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.

    This was my second dinner after a one year break. The restaurant is tired and warrants remodeling. The good and drinks were over priced. The waiter was ok.

    Server inexperience., combined with extensive food and drink wait times made this evenings meal almost unbearable. Group tables were too close to hear conversations. Too busy to serve and support our party. Stephanie our server was very personable but we lost time for drinks, appetizers and meals. Meals were served cold and some overcooked. Would not recommend.

    Delicious food and probably the best cocktails we’ve had in Charleston. While a couple of tables were a bit rowdy, we will certainly be back there soon.
