktail menu! It is always very innovative and changes with every season! Our favorite drinks in the city are from Luxe.\r \r Drinks aren't all they do well, however. Their beer cheese fondue is delicious! The pizzas are also very good. If you can make it during happy hour, you can catch a real steal - though I think it only goes until 7:00. \r \r We always sit in the lounge - the vibe is just cooler in there. We've always had fantastic service. I recommend a visit soon! more

Last night we visited Luxe Kitchen and Lounge. We have been there before and always very much enjoyed the evening in all respects. The staff who serve us there are apparently free to express their wonderful, varied, friendly, helpful and incredibly interesting personalities! I would describe the decor as ""improbable"" in the way it mixes and matches many different themes. It only makes the atmosphere even more stimulating than it would otherwise be.\r \r As creative as the decor is the food. It has been absolutely high-quality and delicious without exception and I have never had a dish there prepared in a way I have previously experienced. I have to say that each dinner has been a delightful and wonderful surprise. For a superb meal in a creative, refreshing, informal and friendly atmosphere surrounded by wonderful, friendly and interesting people, you cannot do any better than Luxe Kitchen and Lounge. more

Hosted a birthday dinner here, based on other reviews. The patio is killer, the service was outstanding and the food was excellent! We loved the fries (eggplant, sweet potato and regular), the goat cheese fondue, the dinner specials and the spinach salad. Our waiter Michael was attentive and fun without hovering around, just perfect.\r \r Loved the decor inside the restaurant as well. Will be back often to hang out on the patio/bar outside! more

what a great spot! we had such a nice time here. the food was excellent and we had spectacular service. our server went out of his way to prepare me iced coffee with simple syrup. very nice. my dish, our server's recommendation, was an egg bake - potatos and cheese and eggs and a cream sauce. it was absolutely delicious. \r \r the actual restaurant design is very cool as well. lots of love and attention went into the decor and it shows.\r \r would like to come back here for dinner sometime! more

OK, I'm a food geek, as is my wife. Having lived in both San Francisco and New York, we've both become a tad spoiled. But I returned to Cleveland this past Summer and ate at this gem...4 times already. It's most definitely one of my new favorite restaurants. They just did everything right. Food was exquisite, 5-star to me and their cocktail menu is something to brag about as well. What I most like, however is the atmosphere. It's very industrial/chic. Oodles of recycled materials have turned this space into a sustainable work of art, comfort and pleasure for all the senses. Add to that the welcoming, open air patio which offers live music and is...get this - dog friendly! What could be better? Reasonably priced, it is without a doubt an eatery we plan on revisiting each time we return. more

Whether you are looking for upscale or casual dining - Luxe seems to be able to walk the line well. Great vibe, casual, excellent food selection with small and medium plates, nice little wine list that is both eclectic and reasonably priced. They even had vegan chocolate cake for dessert! Fun atmosphere, but can be loud when it's busy. Definitely worth a try! more

Always a fan of Luxe -- though right now I'm really missing their currently-off-the-menu charcuterie plate. My boyfriend the Paleo-dieter had a spectacular steak special and I fell off the Paleo/GF wagon into Luxe's arugula pizza. Oh arugula pizza, I love you so. Still: the thing that keeps me coming back is their cocktails. The Bloom kept me company this night, but I've had most of the cocktail menu at one time or another and they're always superb. The creme brûlée trio is beyond amazing, my only complaint is that I wish it could be bigger! (Which would defeat the 'sampler' purpose, but still...) more

I was taken to Luxe last night for a little date night. And everything was perfect. The atmosphere was just what we were looking for. Intimate , just dark enough and balanced by an up beat playlist. Our sever, Robin, was wonder. She was very personable and we didnt want for anything....yet she wasn't overbearing. We started with their house Cabernet and the cheese platter. Both were fantastic. Then i had the fettuccine with bacon and egg. It was definitely a heavy meal, but its cream sauce. So thats what i expected. I wouldnt have changed a thing. My date had the steak special and he was happy with it. Cooked just how he ordered it and it was served with some damn good fries. My experience was awesome. I hope to go back soon. more

This place has a great vibe. I feel like it is one of the most underrated places in The OC. I was particularly impressed with their brunch specials, and their BOGO 'happy hour' on Sunday from 11-1. This included beers, mimosas, and bloody's. \r \r The decor, inside and out, is stunning. I have gained so much inspiration for my own house just looking around the patio or the inside walls and window treatments. It's good to see that type of artistic pride in a place, and it shows in their menu as well. \r \r I can't wait for patio season to return-I recall an amazing happy hour. I remember many martini glasses and small plates. \r \r Also, lots of classic movies play on the tv's as a mesmerizing night cap. more
