LG's Prime SteakhouseCategories:
Essential Information
Locally Owned and Nationally Known LG’s has a loyal clientele, and not just because of the friendly TV commercials inviting patrons to “Come on down and have some dinner with us.” LG’s is all about prime steaks and top-drawer service. Luckily for hungry diners, there are several LG’s Steakhouses from which to choose. Owners Leon (LG) and Gail Greenberg are proud local owners with a well-earned national reputation for quality and customer service. While the same outstanding menu is served at all locations, the ambiance of each restaurant is a unique experience that deserves its own journey. LG’s Palm Springs is a place to see and be seen in the heart of downtown. LG himself is immortalized with a star on the Walk of Stars on Palm Canyon Drive. Patrons can choose an intimate booth inside or a spot on the climate-controlled patio with big screen TV and bar. The patio is also ideal for private parties. In Palm Desert, LG’s holds court on Highway 111 in a 1948 adobe building that was originally the headquarters of Desert Magazine. The mood here is southwest chic. The third jewel in the crown is the distinctive La Quinta restaurant that commands the corner of Highway 111 and Washington Street. Inside, diners marvel over the retractable roof that opens to the desert sky, and star sightings of the celebrity kind on a regular basis. Even Joe, the handsome waiter seen in TV commercials, has his own cult following! LG’s boasts one of the largest wine lists in the valley with an impressive 300 bottles. The restaurant has received Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for eight years in a row. And then there’s the food. Under the keen eye of executive chef Maura (Moe) Tello, LG’s continues to be acclaimed by AAA Diamond Preferred, Palm Springs Life’s Reader’s Choice award, Tom Horan’s Top Ten List, and the Zagat Survey’s rating of “Best Steak In Town.” Every steak is 100% USDA Prime, hand-trimmed, never frozen, and aged to perfection. Dinner is served nightly from 5:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended. “LG’s Prime Steakhouses are a permanent part of the desert landscape and a popular attraction.” Text by Gayl Biondi Additional InformationPrice Range: $$$ Great Restaurants: 2010 ![]() Office Manager Lori Greenberg, Executive Chef Maura (Moe) Tello, Owners Leon and Gail Greenberg, and La Quinta Assistant Manager Grandson Daniel Phelps in the cozy La Quinta bar. ![]() Two of the elegant specialties presented at LG’s are the generous bone-in rib eye steak with asparagus and the Trio Sampler, an appetizer with a crab cake, shrimp scampi, and a bacon-wrapped jumbo scallop.
