I haven’t been here since it was Alton’s which we loved. Still the same dark (dimly lit) upscale feel that it always had. Atmosphere is really nice, great for a date night or solo dining for someone wanting to treat themselves. Initially, I was a little perturbed because it took almost 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge me once I was seated. Afterwards my server (Julia ) was very attentive and pleasant. She definitely made up for my initial wait and gave great suggestions when asked. My drink of choice was the old fashion, they have a great bourbon selection and I enjoyed my drink. My appetizer was the layered crab cake, please be aware that it comes with a fried on on top, I got mine poached medium, it was really good and a change from the norm which I found refreshing . I got the fresh wild caught salmon along with the whipped potatoes. The salmon was perfectly seasoned, as well as perfectly cooked. I truly enjoy the salmon, probably top five ever. Potatoes were just a tad salty but I really enjoyed them too (blood pressure be damned). All-in-all I would recommend giving this established a try, I found it was worth the cost.

Attended Peninsula Prime tonight for our 3 year anniversary. It was absolutely amazing. From the moment we were seated by our amazing host up to the end. Our host went out of her way to ensure our table was set up beautifully. Our menus designed especially for us with the word Happy Anniversary Cora’s on it. Our server Tim, also known as TJ, gave us outstanding service to say the least. He was friendly, respectful and very knowledgeable. Everyone there Acknowledged our anniversary. The dinning experience was nothing short of amazing . The food ……… to die for. I recommend the lobster. The drinks , let’s just say we will be back. Complimentary champagne for our anniversary. Icing on the cake. We have already made plans to go back. Tim we cannot thank you enough and we will see you in two weeks. You all truly made our special day memorable.

My husband and I had our company Cocktail Party here and Linda was such a great help with helping us arrange this event & helping us with our food choices and was super quick at responding. If you need help with a company event just call Prime and she will definitely be a great help! 🙂 Angela Broadway was our server and she was outstanding!! She attended to all of our agents so fast and stayed on top of everything, definitely recommend her if you have a company event that you want someone great to help you with. The food was incredible and the way they laid it out was beautiful!!! All of our agents spoke so highly of the event and loved it. They even had a front entrance set up for us outside the front door for our agents to get pictures with our company Name and Logo! We will definitely be doing our events there more frequently! The atmosphere and service and food was a 10 out of 10 for us!

Food took a long time to come out. Was not as tasty for the price. I feel they could have done better. The chandeliers need a deep clean. They are just nasty. Waiter was nice but he could lay off the caffeine. Probably won’t come back. The chicken was the only tasty entree. We ordered the salmon and the steak as well as the chicken. We also ordered the shrimp appetizer. We were shocked to only have received 4 shrimp for $22 .

The Chef did not have to play with our hearts and stomachs the way he did! He is a God in that kitchen! Everything we ate was phenomenal, outstanding, superb, above and beyond any of my expectations. He is passionate about his food and I can tell because everything was made with love! Our lovely waitress Angela was amazing along with Anna! She felt like a best friend, she described everything on the menu in so much detail that it was hard for us to even choose. Everything sounded amazing and absolutely the food lived up to the descriptions and the hype in taste and presentation! I will 1000% return. The atmosphere was beautiful, it was inviting, the staff is amazing, and the food was out of this world! There was a party in my mouth with every bite. My delicious drink, The Royal Rose, gets an honorable mention because it made me feel like a delicate Caribbean flower. As for the food!!! We started off with the calamari, the sauce pairings were delightful, we also had the Cambridge Oyster- delicious, and the savory appetizer and the potato salad on there surprised me with how delicious it was. The Lobster tacos were crispy on the outside with a nice citrusy blended flavor on the inside! Reminded me of Ceviche DELICIOUS ! For our entrees, My friend ordered the steak and shrimp with the peppercorn sauce and whipped potatoes. She stated everything was great! We could tell because she didn’t even leave any of her food on her plate. I tasted it myself and it was amazing. My other friend ordered the Pacific Barramundi with the shrimp and lobster Risotto, the chef had the audacity to put all of those things together on a plate and we couldn’t even believe how amazing that combo was!!! ! I ordered the Atlantic Halibut with rock shrimp mashed potatoes and lobster Nage!!!! All of the items in my plate including the garnish married together to have the most amazing flavorful meal experience ever. I didn’t think I would be able to do anything else but was convinced to top it all off with dessert. The Raspberry Coco Duet cake with the crème Brûlée was disrespectfully delicious- disrespectful because I was already stuffed and couldn’t even imagine making space for dessert but I’m so glad I did because it was sooooo good! Hands down a great dining experience from beginning to end! I plan to come back for my birthday!! The other super cool thing is that the menu constantly changes so it’s going to be new and fresh every time we come! I love it here!!! Everybody needs to run to this restaurant expeditiously! You’re in for a treat!!!

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are prepared to drop a lot of cash, this is the place to go. You know the banquettes from old Hollywood where you feel like you’re in your very own room, but being served amazing food and amazing martinis? this is the place to go. The service was amazing. The bartender was on by herself and never missed a beat. We love Angela. The food was amazing and the company?Thank you Jessica and Joe, was sublime. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get there. I certainly will be back. Thank you chef. Thank you staff. Thank you, Angela

We had reservations as a mother day dinner. We were lucky to have Tim as our server. As bourbon aficionado we were happy with the bourbon and whiskey collection. The smoked old fashion was great. The chocolate tobacco was a wonderful scent and taste elevation. Tim was very knowledgeable about all drinks, all food and desserts. He was down to earth and made us feel welcomed even with a 3 year old rolling around on the floor some. Peninsula Prime Should consider him a wonderful asset to their team. While we live a decent length away we will come back thanks for to the amazing service with Tim.
