   After many years, my wife and I had the opportunity last night to return to Peninsula Grill. We fondly remembered our first visit and were excited to be back. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to our memories or the high reputation this restaurant enjoys. The bland food and thin service staff did not justify the $300-plus cost for a dinner for two. I can tell when a restaurant is cutting corners on food and staffing, and none of that should show for that price range. The only bright spot was the legendary coconut cake, which is still excellent. But I doubt we will be back anytime soon.

   Peninsula Grill did not disappoint! Beginning in the parking lot, we were being helped. Adam confirmed and showed us a shortcut to the restaurant.(we were walking from our hotel, Emeline to PG) we were seated immediately and the hospitality began! Our waiter (we can’t remember his name but he was awesome) brought a roll & butter basket. We started with a shrimp cocktail followed by the Filet and asparagus with béchamel sauce. And of course, ended with the famous PG Coconut cake-which is a must have! Everything was absolutely perfect! This was our 4th or 5th time we have ate here while visiting Charleston and hopefully will not be our last!! Keep up the great work!

   Normally it’s excellent but..food suffered this time. The rack of lamb was over cooked for medium. The tile fish special was good , not great, and should be. The sauce was thin and lacked flavor The service was excellent. The wine list lacked wines by the glass and the usual massive offerings . Whe I asked a wine question regarding more wines I should have been directed to the somlier..! The value for the money is usually excellent,not this time. We’ve been celebrating special events there for 10 years as local residents and before that for close to 15 years.

   If a restaurant wants to char a steak as cooking method, they should notify you in advance or emphasize it when ordering. Everyone does not enjoy a burnt meat flavor and a tough texture as a result, and it was unexpected! The Caesar salad did not resemble the original enough to be recognizable.

   Definitely a great place for a date and the food is very good. Lawrence was our waiter and he was excellent… attentive but not intrusive. Oysters were lovely and the she crab soup was outstanding.
