Creamy grits topped with sautéed shrimp, herbs, and a hint of spice for a Southern classic comfort dish.

"Honestly, I'm so bummed. I had been wanting to try this place for a LONG time. Finally got around to going. We had a reservation for 630pm, they took us right away. Wasn't very busy at all when we got there (although it did fill up towards the end of themeal). I started with a beer off the tap, it was delicious and they did have a decent beer selection. We started with the cheeseplate appetizer. Out of the 4 or 5 cheeses maybe 1 (cheddar) was really good, the rest were just ok, as one person said beforethe bread etc that accompanied the cheese was scarce...but again, appetizer. For dinner we both ordered the lobster shrimpbutter risotto. The risotto was mush and the lobster seemed like it was cooked twice over. Small lobster to begin withespecially for almost 40 dollars. The flavor was decent of the risotto but it was OVERPOWERED with fennel. So much so that mywife had to stop eating it halfway through because all she could taste was the licorice. We ordered the peach bread pudding fordessert. Ice cream was good, the bread pudding was too bread like, not enough milk or moisture. Seemed more pound cakey thanbread pudding. And there wasn't a peach or peach flavor to be found. The bill came and it was pricey! We don't normally look atthe cost of things...if we're going out, we're going out...but this was enough to jump off the page for what we ate. I wanted tocome have a pour of bourbon, but to be honest I was so taken back by the pure disappointment dish after dish, that I wouldn'thave enjoyed it so I just said nvm. We won't be back and I'm deeply disappointed by that."

"Out of towners who made this our super swanky meal of our trip. We came in with high expectations because of ratings and awards. My wife got the sea bass and me the filet mignon medium rare. I cook alot my own steak so I am a really tough judge. Anything above a 9 is great score from me. The filet got a 9.4. Cooked just right and not stringy/chewy. A 9.4 mostly because it was $70. I am not use to those prices back home! They surprised us with a complimentary birthday cake for me even though I didn't want anything showy. Waiter was really good adjusting to our needs and answering questions. I told him I drink alcohol fast and to bring drinks out quicker then most ppl allow. Particularly, it was a holiday weekend and I wanted to feel good. He did not disappoint. I had 3 beers and a double of whiskey with the steak. We spent $300 for two ppl includes tip."

"We came to Peninsula Grill for my wife and her Mom’s birthday. (both on the same day) The hostess was sweet and greeted us and asked “whose birthday it was?” And was so excited when we told her we had two birthdays! She typed it into the computer, and we were seated, and received drinks. We then waited around 40 minutes for bread. We were surprised to see multiple couples and groups who arrived after us receiving their entrees, and ended up waiting around an hour and 30 minutes for ours. We were not checked on by our waiter, and received dinner without an opportunity to order additional drinks AND we had waters empty. At this point, we were a little frustrated. The food was great, but our service was next to nothing and our waiter was surprised when we didn’t want to order any dessert, having been sitting there for near on 2 hours at this point. The phrase that we kept feeling was that we were not prioritized, even with two birthdays seated at the table. We were surprised at the low level of service we received as we’ve heard great things, but unfortunately we will not be recommending or coming back to Peninsula Grill ever again."

"Restaurant did not live up to expectations, rushed operations, extreme music noise level, waited 5 min for desk check in, 45 min for food, then texted to ensure our departure within 15 min of food service, as table booked, etc! Poor, uncoordinated staffing, table service lacking, with overall obvious restaurant management issues! Unfortunate anniversary choice, as we have experienced Nobu Budapest, have numerous Nobu cookbooks and appreciate a fine restaurant!"

"Food (fried chicken and biscuit were delicious) and cocktails were great. We had a reservation and were seated at the bar. Unfortunately the bartender barely paid attention to us. We had to ask to order our drinks and then our food, had to remind him we ordered drinks because he forgot, had to ask for utensils, etc. He never checked on us or even appeared to care. With so many wonderful places in SF, we won't be returning"

"Everything was great except the sauce for the steak Frites. Do not eat that sauce it is really bad. Pork rings are a must order, the best Iâve ever had. Shrimp and grits also fantastic not to be missed."

"overall the experience at firefly was pleasant. However, the food service was extremely slow. we sat at 5:30 a.m. and ordered at 6:00 a.m. our escapes were served only 7:30 a.m. this was not a mistake of our server, as it was extremely attentive and accommodating. I guess the kitchen was just overwhelmed, which was surprising for a Tuesday night. the music was very loud in the lounge area, but the manager was happy and quick to turn it on our request. the quality of the meal was excellent as the ambiente. Hopefully we will be served faster at our next visit."

"My family and I arrived for my daughter’s birthday celebration, but we were left ignored for over 30 minutes after being seated. During this time, we watched in disappointment as the family next to us received attentive service from wait staff, a manager, a sommelier, and even kitchen staff. I was tempted to protest and leave, but I didn’t want to create a scene on such a special occasion for my daughter. Eventually, I reached out to a wait staff member nearby to request service, and he was kind enough to take our order. Shortly after, a woman who seemed to be a manager approached us and explained that our designated waiter or waitress was no longer available. If we had been informed of this sooner, we wouldn’t have felt so neglected. I decided to try the pulled chicken, but it was overwhelmingly salty and unenjoyable. The manager did apologize and removed the dish from my bill, but the combination of unpalatable food and lackluster service is enough for me to decide against returning to this establishment."

"I always have a fantastic experience at this restaurant. I love how their menu changes with the seasons while still featuring a number of beloved favorites from previous years. The staff is excellent, and the cocktails are amazing!"

"We spent the day in the Bishops Arts area. Stopped in Enzo's with a party of 6 for pizza. We had salads, artichoke dip and pizza. The bartender was very friendly. The waiter was attentive. The artichoke dip was good, totally different than the usual, salads were fresh, the pizza is more of a flat bread. It is like pizza toppings on a cracker. It was a nice change and everyone enjoyed it but it was not the usual pizza. The atmosphere is lively and the restaurant has a great location. We had a good time and would come again."

"This is one of my favorite places in charlotte to eat . I took a friend who traveled from London who use to live in charlotte there because itâs usually a great vibe. Unfortunately this time around, it wasnât a great experience. The table they sat us at was bad they had to put paper under the legs but it was still unstable. Our waitress was horrible. We were told she was new but I think they gave her too many table to manage. She forgot to put our order in, our water cups was dirty. She brought another cup and that was dirty too. The appetizer I ordered didnât come out 15 mins after ordering it the waitress came back to tell us they ran out. I asked for a menu it took over 10 mins to get one. When I reminded her, She told another 5 mins to bring one. By then we asked another waitress and she got it to us. The drinks was decent. Manager came to our table and told us, our order wasnât placed so they comped my friends dinner. It was over over 1 hour and 30 mins. By then I wasnât interested in ordering food. I appreciate the management trying to accommodate. For future they shouldnât give too many tables to a new wait staff until their skilled enough to manage. I wouldnât write this placed off yet, the food is good here. I would go again. Maybe next time I will sit at the bar"

"The restaurant was conveniently located for us and the menu looked good. When we arrived they had no means of checking a reservation and didn't have a table ready for us. It took about 15 minutes for anyone to greet our table at all, so we were able to already decide on our dinner by the first time a server talked to us. It then took another 25-30 minutes for our dinner to arrive. We had a Caesar salad, sliders, and lobster mac and cheese and I wouldn't order any of it again. The beer was good and it seemed like a fun place. There was live music that was really good, but the whole place was so loud it was impossible to have a conversation."

"As the spouse of someone who uses a power wheelchair, it is extremely frustrating to arrive at a restaurant and find that there is no accessible seating available. There was no mention of this issue on their website prior to our visit."

"We come to Mesh every year for Veterans Day. Each year since 2015 has gotten a little worse, time after time. We will not return after this occasion. We were seating at a high top within the bar area, with the bar packed full of standing people, being extremely loud. I order Salamon, which was no cooked properly so my husband swapped me meals, our waiter never noticed nor asked if everything was ok. We ordered wine witho our dinner and didn’t get it until we were basically finished. Not pleased or happy… $150 bucks and would have been better at Texas Road House."

"Abigail's consistently delivers great food, but it can be quite loud. The service was excellent, and our meals arrived promptly without feeling rushed. However, my main issue was that the noise level made it hard to have a conversation. We visited for dinner on a weeknight, hoping it would be quieter, but it was just as busy and noisy as it is on the weekends."

"We had date night dinner reservations here on Saturday night January 8, 2022. We arrived 10 minutes prior to our reservation. We are always astonished by how seemingly complex and difficult it seems for the hostess to decode their iPad and determine whereto seat a party of two who has had a reservation for a week, but once we got past that we were seated at a nice table. First,this place is in a hotel moderately upscale multiple dining options throughout the hotel, this one being the nicest. For themenu prices, we thought it would have been a bit nicer if they created a bit more of a dining room/cozy feel, possibly closingthe curtains that are open to all hotel guests walking by whether they have yelling children or if they are dragging a redigloo cooler. There is a nice bar located centrally in the restaurant but an unfortunate placement of a light fixture impedesviewing of the televisions hanging around the bar, we thought that was odd. Still however, we had a great server named Hunter.He was prompt and courteous and all too ready to answer every question about the menu. My husband had the halibut and said itwas great and cooked very evenly throughout. The bar ran out of Woodford reserve and he was subbed another bourbon withoutupcharge. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and I have to say it was the most delicious I have ever had and I would return to thisrestaurant just to order this again. This is a 8 on the 1 10 scale. Yes recommend. Please find a way to create an intimatedining experience in this restaurant and it will be a literal home run"

"This was my 2nd time and I loved it even more. Took the whole family for my sister's birthday. We had the pizza that was out of this world, great crust. Gnocchi, ravioli ... everything is so fresh and delicious. John, the owner, is a real gentleman and knows how to take care of his customers and the server we had that evening. I never felt rushed and could just enjoy the atmosphere and the great food. I highly recommend this restaurant. We look forward to a reunion."
