The menu has changed since we last dined, and we like the changes. If you are a fan of Fried Green Tomatoes, try them! The Kale Apple and Freddie salads are excellent.

As usual, the food was outstanding and the service was fast and above expected. We go often before plays at TPAC because they always have wonderful food and get us in and out quickly so that we arrive in time for the play.

Our server, Lisa G, was absolutely outstanding. Professional, helpful with menu selections, friendly and cheery made the evening a great outing. The food as usual was outstanding. We shared the pate appetizer which was a combination of wonderful flavors and had the venison and the salmon which were terrific. A Pavlova (great) and espresso closed a great evening. This is why (deliciously innovative dishes and great service) we return to Etch. over and over. Kudos to the team and highly recommended.

Me and my girlfriend went here for our anniversary. Service was amazing and we were stunned by how good the bread and butter was. We ordered the duo entree and shared each steak. This with a side a Mac and cheese and the mushrooms were plenty to fill us up. Best part of the meal might just have been the sides because wow i have never tasted better mac and cheese and this place made me like mushrooms which i never thought was possible. Great experience and great night. Would recommend!

Wife and I traveled to celebrate her birthday, and I decided to make reservations at Peninsula. Let me say I am glad I chose this place! Excellent service from the hostess and our waiter. we ordered 5 dishes to try, and everything was fresh and exciting. Intimate feeling within the restaurant itself with limited seating. Seemed all the waiters were busy checking on guests and taking care of everyone, nobody sitting on their phones. They explained every dish as they brought it out. They arrived quite quickly as well. We did not have to worry about anything. 100% recommend this experience and we will definitely be back at some point!
