Charleston, South Carolina, is known for a few things: southern charm, great seafood, and coconut cake - OK, maybe that last one is specific to Peninsula Grill.
Peninsula Grill is a high-end restaurant that promises an exquisite experience.
“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.” — FORBES TRAVEL GUIDE
I found myself at the champagne bar area and looking over the menu.
But first, some warm bread and incredible butter with salt.
And then, one of my favorite things, a little gift from the chef.
It was a raw fish with fresh herbs and sauce.
And I ordered the - Lobster "3 Way" Lobster Ravioli, Lobster Tempura and Sautéed Lobster with warm Tomato-Basil Beurre Monte.
It's small, but oh so satisfying.
And the main reason for going: The legendary 12-layer ultimate coconut cake.
"Today, Peninsula Grill is famous for its signature 12-layer Ultimate Coconut Cake®, one of the South’s most celebrated desserts. Slices of the cake are served to guests at the restaurant nightly, and entire cakes are shipped across the United States via overnight delivery. This beloved cake that has earned praise from AFAR, Bon Appétit, Conde Nast Traveler, Food & Wine, Good Morning America, Martha Stewart Living, Saveur, Southern Living, The Food Network, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Travel & Leisure, TODAY Show, USA TODAY, and Vogue, among others."
