LuxBar

Decor:

LuxBar's interior decor is warm, dark wood with old style, traditional furnishings. The floors are black and white tiles, and the atmosphere is very busy, exhibiting the hustle and bustle of the city.

Wait Staff:
The wait staff here is spectacular. They go above and beyond with whatever you need.

Drinks:
Pim's Cup
Pimm’s No.1, Gin, Lemon juice, Ginger and Soda

I've ordered this drink here twice and have had it prepared two completely different ways. The first time seemed to be the more traditional, Wimbeldon style Pim's, 7Up, and fruit slices. The second was prepared as listed above. I prefer the first way to what is listed above, but nevertheless both are very good.

Food:
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Club Sandwich -- A boneless chicken breast deep battered and fried, then placed on a bun with lettuce and tomato. The size of the breast is huge, and it takes quite a bit of effort to eat is all. The batter recipe is wonderful and has that buttery, milky hint to it. Comes standard with thin french fries.

Soft Shell Sandwich -- Angie had a soft shell crab sandwich on a thick bun that was infused with butter. I had approximately 1/4 of it, and it was the most unbelievable sandwich I've had in memory. A full soft shell crab, the bun 'o butter perfectly complemented the crab meat. Amazing! Accompanied by cole slaw, which was rather good.

Hamburger Slider -- Jackson had one of the hamburger sliders. He didn't comment on how it was, but did eat it all.

Total Bill with Tip:
$46.17

Overall:
LuxBar is so good because of the quality service, consistency of good meals, and more than anything, the variety of the types of food you can get. You can get traditional bar food, or top notch seafood and fish any day of the week. They always have something that will pique your interest no matter what mood you are in.
