    We had a wonderful dinner at Peninsula Grill. My husband had the Trout and I had the short ribs. Both entrees were delicious! We shared a piece of coconut cake, which was excellent.

    She crab soup was spoiled. They changed the original recipe. Epic mistake. It was, dare I say 100% inedible. He said quote they are tring to add rice to help. Just call it. DOA. 1 1st level seafood tower was incredible. Worth 3 times what we paid. The Antebellum ambiance is experential and I soakeff it up like a sponge baby!!! The filet was unctouos, umami and beautiful. Diver Scallops need work. Hire a better saucier.
    Peninsula GrillResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the she-crab soup didn’t meet your expectations—we take your comments seriously and will be reviewing the preparation to ensure it aligns with the high standards we set for every dish. That said, we’re thrilled that you enjoyed the seafood tower, ambiance, and filet, and we appreciate your honest input on the scallops. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience next time! — Peninsula Grill Management
