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 restaurant has now become a family favorite when dining in Charleston. The tile fish and double pork chop were both exceptional, and we complemented the meal with a delicious apple tart. The restaurant has a very warm ambiance and we found the service to be outstanding.

    First and foremost the food was not only beautiful, it was delicious!! The ribeye was cooked to perfection! The crab leg appetizer was spectacular! The coconut cake is to die for! We shared a slice after dinner and got another to go!! I would be remiss if I didn’t shout out the waitstaff. Our primary server, Michelle, was friendly and professional. She was attentive but not overbearing. She was perfection!!

    The food was good but not outstanding. The service was very slow the meal was very expensive for what it was and the unexceptional service. The facility was lovely and the ambience was great.

    Besides the food being delicious, and the atmosphere being elegant, Paul, our waiter, was above par. He was attentive without being intrusive. We will return and hopefully Paul will be available to take care of us.

    This is our third consecutive year dining with you all. The food and service significantly went down hill. After eating at Halls Chophouse it simply does not compare, our experience with you all was very disappointing as well as the food. We are sad to say that after three years we will not be returning.

    Easter brunch food was good. For the money I would have expected some better options and the staff seemed to be scrambling to be ready. Was surprised they were running late and it took a good amount of time to be seated.
