It was just beautiful and the food, service and ambiance was incredible. I would recommend this to anyone in the Charleston area.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThe best restaurant in Charleston.My husband and I have been coming to Charleston atleast 2 times a year for the last 4 years while our daughter attended Cof C. We made a point of eating at the finest places in town but for whatever reason had not been to The Peninsula Grill. This wknd our daughter graduated and so we hit it and one other that we hadn't yet visited plus one of our favorites. We were blown away by TPG. Everything about it was wonderful. We only hate that we never tried it before! But we will be back!!!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMOur favorite!The Peninsula Grill is our favorite restaurant not only in SC, but in the US!
The food is divine! The service is truly "awe"some, and of course, the coconut cake--to die for! (Worth the gazillion calories :-)
We thought we would venture out the 2nd night of this trip and try other notable places...only to be wishing we had just stayed w/ our fav. Went back to PG our 3rd night. We love Charleston; try to visit every year, and alwaysss look forward to our evening at PG.

I would definitely recommend it and wished we would have had dinner here more than once while on vacation.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome experience!!!Our meal from starter to dessert was fantastic. The fresh ingredients combined with the perfect preparation make for a foodies dream meal. And by the way the best dessert is the banana "panna cotta" pudding not the world famous cocoanut cake.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMSoft Shell CrabsBy far, the best soft shell crabs I have ever experienced. Leave room for the coconut cake.
We would recommend to anyone looking for a special evening.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptionalCertainly one of the best that Charleston has to offer. The rack of lamb was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The duck was tender with a crispy skin.(delicious)! Service was unobtrusive efficient yet attentive. I would recommend Peninsula Grill most highly.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Desserts in a Romantic SettingI have always wanted to eat in the courtyard at the Peninsula. I looks magical as you pass by and glimpse past the gates and the lush greenery. We decided to go there for desserts on a beautiful May evening. It was every bit as wonderful as I thought.
Their famous coconut layer cake lived up to its reputation. A chocolate, dark, milky, all of the above - cake was divine.
I am so glad that we went!5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful . . . our favoriteWonderful . . . our favorite dining experience while in Charleston last weekend !5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMRomantic Newlywed DinnerMy husband and I truly enjoyed our experience at Peninsula Grill.

Wait Staff was great (our server had help bringing out the dishes so we all received our food at the samde time), food was delicious and timing was perfect. There was just the right amount of background noise to keep things lively without having to raise our voices to talk to one another.
Save room for dessert - our table split a piece of coconut 12 layer cake and the banana pudding. Both were great (especially the banan pudding).
Please note - there was no valet parking the evening we were there and parking can be difficult. Take a cab if you have to.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMFlawless in CharlestonSimply exceptional. Tremendous food. Flawless, engaging service. One of our best meals anywhere.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the dining room. SoftLove the dining room. Soft Shell Foie Gras and Veal Sweatbread apps were impressive. The Ribeye with a whole foie gras liver on it was AMAZING4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMCharleston GemMy girlfriend and I got in to Charleston late Friday night and got this reservation last minute. We decided to sit on the patio, which we shared with overhanging trees and ivy covered walls. Our waiter, Steve, was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We started with the foie gras which was decadent down to the last bite. We decided to go with the specials of the night, which were the soft shell crab and veal filet. Both delicious and great recommendations from Steve. He was just one of those waiters that make your night that much more special. Lastly, we highly suggest eating outside in the quiet courtyard/patio,4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMPeninsula Grill was amazing!Peninsula Grill was amazing!

I have eaten there several times. This time was as good as the last. Service and food are impeccable. There are many good places to dine in Charleston, and this one ranks at or near the top.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMFor me it takes 5 stars inFor me it takes 5 stars in all categories to garner an overall 5 star rating and this one was close. Had a nice corner two top that made this anniversary dinner special. Foie gras app as good as I've had in recent memory. Duck entree was excellent if not just a tiny bit sweet. Wife's sauce with lobster and scallop entree was simply fantastic, seasoned perfectly. Desserts - chocolate creme brulee and the famous coconut cake were tops if not rather large which wasn't bad I suppose. Service was attentive but never like the opening of more San Pellegrino water without asking. Ambiance - fine dining / romantic noise ok. Very fresh and as good as it gets in Charleston although have yet to try to newest spots.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday celebration. HaveBirthday celebration.

Very accommodating.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMTo say that the food and serviceTo say that the food and service were excellent is an understatement. It certainly surpassed other fine restaurants. If you are a coconut cake lover, their cake is a must and it is so large that it can be shared.I thought I made reservations far enough in advance for a good table, but obviously did not. My husband loved it and it was his birthday, so that is all that matters. He does want to return to Peninsula Grill for another special occasion.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMOne meal in Charleston? Go hereFor our 35th anniversary, my wife and I looked for a special place. We found it. Superb food -- she had the lobster trio to start and this transplant from Maryland was happily surprised with a first-of-the-season softshell crab simply battered and perfectly fried in fresh oil -- then perhaps the best rack of lamb ever enjoyed anywhere and hot, crispy sweetbreads prepared to this diner's specs with local fresh mushrooms. Incredible loaf of airy hot bread completed a memorable experience. Service from Justin and others was impeccable. (Lest we forget, a fine amuse-bouche of cold crayfish bisque opened the culinary festivities). We've been in Charleston less than a year and are trying restaurants all over the area. So far, this wins!4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazingThe food was amazing and the waiter was very nice. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good food and has the money to pay for it.
