The food was out of this world. Some of the best food we have ever had. The ribeye melted in my mouth!
We knew the food was going to be good, but this place was mind blowing. If I could only come to one restaurant in Charleston, this would be it. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like an honored guest and every bite of food was bursting with flavor. If you don’t get their world famous coconut cake, you’re really missing out. The scallops and the wagyu were other highlights of the meal. The grouper ceviche was also truly delightful. Impeccable service. 10/10
The food here is outstanding. But the service is even better. The wait staff of very attentive and the executive chef even came out to see how the food turned out. I did not get a picture of everything as there were 9 of us. But suffice to say everything was very very good.
First time having dinner Birthday tonight. Delicious, knowledgeable staffs, experience chef, historical design. Great location in downtown Charleston.
Charleston never disappoints! First time at Peninsula Grill! So classy. And Cory will take care of you at the Champagne Bar! He is amazing! Cliquot by the glass! Steak is so good. Didn’t try the coconut cake because we were too full, but it needs to happen!
This establishment has been on my list ever since I discovered the existence of the coconut cake. The food was great. I had the steak, smashed potato salad which were both phenomenal. The lobster three ways was also delicious. The coconut cake was heavenly. I definitely understand why it popular. The staff really puts a lot of effort into your experience.
The Peninsula grill was everything an upscale southern steak house should be. The vibe was classy but not at all pretentious . Our sever Ben was warm and very helpful in guiding our selections on everything from appetizers to wine. The cocktails were fantastic and the steaks perfectly cooked. The warm potato salad was one of the best things I ate in Charleston. And of course, the coconut cake slaps. I would definitely recommend the peninsula grill to anyone looking to have a nice night out in Charleston.
We went to Peninsula Grill in Charleston for my wife’s birthday, and the whole experience lived up to the hype. The menu felt like something you could happily get lost in. We ordered rack of lamb, swordfish, roasted oysters, and a few other fun dishes because we wanted to sample as much as we could. Every plate landed perfectly. The drink list looked incredible too, and even though we were not drinking since my wife is expecting, we were definitely eyeing what the other tables were enjoying. The atmosphere was calm without feeling stuffy. A couple of families with children were there during the early dinner window, which gave the room a comfortable, lived in feel. Our 530 pm reservation made the whole evening relaxed and pleasant. If you love food and want a meal that feels a little elevated, with staff who take great care of you, Peninsula Grill deserves a spot on your list.
I love this place! We will come back! So classy and elegant! Wonderful food and the most amazing service they made us feel welcome! Very happy with our choice of coming here for Sunday Brunch! Love the beautiful historic feel!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Peninsula Grill. While our tomahawk steak took longer than expected to cook, the way the staff handled the situation was beyond exceptional. They graciously comped our meal and, on top of that, surprised us with complimentary caviar and oysters. It was our anniversary, and this level of thoughtfulness truly felt like a blessing. The service was attentive, kind, and genuinely caring, turning what could have been a delay into a memorable and special celebration. This is the definition of excellent hospitality. We were so grateful and will absolutely be returning. Thank you, Peninsula Grill, for making our 16th anniversary unforgettable.
