I had dinner at the Peninsula and it was absolutely wonderful. The ambience was beautiful, the service was outstanding and the duck was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the coconut cake, which I thought was good, but not what I would consider extraordinary. I'm looking forward to returning!

My husband and I had to make reservations at Peninsula Grill when we were visiting Charleston for the weekend. The reason was due to the famous coconut cake. We arrived and the place was just stunning. The service was excellent and the food - oh wow! We started with some of their warm bread and butter, next was Lobster 3-ways,...

We went to P.G. for Mother's day dinner and had an almost perfect experience. The location is in the center of downtown Charleston and is beautifully decorated inside and charming outside.(there is outside seating for small parties...very romantic)... The table is nicely set and though the server was extremely accomodating and gracious, they were badly understaffed for a busy holiday...

Folks, based on the reviews, you can obviously have a fantastic dinner here. However, if your dinner dance card is already filled or you couldn't get a table here, do what we did. We had a fantastic dinner at one if Charleston's other restaurants but came to the bar for dessert and drinks. Get the coconut cake. Trust me.

I've also worked in the business so in addition to enjoying the food, i enjoy observing how a restaurant performs and folks, this place performs! The food, wine and desert selections are absolutely wonderful. I had dinner in a group of 15 and...

When you want fine dining in Charleston, this is the place to go. We had a group of 6 and it was excellent all around from the service to the food, drinks and dessert.
The streak tartare and foie gras appetizers were spectacular. The coconut cake is a little taste of heaven and I wish I would have ordered two...
