Beyond the room are views of the lush Garden Courtyard and reflecting pool. Experience the acclaimed fare of four-star Peninsula Grill. For all guests business casual is the appropriate attire.

This was my third dinner in three years at the Peninsula Grill, and all three were amazing. The atmosphere is very elegant, but not stuffy, more of a "comfortable" southern charm. The wait staff are all exceptional and very knowledgeable about the cuisine. The food is amazing, the presentation and flavor are both unique to the Peninsula Grill. A memorable...

My wife and I spent 5 days in Charleston in October 2012 before I deployed and this was by far our favorite restaurant. We sat outside in the small courtyard which was quiet and had great ambience created by plants and landscape lighting. We had the seared foie gras with duck BBQ, black pepper biscuit and carolina peach jam as...

Set in the historic, yet sophisticated, Planter's Inn, the Peninsula Grill offers a menu and ambiance reflective of fine dining. The attentive staff ensured an efficient, yet unhurried service. Each dish was carefully prepared and beautifully presented.

The dinner was incredible - it started with a cold soup surprise from the chef and ended with a specially decorated plate with a piece of their famous Coconut Cake. The service was impeccable - Patrick was a great server. The dinner was well paced. I had the scallops appetizer while...
