   I had high hopes walking into L.G. Smith’s, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the reputation. The presentation was nice — everything looked the part — but the flavor just didn’t follow through. The steak was cooked well enough, but lacked that deep, seasoned flavor you’d expect from a high-end chop house. The scallops were decent, though a bit rubbery and underwhelming. The Brussels sprouts were probably the best part of the plate, though even they felt like an afterthought. The green sauce looked promising, but didn’t add much to the overall flavor. Service was polite, but nothing memorable. For the price and the ambiance, I expected a bit more excitement on the plate and a bit more attention to detail. Overall, not a bad meal — just not one I’d go out of my way to recommend or repeat. There are definitely better culinary experiences to be had on the island.

   It was amazing!!!! The bar tender that made our drinks was amazing as were the drinks! Our server was friendly and also made our dinner there one of the best we have ever had in Aruba! Can't wait to go back!

   This steak house was absolutely phenomenal! We had the tomahawk, dry aged, and lamb chops for choice of meat which all 3 were great! The ambience is some what like an oceans prime in Manhattan with not as many suits.

   The service was exceptional (george), food was excellent as well, drinks were excellent as well even though you have Stella on the menu but was told you haven’t carried it in a long time so it should be removed. When we got the bill I was going to pay cash since I don’t typically carry a credit card with me. But was informed you don’t take cash which is crazy since cash is king. It’s a good thing my wife had a credit card with her otherwise we would have been doing dishes, or driving back to the resort and back which is a 45 min round trip. You should let people know this…

    We’ve been here before and loved it so, we came back. We’ve tried some other steakhouses in Aruba and we like this one best. Once again, it didn’t disappoint. The food, service and atmosphere are outstanding. We tried the wagyu ribeye and it was a little more fatty than I expected it to be. The sides, drinks and desserts were all wonderful. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant.
