Excellent food and service as always. Worth the trip from the west side of Nashville where I live. I had the char which was absolutely delicious. Four of us shared a salad because of the generous serving size and the always yummy fresh rolls. This is my go-to place for inventive seafood. And now that the development at Neuhoff is underway, the appeal of visiting the neighborhood is ratcheting up.

Wife and I traveled to celebrate her birthday, and I decided to make reservations at Peninsula. Let me say I am glad I chose this place! Excellent service from the hostess and our waiter. we ordered 5 dishes to try, and everything was fresh and exciting. Intimate feeling within the restaurant itself with limited seating. Seemed all the waiters were busy checking on guests and taking care of everyone, nobody sitting on their phones. They explained every dish as they brought it out. They arrived quite quickly as well. We did not have to worry about anything. 100% recommend this experience and we will definitely be back at some point!
