Came here for our wedding anniversary during restaurant week. Service did not drop although they were pretty busy on a Saturday during restaurant week. Jules was our server and she was excellent. Ambiance is great. I was not fond of our table near the stairs because it felt like we were in the middle of the room on display. Jules tried to get us another table but we preferred to stay with her. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes just right. This is a keeper! Oh and the scenery outside is great for pics.

roasted salmon with mashed sweet potatoes and green beans

We came here for Easter brunch. The restaurant was offering a special menu for the holiday that included limited traditional brunch dishes and a larger variety of steak options (3 different kinds). I would've enjoyed more brunch options but could understand the lack of variety since this is a steakhouse! The lighting was low - typical of a steakhouse - and the music felt like a bar with pop remixes on repeat. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Overall it was a fine experience but I don't know if I would return for brunch.

Filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus

Zucchini appetizer was delicious. Both entrees cooked to perfection and filet was cut with a butter knife. Carrot cake was wonderful. Espresso martini hit the spot. Wonderful service too. Highly recommend.

Tuna tartare
Kayla S.

Honestly it was fine. The tuna tartare was excellent but presentation was strange. Salmon entree was okay. Sea bass was good. Overall fine experience but slightly overpriced for what it offers.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a California Wine event here last evening, the food and service were outstanding. I had the most amazing duck, I have ever had in my life. The wine pair done by Heather were unique and paired amazingly well with each dish. We also had American waygu which I didn't even know was a thing until last night. It was a bit chewy but the flavor was amazing. If you have a chance to go to this gem, please do.

Prime House Salad

I had my first visit to Peninsula Prime during restaurant week the other week and had a great experience. The location is tucked in the back of a shopping plaza and has plenty of parking. It is elegant inside with bar, booth, and table seating. For my meal I started with the Prime house salad which included euro cucumber, heirloom tomato, red onion, and a vinaigrette dressing. Next, I had the braised short rib entree with goat cheese fregola and baby carrots. Lastly, my favorite part was the red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. It was overall a delicious meal and great service.

Oysters on The Half Shell*
Donna L.

Food is great. Everything taste so good and well seasoned. There is a lot of variety and options for everyone to select and of everything. Place doesn't look for big from the outside but there is a lot of seating. Even with it being spacious it doesn't lose its intimate feel. All servers and wait staff are super attentive and friendly. The portions are really large and great for the price point. The sourdough bread is good. I'd wish it was complimentary instead of having to pay 8 dollars. The truffle butter that comes with it is a little overpowering. We all had a variety of items. The oysters were great, prime salad with Champagne vinaigrette delicious, salmon was tasty, prime ribeye was good i heard. I had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast Whipped Potatoes, Green Beans, Beurre Blanc, the beurre sauce was good but a little too much was poured. I would have preferred it drizzle and it also was warm. They don't do larger parties so well, while our appetizers came out warm and on time, our main dish came out cold. We had a pretty late reservation, maybe it was an off night. I will be back though looking forward to it.

Steak and cream spinach
Sharonda D.

Me and hubby stopped by without a reservation for Valentine's Day, after our old faithful restaurant had a special menu with none of our favorites and not suitable for someone with seafood allergies. We hit google maps and found a place still open as it was getting pretty late. They were able to seat us immediately and the place was beautiful inside. We didn't particularly care for where they sat us as there were booths open and available but we were sat in the middle of the floor at a table made for 4. We were hungry so we accepted it. My husband ordered a top shelf Long Island which he didn't like too much but couldn't describe why. I ordered a calamari appetizer which arrived quickly and was superb. We ordered our food at the same time and it quickly followed behind. That calamari was so good I am ready to go back just for that. They did have a special Valentine menu so items were limited. But hubby ordered a warm spinach and mushroom salad topped with a over east egg. He thoroughly enjoyed it and still talks about it. For entree he got steak fried rice and it was delicious. I ordered a medium well steak and creamed spinach. Steak was cooked perfect and tasted well seasoned. Didn't care too much for the spinach flavor was kind of blah. We will return soon, service was great and attentive.

braised rib
Tacola J.

Queens Fest restaurant week which always falls on my mom's and brother's birthday and we wanted to celebrate them. Heard about Peninsula and wanted to give them a try. The place is really nice and clean. Immediately great by a host/hostess. We were actually like 15 mins early but they still sat us down which I truly appreciated. We ordered so much but it was 6 people at the table. We ordered off the Queens Fest menu and also on the regular menu. We started with salads (caesar and wedge), calamari and lobster tacos and Sloppy joes. Everyone raved about how good everything was. My sister truly enjoyed her wedge salad. Entrees came out and at first my mom's food was cold (braised rib and mushroom risotto) however they fixed it immediately and the chef brought it out personally and apologized. My salmon was cooked great and the glaze that came on it was really good. My sweet potatoes were really flavorful. My brothers and sister enjoyed their food (steak and shrimp with mashed potatoes and broccoli and one brother got the duck which was a pasta dish). He doesn't eat pork and forgot to mention no bacon. However it was ok. He truly ate around it bc you could tell where the pork was. The desserts were good and my mom enjoyed the lava cake the most haha. The real kicker was we brought in 2 separate cupcake cakes for my mom and brother who were shocked and the restaurant guests helped sang happy birthday to them!! It was truly amazing. All the staff came by and told them Happy Birthday as well. It was truly amazing and Kaitlyn (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) did an amazing job as our waitress all by herself. I can't wait to return. Oh yeah, the setup is amazing and my brothers were able to also be not too close and not too far to see the football games that were on. Def recommend visiting. You won't be disappointed.

To their credit, they didn't charge me for the Tomahawk (steak nuggets) they messed up
Apryl P.

We ordered a Tomahawk and were served steak nuggets with a dry bone beside it. To their credit they didn't charge us for the Tomahawk (steak nuggets) or this well-done (pink) steak below

Prosciutto Wrapped Cod
Jan M.

A beautiful interior space! The three of us could not have been mote pleased with our first visit to Peninsula Prime. Our server Angela was a welcoming start to the evening and provided us with insight to the menu options and recommendations when we asked. We each ordered a different glass of Chardonnay and all were to our liking. My husband started with the very good (cold and crisp) Prime Wedge. Our three entrées were Prosciutto Wrapped Cod, Steak & Shrimp Au Poivre and Maple Brown Sugar Salmon. Portions were generous and everything was delicious. For dessert, I ordered Salted Caramel Gelato - Yum! My husband and brother-in-law shared a large split portion of Carrot Cake. We would love to return on our next visit to see family in North Carolina.

For my app I ordered the smoked trout dip which comes with saltine crackers. VERY VERY GOOD! I feel like you can never go wrong with smoked anything. Was my first time having smoked trout and I like how the smokiness was the main attraction with every bite. The trout is thick and very noticeable, meaning the size of the pieces, not fishy in taste. Happy I was able to get some of colleagues to try it even though they were hesitant. They also ordered the spinach & artichoke dip. I felt the consistency of it was very liquidly compared to the thickness of the smoked trout dip. The flavor was ok. I personally wouldn't order that. For my entree I ordered the Music City fried chicken sandwich. Which is a Nashville hot chicken sandwich or so I thought. Usually Nashville style chicken sandwiches are drenched in very noticeable red sauce. Here not so much. It's a very light and settle experience. I did like the batter used on the fried chicken. It was light, airy and crispy. The size of the sandwich is typical which means I can usually only eat 1 half which is what happened. It came with slaw, tomatoes and pickles which complimented it very nicely. The shoestring french fries were amazing! You know the fries are good when you don't even need ketchup or any dipping sauce. Very well made. Prices were modest. My entree was around $17. I'd come back here for sure next time I'm in this area.

The decline in food quality and inattentive service have removed this restaurant from our rotation.

Prices are great, it's nice to be able to go somewhere for a nice steak but it's still in a casual environment.

The ribeye cap was the highlight, super tender, and the eye had a great sear and a lot of flavor. Overall a really solid steak, especially if you like a slightly sweeter profile. Got the cream corn risotto on the side. It was really good but very rich, definitely something you can only have a few bites of before it starts to feel heavy. My wife ordered the pecan crusted chicken. The portion was huge, but it stayed really juicy and had a nice crunch on the outside. Easy to split or take leftovers home. Cocktails were great too. The Negroni was well balanced and the blackberry smash was super easy to drink. They had a fried shrimp special (ninja shrimp or something?) and that ended up being one of the best parts of the meal. Crispy, sweet and sour, and a great starter. Solid spot if you're in Mooresville and want a steakhouse that's a little more interesting than the usual options.

Set right in downtown Davidson across from Davidson College, the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance--lively but still intimate.

Our server stood out immediately--deeply knowledgeable and able to walk through each dish with impressive detail, right down to preparation. It's easy to see why Kindred earned "Recommended" status in the inaugural Michelin Guide American South and continues to be recognized for top-tier hospitality and cuisine. We started with the Little Gem lettuce salad--fresh, bright, and elevated by the perfect crunch and subtle richness of pistachios. For my entrée, I had the rigatoni with guanciale, English peas, and pecorino sardo--rich, balanced, and full of flavor without being heavy. A memorable meal all around.

The place is lively without being too loud, you can easily have a conversation going and not have to shout at each other. Our server, Krystyna, took our drink orders and offered to put in an appetizer to start. We went with the deviled eggs, these are so delicious, but as I have said before, they are pricey. Entrees were next. We decided on the Tomahawk pork chop with charred carrots and ancient grain pilaf. It looked like a caveman's plate! The chop was tender and flavorful and the carrots were 3 whole carrots that you had to cut up. Very different. The best part was the ancient grain side. So, so good. Nice compliment to the chop and carrots. I had to take half home it was just so much food. Next entree was the 7oz Filet with Parmesan mashed potatoes. Garlic butter was added to the steak which finished it off nicely. It was cooked to the right temperature and looked delicious. We were interested in dessert, but not something so big. They have a large portion dessert menu, but we just wanted a small bite to finish our dinner with. If you ask, they can do some mini desserts for you. We tried the mini crème brûlée cheesecake. It is two squares of cheesecake with a bit of whipped cream, raspberry syrup and berries. Perfect size for two if you are quite full but just want a little something sweet. Overall, the service was good. We had to wait a bit for bread, but not a big deal. We enjoyed our night out before Valentine's Day. I still would like to come in for their weekend brunch. Sometime soon.
