Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Peninsula Grill offers an exquisite dining experience with "upscale service" and "impeccable" cuisine. Known for the "famous coconut cake," the restaurant is a "go-to special occasion spot" in Charleston. While some guests note occasional service lapses, the standout dishes like mussels and prime steaks cooked to "perfection" continue to delight diners.

    Peninsula Grill is our fine dining go to restaurant. But tonight, it didn’t quite meet our expectations. My filet was delicious. Every time we order steak at PG, it’s delicious. The disappointment was a grouper special that my husband and son in law ordered. The fish was very over cooked - dry and chewy. We should have sent it back. We also had scallops, mussels, she crab soup, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms, tart tatin and crème brulee. All of those dishes were very good to excellent.

    The overall service was good but we all thought the soup was not warm enough. My trout was too dry/overcooked and not enjoyable. I will not order that again.

    Dear Dexter, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that Jessica provided exceptional service and helped make your dining experience memorable. We'll definitely pass along your kind words to her. The raspberry mousse sounds like it was a great choice, and we appreciate your fun suggestion about the raspberry mocha – who knows, we might just explore that idea in the future! We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warm regards, Peninsula Grill Management

    It was a nice setting, food for the area was mediocre. Portions small for value. Many other great places I would recommend before going here.

    Everything was very nice. Portions were surprisingly robust and the service was great. The tilefish special, however, was overcooked and dry. Not flaky at all. It looked like it was sitting under the heating lamp which makes sense since it took a long time to receive our meals. I should have said something but didn’t. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.
