    The She Shrimp Soup was perfect. I ordered the salmon medium rare. It was served to order! The 12 layer coconut cake kicked my butt. I tried, but could not Finnish it. Outstanding meal and service.

    The food was phenomenal. She Crab Soup was the star. The service was attentive, but not annoyingly so. Would highly recommend

    My second visit and I loved it again! My server, Kaj, gave great recommendations and I had a great Kansas City strip. My dessert of the cocoanut cake finished my dinner beautifully!

    Venue and atmosphere are wonderful. Food was very good. Menu a little heavy on steak, considering Charleston Grill, Grill 225 and Halls Chophouse are all close by and are known for their steaks.
    Peninsula GrillResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback about the menu. While we aim to offer a variety of options, we’ll certainly take your note about diversifying beyond steak into consideration, especially given the vibrant dining scene nearby. Regarding the she-crab soup, we're sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations. Your comments have been shared with our culinary team, as we’re always looking to refine and improve our dishes. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide an even better experience. Warm regards, Dutch Andrus Peninsula Grill Management

    This is a terrific restaurant. The menu is quite basic, but everything is prepared expertly, and the staff is both welcoming and professional. Whenever we're in Charleston we never miss a visit. My faves are the local Low-Country seafood items and the filet. Again, a basic menu but all the bases are well covered. Oh... and that coconut cake. "Extraordinary" doesn't do it justice.
    Peninsula GrillResponded 2 days ago
    Dear Frederick, Thank you for your glowing review and for making Peninsula Grill a must-visit whenever you're in Charleston! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience, from our expertly prepared dishes to the welcoming and professional service provided by our team. Your appreciation for the Lowcountry seafood, filet, and of course, the coconut cake, truly warms our hearts. Hearing that our signature dessert is "extraordinary" is the highest compliment we could hope for! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable visit. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Warm regards, Dutch Andrus Peninsula Grill Management

    Dining at the Peninsula Grill is an amazing experience. There are so many reasons why this restaurant shows up on all the “Best of Charleston” lists. Their seafood tower and caviar presentations are fantastic. They have excellent cocktail and wine selections. We enjoyed Duck and salmon as entrees. Portion sizes are more than adequate. One has to have their famous coconut layer cake as a finishing touch. Service was attentive and enjoyable. For a special occasion or just as a real treat, it’s a must!
