Writing for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, restaurant reviewer Dana Craig seemed happy with the look of deLux, the new eatery (open 7 a.m.-2 a.m., every day) at 2229 W. Main St.

The décor is deluxe open-air mezzanine, amorphous ceiling cutouts aglow with candy-colored neon, curvy bar flanked by VIP-style rounded booths. The clientele is deluxe — city government power players, TV news celebrities, well-known restaurateurs. Even the drinks are deluxe Veuve Clicquot, Ketel Citron pomegranate martinis, wines ($25 to $70) traversing globe and grape.

In her review Craig seemed rather bored with the menu, mostly because it was too much like the food in the owners’ other restaurants. And, she seemed bothered that deLux is too much of a bar and not enough of a restaurant. All of which seems rather picky to me, but I haven’t been to any of those places, so what do I know?
