Had a great meal with these folks. Our server, Andrey was excellent. The meal was prepared as requested and the steak melted in our mouths. The wine list was extensive. We expected the sides to be family style but the were on our plates. My wife was pleased with this do that we could both have the sides that we... More

Per their menu: "LG Smith's serves certified Angus Beef Steaks, a cut above USDA Choice and Prime. Less than 8% of beef is [as good as ours]". This is flagrantly false. Angus is a type of cattle - it is not a USDA grading scale such as Choice and Prime. Further, less than 2% of USDA beef is graded as... More

My husband and I traveled as part of the All-Inclusive Package at the Renaissance Resort where this restaurant is situated. The restaurant staff and management seemed to enjoy making us feel like second-class, undesirable clients... ruined our evening. And the food quality was terrible. I received FROZEN carpaccio and an extremely thin rib-steak (approx 4mm) riddled with gristle, rather than... More

Great restaurant with great atmosphere. The food was good and i compare it to a "Keg" type steak house. They have other choices as well if you dont want to do the steak thing. Definately sit in Geordino and Joselyn area, and you will see why they call it the "happy Island".

During this trip we went to several of the Aruba steak houses; while they all were good, none were as good as the many great NY steak houses. Having said that, L.G. Smith has a really nice ambiance and the service is excellent. Children menu was great, able to get the right size and good quality fillet for my 7... More

I travel quite a bit for work, so I'm no stranger to high end steak restaurants. Do yourself a favor if you're in Aruba and want a steak...go here. My wife and I had a great dinner. Our waiter Andrey provided some of the best service I've had in all my travels, and his recommendations (and upsells :) ) were... More

Food was very good! Steak was cooked to perfection! Seafood was wonderful! Great Caesar salad, but if you don't like anchovies make sure you tell your server when ordering. Bread with butter and dipping oil is yummy! Dessert was just ok - we ordered the hot fudge sundae and it wasn't anything spectacular for an upscale restaurant - it was... More

We ate here twice in a week and both times the steaks and seafood are outstanding. It is pricey but look for coupons in the coupon books or at your hotel. If you go request Ian as your waiter he is awesome!

We've made a routine of including LG's when we come to the island yet have to admit that we were a bit disappointed with their 'misses' on attention to detail, as in not asking one of us what sauce for the steak, not adding the steak sauce when requested, not coming back to see how our entrees were, having to...
