    I mentioned in my reservation that we were coming for a birthday, and they surprised us with 1) a happy birthday message printed on the menu, 2) a welcome birthday toast and 3) a birthday dessert. They were also highly accommodating to our 10-year-old, adjusting a simple buttered pappardelle that she went crazy for. Start to finish, cocktails to dessert, the food was outstanding and the service was just as great.

    11 out of 10 Favorite bites were the chutoro and the otoro toast with alittle uni on top. Cocktails were all amazing Price is very reasonable And it’s worth to add some of the ala carte options like the tuna truffle and uni Didn’t feel rushed even though the experience is limited to 90 minutes. Received countless reminders leading up to the dinner regarding the timing and expectations. Can’t wait for my next dinner there!

    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!
