    A friend recommended that we go here for dessert and a night cap. I made a reservation in the bar since we were just going for dessert. When we got there, the hostess seemed very annoyed that we were only there for dessert even though it was 9pm and the dining room and bar were basically deserted. It’s not like we were taking up room from someone wanting a full dinner. We were told that if we wanted just dessert, we could always go to the place next door. We had wanted to experience the atmosphere of the Peninsula Grill with a nice dessert, not the basic spin-off next door. We considered dining here in the future but after the reception we got I think we will look elsewhere.

    First visit to Penisula Grill. I had dinner with 6 other colleagues. Everything was delicious. The steak, short rib, and scallops were outstanding. We finished the meal with incredible desserts. Damon was our server, and he did an outstanding job Would highly recommend this establishment.

    Very courteous, professional, and understated staff. Could have offered more help with wine options and selection. Food was good. May have been a little too pricey for value.

    We loved the ambience and service by Cosh. The beet and burrata appetizer was excellent. My wife’s wagyu beef was the toughest wagyu imaginable. My filet was over cooked and dry. I can grill a filet at home that is better. I did not care for the house steak sauce. Our sides were excellent. We finished with the famous coconut cake which was totally outstanding. Overall we enjoyed the meal but it missed our admittedly high expectations.
