   This restaurant is closed. It has been put up for sale. My family showed up after making a reservation through OpenTable and the place was completely boarded up. I had eight elderly relative standing on the street at 7pm on a Saturday. Luckily we were able to get everyone into the bar next-door for fish and chips. I try to alert OpenTable to this, and no one has gotten back to me other than to send me a request for a review.

   We had a wonderful time! The service was topnotch and Tony made it an even more memorable experience. We had a large group of 11 and they made sure to get every order right. We appreciate their hard work.

   Service was wonderful. Our waitress did a phenomenal job. They do not know how to cook a steak properly. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came to me raw. They took it back so that I could get a new one. They used the same one they had given me and just cooked it more, which I don’t mind but that’s cross contamination. When it came back it was more of a medium/ almost well done. Their chicken alfredo was ok but not as good as most places I go. My mom had a scallop risotto (I believe that is what it’s called) and couldn’t eat it. Scallops were bland and risotto inedible. Their fries were really good though.

   Easter Day. Service was horrible. Waitress didn’t know the menu. She never came by. We had to look for her or order at the bar . Food was very bland. Cheap champagne. Had Fettuccine Alfredo and Vodka pasta and a bottle of cheap champagne and it was $100.

   First time coming here. The valet was not around so we didn’t realized he was even there so we parked our own car which we didn’t mind at first. The valet was apparently cold so he was sitting in his car. We went inside and as I walked in I started noticing things weren’t in the best condition. The place could use some fresh paint and a little face lift to bring it up to par to the location. The menu was different that what they had online which was a little surprising. They were having a Valentine’s Day special which we ended up going with. Our server was quite nice but maybe new. They had a band playing which was enjoyable and the views were nice from the little booths by the window. The booths and the tables are a little weird height wise to eat food. We ended up having a good dinner, just nothing that was special enough to come back for. As we start walking out the valet is no where to be found and he comes back from his car. He brings the car out and we are getting in and tipped him and were getting ready to take off. He lastly adds that there is a fee for the valet of $10. A little weird that he didn’t mention this as we first got there and there was no sign anywhere saying this. We paid and just left. All in all, the views are nice the place and food is just average.

   We enjoyed a Valentine's Day dinner at The Penninsula Lounge. The friendly staff were fantastic, the live music was great and the food yummy. We will be back!

   We had the absolute best time celebrating our friend’s 50th bday. Definitely a day/night to remember, everyone at Peninsula Lounge was wonderful. Service, food, music, location was outstanding. Especially the GM Tony, he made the evening for us with his extra service and going out of his way to make everything perfect. Couldn’t have chosen a better place for our celebration!

    Everything is dirty. The food is overpriced. My wife’s scallops were extremely fishy. The live music which was horrible was turned up so loud that I couldn’t talk to my wife across the table. Drunken birthday party next door. When walking up the steps seeing how torn up and disgusting they were we should have walked and found somewhere else to eat.
