   The staff here are the nicest. Always smiling and though a bustling place, they keep their cool. The kindness feels genuine.

   First time at Cafe Luxembourg but it won’t be the last! An authentic French brasserie with professional and friendly personnel down the line! The food was well prepared and served in a timely manner. A little gem on the UWS!

   Always a great place to go. But I usually go for lunch or breakfast, so even though it was relatively early on a Sunday evening (6:15 pm) I was a but surprised by the noise level. It was difficult to hear my companion across the table.

   I’ve been to Cafe Lux countless times over the years and have always counted on the food being consistently good, with this visit being no different. I however was disappointed by little changes. Lux always had a beautiful floral arrangement but now has fake flowers. Upon receiving your check they included a piece of chocolate for each diner which is no longer offered, and where is the classic iconic card with the ladies at the bar? I hope that these little changes don’t lead to more changes at Lux.

   Great service and the food was good. A little noisy for my liking, but it’s a sign of how good it is, so this is not really a complaint.

    Always a nabe staple, Cafe Lux didn’t disappoint. They have it down to a science about rezzies; Ed co strive 10 min early and were seated 10 min later. My companion vegans with the special soup of the day- chicken noodle soup, which was a small cup that I found ridiculously expensive at $14. I had a Bibb and endive salad that was served with one of the most delicious salad dressings ever. We moved on to mains: his was quiche Lorraine, served with a small arugula salad. Mine was a special of the day: a lovely chewy and crunchy baguette brushed with balsamic vinegar reduction and piled with buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, arugula, and a zippy dressing. It was absolutely sensational. We shared a lemon tart for dessert, which h consisted of a pâté sucreé base filled with a smoothly tart lemon curd, covered with Swiss meringue. Blueberry coulis served alongside. Quite wonderful. Noise level is high in the resto, but it’s filled with interesting New Yorkers so it’s fun to listen in. The staff understands the pacing in the place and they keep things moving along. Definitely an upper west side hangout to try if you’ve not been there yet.
