My husband and I tried Peninsula Prime shortly after they opened in the former Alton's space. The food and service were amazing, and we'll definitely be back!
We tried a couple of cocktails to start. I had the cucumber martini, and my husband had the dewer's collins. Neither was very sweet (yay!), and both were delicious.
For our meal, we tried the shrimp and fried avocado appetizer. The portion was generous, and the shrimp, avocados, and sauce went so well together.
For our entrees, I had the verlasso salmon, and my husband had the pan-roasted chicken. Both were low-carb entrees that had incredible flavor. My salmon was cooked a delicious medium-rare, and the cauliflower was roasted perfectly. The chimichurri and lemon sauce complemented this dish quite well.
My husband almost got the Nashville hot fried chicken, but said the pan-roasted chicken was an excellent (and healthier!) substitute. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the roasted broccoli, corn, and avocado crema were perfect complements. (I even tried some of the avocado crema with my salmon, and might ask for a side of that to go along with my salmon the next time.)
Our server was friendly, helpful, and yet also unobtrusive. The wait between dishes was perfectly timed.
If I had one negative, it would be related to the interior space. If you liked the interior of Alton's, you'll appreciate Peninsula Prime's. The interior appeared almost unchanged from Alton's, although we didn't go there very often, so I could be wrong. We were seated in a booth upstairs, overlooking the downstairs dining room. The ceilings were painted black (as I believe they were before), and unfortunately, there was a bright light shining in my face. There was no artwork on the upstairs walls, and I hope they tone down the lighting and spruce it up a bit to make the upstairs dining experience a bit more inviting. The music, however, was hip lounge music that we really enjoyed.
Peninsula Prime knocked it out of the park with a varied menu for all types of diners. Thank you for offering several low-carb choices! We loved our food and the service, and will definitely return!
