   This was an overall stellar experience. Everyone’s food was prepared perfectly. This deserves all of the accolades that it receives. Obviously, the dessert of coconut cake was the proverbial cherry on top.

   I recommend against ordering She-crab soup. It had none of the expected flavors & tasted like a canned or boxed off-the-shelf preparation. The rack of lamb was delicious. The beef tenderloin Oscar-style tasted great but the presentation was sloppy as if an afterthought. We ordered2 glasses of champagne but were charged for 4 glasses; a $40 mistake. Check your bill!!

   The She Shrimp Soup was perfect. I ordered the salmon medium rare. It was served to order! The 12 layer coconut cake kicked my butt. I tried, but could not Finnish it. Outstanding meal and service.

   The food was phenomenal. She Crab Soup was the star. The service was attentive, but not annoyingly so. Would highly recommend

   Excellent meal. Wife had the filet and loved it. I had the lamb chops & they were extremely tasty. Only complaint was that the sides under whelmed. The foie gras was delicious but the mushrooms & asparagus were just so-so. Overall excellent with an asterisk.

   My second visit and I loved it again! My server, Kaj, gave great recommendations and I had a great Kansas City strip. My dessert of the cocoanut cake finished my dinner beautifully!

   Venue and atmosphere are wonderful. Food was very good. Menu a little heavy on steak, considering Charleston Grill, Grill 225 and Halls Chophouse are all close by and are known for their steaks.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback about the menu. While we aim to offer a variety of options, we’ll certainly take your note about diversifying beyond steak into consideration, especially given the vibrant dining scene nearby. Regarding the she-crab soup, we're sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations. Your comments have been shared with our culinary team, as we’re always looking to refine and improve our dishes. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide an even better experience. Warm regards, Dutch Andrus Peninsula Grill Management

   This is a terrific restaurant. The menu is quite basic, but everything is prepared expertly, and the staff is both welcoming and professional. Whenever we're in Charleston we never miss a visit. My faves are the local Low-Country seafood items and the filet. Again, a basic menu but all the bases are well covered. Oh... and that coconut cake. "Extraordinary" doesn't do it justice.

    Loved our dinner and sides. Just wished we’d had enough room left for dessert.
