LG'S PRIME STEAKHOUSES
Locally Owned and Nationally Known

Luckily for diners who crave USDA Prime steaks and top-drawer service, there are several LG’s Steakhouses from which to choose. While the same outstanding menu is served at all the locations, the ambiance of each restaurant is a unique experience that deserves its own journey. Much of that has to do with its three distinctive desert destinations.

LG’s in Palm Springs is a place to see and be seen on lively Palm Canyon Drive in the heart of downtown. LG’s owner, Leon Greenberg, is even immortalized there with his own star on the Walk of Stars. Patrons can choose to dine inside or out, especially now with the addition of a second climate-controlled patio complete with big screen TV and bar. Thanks to its inclusive design, the new patio is ideal for private parties.

In Palm Desert, LG’s holds court on Highway 111 in a stately southwest-inspired building circa 1948 that was originally the headquarters of Desert Magazine. The third jewel in the crown is the distinctive La Quinta restaurant that commands the corner of Highway 111 and Washington Street. Inside, diners may enjoy a wine cellar that’s the talk of the town, a 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!

And then there’s the food. Under the keen eye of executive chef Maura (Moe) Tello, LG’s continues to be acclaimed by the Auto Club with its AAA Approved Diamond Rated Award 2007, Palm Springs Life’s Reader’s Choice Award 2006, Tom Horan’s Top Ten List and the Zagat Survey’s rating of “Best Steak in Town.” It’s no wonder. Every steak is 100% USDA Prime, hand-trimmed, never frozen, and aged to perfection. Owners Leon and Gail Greenberg preside over every detail to ensure that quality and service exceed expectations. That’s what makes them proud local owners with a well-earned national reputation.

Dinner is served nightly from 5 p.m. in Palm Springs and 5:30 p.m. in Palm Desert and La Quinta. Reservations are recommended.

SHOWN ABOVE: Just a few of the popular specialties featured at LG’s, clockwise from the bottom — Prime 8-Ounce Petite Filet Mignon and 7-Ounce Australian Lobster Tail; Oven-baked Beefsteak Tomatoes with olive oil, tarragon, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese; French beans sautéed with olive oil, lemon, seasoned salt, garlic, and spicy herbs. The suggested wine is 2003 Quintessa from California’s Napa Valley.

“LG’s Prime Steakhouses are a permanent part of the desert landscape and a popular attraction.”
