Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Courtney Van Dyke

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always a special time at Peninsula Grill, a AAA Four Diamond Restaurant inside Charleston’s historic Planters Inn. Start with a drink in the Champagne bar before taking a seat in the brick courtyard surrounded by Palmetto trees and carriage lanterns. The Lowcountry menu offers elegant seafood towers, thick steaks and chops, and the Opulent Spud topped with caviar and gold leaf. Don’t miss the signature 12-layer coconut cake and the award-winning wine list.

    Kaj and Chef Dominic made our anniversary so special!! The service, food, martinis- all top notch! They sent out special bites and sent us home with one of the restaurants cookbooks. Can’t wait to come back. We will be putting PG on the regular rotation from now on!

    Decided to try this restaurant for a birthday celebration as it’s a known entity in Charleston. Unfortunately, the food was less than desirable. The steak was very salty, the béarnaise sauce and crab meat topped asparagus were lacking flavor. The oyster mushroom appetizer smelled like stinky feet. The ambiance was nice and the service was good. I would not recommend this restaurant. I am not sure how they have gotten good reviews. Perhaps they’ve had a chef change???

    Everything about our dinner was amazing ... and the coconut cake lived up to its billing! We appreciated being able to share our steak and it was prepared perfectly. This is a must-stop for dinner while in Charleston.

    Top notch restaurant. Food inspired and perfectly cooked. Presentation very special and serving staff a 10. The salad and lamb chops were the best that we've ever had. I'd make reservations and go there as our top place in Charleston.
