    This is the fourth time we have been here and this restaurant never disappoints us. We had wonderful food as always with new specials that evening. What a delightful time was had by all. You must try this restaurant if you have never tried it out. Exceptional and innovative dishes and beautiful ambience in La Quinta Old Town. The owners of this restaurant are locals and really know how to keep their customers happy.

    We were there on a Monday so the dining room wasn't full and the noise level low compared to busier nights. The food was good but is all ala carte so it was extremely expensive. Portions are large, though, and we brought home enough leftovers for dinner tonight. Service was very good and they passed my coffee test (arrives in a reasonable amount of time after request and offers a refill without being asked). My only complaint is that they put a large amount of food on a very small plate. It's hard to add a bit of any side dish or to cut anything without some landing on the table. Dessert is definitely big enough to share.

    I brought three couples of my best friends to the restaurant to celebrate one of our friends 75th birthday. It was a hit! First of all, we were greeted immediately upon arrival, moments later we were brought to our beautiful large table that was set for us. Wait staff approached almost immediately to provide fresh ice water and inquire about other drinks. Our waitress suggested a Cabernet, we bought a bottle and loved it. Many ordered the sunset dinner which included seafood, steak and/or chicken. I had the chopped steak and fries. An awesome piece of meat when cooked medium rare which this was. Dinner ended with a great dessert for my friend. The night was a success. Thank you!

    Dinner at the bar with my wife. Ribeye was a perfect medium-rare on a hot plate. They served a smaller portion of sliced cremini mushrooms rather than the full side. Perhaps the biggest hit of the evening was the creamed spinach…a total home-run! My wife had the pasta with shrimp which she enjoyed. I’ve been going to LG’s for years but I think the current kitchen crew has upped their game as this was my best meal there.
