On a recent visit to Palm Springs we were advised to dine at LG's Steakhouse. A friend of ours made the comparison that it was as good as a famous Beverly Hills steakhouse. So we ventured out to explore this higly recommended experience only to be very disappointed. We were there on a Monday nite. It was very quiet and were given a wide choice of tables, we had reservations but there were walk ins. We chose a booth in the front area. ( If you don't like the carnival ride the Tilt-A-Whirl, sit at a table.) We were greeted at the door very nicely and seated immediately. We were greeted by our server and given menus, water and bread. The wine list is extensive and almost overwhelming. We chose a bottle of wine and after it was served, our server, well lets just say she disappeared. We sat for a considerable length of time until she came back. Needless to say we had plenty of time and experience seeing all the salad and entrees going by for us to make a decision. We chose the tomato union salad. It was not the traditional salad you would get at a high end steakhouse. It was good and the portion large. We ordered the Crown Jewel, the house specialty, porterhouse steak. It was Ok, the tenderloin side was very good, but the strip side was tough and the edges were full of gristle. We had the side dish of asparagus which was tasty, very thick and the edges were hard and chewy. All and all, we were somewhat disappointed and have had better steak dinners at Mortons. If I were to return, I would order boneless steak and try some different side dishes.
Pros: Good location, wine list, comfortable seating, nice music, good lighting.
Cons: Slow service, inconsistency of meat
