About this place
L.G. Smith’s Steak & Chop House is an Aruba steakhouse located at Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort in City Center, Oranjestad. The restaurant’s official address is L.G. Smith Boulevard 82, and it is open nightly for dinner from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Marriott classifies L.G. Smith’s as a steakhouse, while the restaurant’s own website highlights interactive table-side experiences alongside its steak, seafood, wine and cocktail offerings.
Beef is a central part of the current menu. L.G. Smith’s serves USDA-certified Black Angus 1855 cuts including filet mignon, rib eye, New York striploin, porterhouse and other premium selections. The restaurant also states that its USDA-inspected prime steaks are dry-aged for 30 to 40 days. Current non-steak choices include salmon, lamb chops, grilled jumbo shrimp and Caribbean rock lobster tail, along with appetizers, sides and desserts.
One of the restaurant’s documented dining experiences is the Butcher Table. A chef brings a selection of Certified Angus Beef cuts to the table, explains the options and carves the guest’s selection before seasoning it tableside with a chosen artisanal salt. The steak is then cooked in the kitchen to the requested doneness. L.G. Smith’s also offers table-side cocktail preparation: its mixologists bring a cocktail cart to the table to prepare and serve drinks.
Wine is another established part of the restaurant’s offering. The official website states that more than 120 wines from around the world are available by the glass, while the current beverage menu includes wines, signature cocktails, spirits and beer. Reservations can be made by calling +297 523 6195 or through the restaurant’s official online booking option. Guests should also review the restaurant’s published dress code before visiting, and note that Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort currently operates on a cashless basis.
