    Made special reference to my name. Corey was kind to two 75 year old ladies who needed assistance. New York strip was large and thick, cooked to perfection. The Peninsula Grill Steak Sauce on the side was perfect combo of tangy and umami. Butternut and Balsamic Vinegar with Pomegranate Arils was a delight to taste buds tart and slightly sweet. The Center Cut filet was cooked perfectly with the Brown Butter sauce. Huge platter of Asparagus with Bernaise was perfectly steamed The Cosmos are to die for and so was the Red Snapper Cocktail , Coconut cake was OFF THE CHART!
