Welcome to Peninsula Grill, Where Dinner is Served with Style

Opened on the eve of Valentine’s Day in 1997, Peninsula Grill was destined to become one of America’s most romantic dining experiences.

With its resplendent sense of arrival, garden illuminated by flickering lanterns, iconic velvet-lined dining room, acclaimed wine list, exemplary service, and a reputation for using the very best and freshest seasonal ingredients, Peninsula Grill quickly appeared on the short list of America’s Best New Restaurants in Esquire.

Today, Peninsula Grill is known as the place where Charlestonians—and visitors alike—are served with style. Recognized for excellence, Peninsula Grill has earned Forbes Four Stars and AAA Four Diamonds for more than 20 years.

And no visit is complete without tasting the famous 12-layer Peninsula Grill Ultimate Coconut Cake™, a legendary dessert that has earned praise from scores of national magazines and television shows.

Peninsula Grill entry

Forbes says...

“Peninsula Grill has the sophisticated feel of an urban eatery without losing sight of its Southern charm. The menu is inventive, offering boldly flavored dishes spiced up with Lowcountry accents like collard greens, hushpuppies, grits and black-eyed peas. There’s also a Champagne Bar menu of decadent little treats like oysters, lobster, foie gras, caviar and duck pâté.”

THE AMBIANCE

An instant classic since its inception and the only Relais & Châteaux restaurant in Charleston, Peninsula Grill is renowned for truly elegant service, a resplendent setting, with unparalleled fine dining.
