    We arrived early and had an early cocktail in the beautiful bar area. Hostess came and got us when our table was ready. Lovely dinner and waitress, Zia, was so lovely. Our dessert order was erroneously delivered to another table, so Desert Club was gracious enough to not charge us for the dessert. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    We went for dinner on Christmas Eve; full menu! It was phenomenal! From the moment we arrived, the hostess was welcoming, our table for 5 was ready within 5 minutes (with the accommodation I requested), and our server was attentive and personable! Our food was really yummy…it’s been a long time since I’ve been there and everything was delicious. Two thumbs up for the lamb chops and their Local Salad is fantastic! Everyone enjoyed their meal; short rib, salmon, lobster tail, and fettuccini. Honestly, it was all wonderful and they brought out an Ice Cream Wedge for our birthday celebrant. A great evening!!

    This year is the first time we have been unable to have Christmas Eve at home with our friends. I need to have back surgery and cooking is an extremely difficult chore so my husband suggested we dine out and treat our friends of 30-40 years for a lovely dinner at LG’s. Well when you are going to spend that kind of money for dinner for seven, you want it to be extra special and it truly was. We ordered the Caesar salad and watching the server prepare it was a real treat. I realize that on a busy night like Christmas Eve that the preparation of a Caesar salad at the table is really going the extra mile. We truly appreciated that. We ordered several steaks and some Sea Bass and everyone raved about how perfectly cooked the steaks were and my sister and I had the Sea Bass. It was cooked to perfection. And what can you say about the side dishes. They are always exceptionally delicious. LG’s is one of our most favorite restaurants in the desert and it was a wonderful choice for Christmas Eve. Our waiter said he had been there for 10 years and you could certainly tell how well trained he was. He kept the drinks flowing and we waited on nothing. About 4 years ago we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary there in that lovely room downstairs with around 40 guests and again the food and service were exceptional. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve so special this year. There are hundreds of other restaurants here in the desert we could have chosen to show our friends how extra special they are to us but the choice of LG’s was the perfect choice. Thank you for contributing to a very Merry Christmas for all of us.
