From Grand Lux Cafe--

Pure Inspiration.

The idea for Grand Lux Cafe came to life when The Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas asked David Overton, Founder of The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, to create an upscale casual restaurant concept for their property.

Excited by the proposal and the opulent "Venetian" theme, Mr. Overton traveled to Europe to study Italian trattorias, French bistros, and the grand cafes and pastry shops of Vienna. This culinary tour through Europe, focused on food, architecture, décor and design, provided the inspiration for what the restaurant was destined to become.

Blending the grandeur and luxury of European cafes with the sensibilities and spirit of an all-American restaurant, "Grand Lux Cafe" was born. Today, with locations in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston, Grand Lux Cafe is proud to offer our guests unique, casual global cuisine in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.

Pure Indulgence.

Grand Lux Cafe's eclectic menu offers extraordinary variety and selection, with flavor profiles ranging from Thai, Malaysian and Caribbean, to classic American and European specialties. With every item prepared fresh to order in our exhibition-style kitchen, the focus remains on providing guests with the finest, freshest foods available.

Served in generous portions - perfect for sharing - menu selections include Specialty Appetizers, Oven Baked Rustic Pizzas, Burgers and Sandwiches, Salads, Pasta Dishes, Oven, Broiler and Grill Specialties, and Certified Angus Beef Steaks.

Also offered is an impressive selection of unusual and creative Specialty Cocktails and Martinis, as well as an array of Beer, Wine and After Dinner Drinks.

Perhaps most "grand" of all is the on-premise bakery found at each Grand Lux Cafe. Recognizing that the very best desserts are those that are baked to order, this delicious European tradition was brought back to the States and is a hallmark of the Grand Lux Cafe experience. From Molten Chocolate Cake and New Orleans Beignets to Warm Rustic Apple Pie and Warm Homemade Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies, our special baked to order desserts add a fabulous finish to any meal.

Lunch Specials are served daily until 5:00 p.m., and special Breakfast selections are served Saturdays and Sundays until 2:00 p.m. For our guests' convenience in today's busy world, we will happily package any item from our dining room menu for take out. We also offer all of our delicious baked goods at the bakery counter to enjoy at home.

Pure Splendor.
Grand Lux Cafe defines a new category in dining, that of the super upscale casual restaurant. Taking design and style themes from the Old World cafes and bistros of Europe, Grand Lux Cafe provides our guests with an escape from the ordinary.

The impact is immediate upon walking through the front doors - elaborate design, sumptuous fabrics and textures, and custom artisan-created details abound. Awash in a color scheme reminiscent of a Venetian carnival, Grand Lux Cafe is a feast for the eyes.

All-marble floors and tabletops, hand-blown glass fixtures, and intricate mosaics add to the lavish interior. Motifs borrowing from the great artists of the "grand cafe" era envelop the dining area, bringing warmth and personality to the space.

Designed for grandeur but never forgetting comfort, the inviting dining rooms are perfect for a cozy party of two or a festive party of twenty. Private dining facilities for parties and events also are available at our Las Vegas and Chicago locations.

We welcome you to Grand Lux Cafe.

Canaletto

Phone: 702.733.0070
Address: 3377 Las Vegas Blvd. So. Las Vegas, NV 89109

Notes: Located at the Grand Canal Shoppes

From Vegas.com--

A star among the many restaurant options at The Venetian, Canaletto is actually a unique one-of-a-kind concept from the good folks at Il Fornaio, the famous restaurant chain that began as a bakery in 1981.

As with so many restaurants in Europe, the windows are filled with a fresh seafood display to entice you with your eyes first, and then your stomach. There's a large, "outdoor" dining area, which lies under the perennial dusk ceiling of St. Mark's. These tables could arguably be the most popular for their proximity to the street scene. Who doesn't like sipping a glass of Prosecco (Italian champagne) while listening to an aria being sung from the balcony above you, or having a harlequin on stilts amuse you with his tomfoolery?

Don't, however, discount the smaller, more intimate dining rooms inside and upstairs. The second level rooms are generally reserved for banquets and larger groups. If you're inquisitive, you might want to pop upstairs to check out the views from above.

Because of the romantic nature of the Venetian and the Grand Canals, it's quite common to see a just-married bride and groom strolling around, either as an in-love pair of swooning doves or with their entourage in tow. Manager Matthew Galli said that it's a near-daily occurrence for Canaletto to host a wedding party--and he takes it as a compliment that the newlyweds would choose his restaurant as the place to share their first meal together.

The menu at Canaletto, currently under the direction of Chef Bruno Amato, has been designed to appeal to all tastes and budgets. It's entirely possible to stop in to share a pizza and a glass of wine, or to indulge yourself in three or four courses and make a night of it.

The menu remains the same throughout the day, with lunch and dinner specials, of course. An easy way to start your meal would be with the crostini, made with polenta that has been topped with provolone cheese and six different toppings, including porcini mushrooms with white truffle oil, spicy sausage and smoked salmon. Or you could also opt for a delicious seafood gratinée of scallops and shrimp baked with artichokes, potatoes and white wine.

For something lighter, try the pear salad with mixed greens, grilled pears, grapes, gorgonzola and toasted pecans. It's large enough to even be a very light luncheon option.

Pizzas are terrific at Canaletto: thin-crusted, naturally, with simple, fresh toppings. If you can take a few more calories, order the always-rich, always-flavorful risotto. Canaletto offers five choices, from shrimp and crab to asparagus with chicken.

For a decadent pasta choice, look no further than the spaghettini with butterflied Maine lobster. The half-crustacean arrives topped with a tomato, garlic and brandy sauce. (Be sure to check as the other diners look on you with envy).

Entrées include a roast chicken as good as any Nana could conjure up; veal scallopine, finished with Prosecco; bone-in prime rib-eye and more than a half-dozen seafood choices. A lazy afternoon could easily be spent noshing on the seafood platter for two, with oysters, shrimp, crab and lobster.

What? You're not full yet? Then go for the zabaglione with fresh berries, or maybe just some Italian ice cream.

Acca Kappa is a family run business that spans for generations. Remarkably, the current President, Ms. Elisa Gera, is the great-great grand daughter of the original founder! In the late 1980's, Ms. Gera decided to expand the Acca Kappa brand to leading traditional principles; select the highest quality of raw materials, focus on simplicity in design and respect the environment.

"My great-great grandfather founded Acca Kappa in 1869. Today, four generations later, I'm proud to followin his footsteps as president of Acca Kappa, and uphold the long family tradition of quality, simplicity and luxury for which Acca Kappa is known."

In 2004 the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, the world's leading operator of luxury hotels and resorts, chose Acca Kappa for its high standard in quality. From New York to Kuala Lampur, you will find Acca Kappa's exclusive White Moss collection in any For Seasons suite wolrdwide
