| - The exterior may not look like much, but upon entering Peter's Fine Dining, you'll be convinced immediately that you will be dining finely. Valet parking is not available, and they seem to only have less than 15 parking spots in the back - I suggest parking at the plaza across. The interior decor is vintage and a bit grungy. The main entrance is small with a coat rack in the corner, the lighting is dark so be careful not to trip over the stairs.
The Food:
Mermaid Platter $67 - 6oz. filet mignon was overly seared and more medium than medium rare (what I ordered). The scallops were large in size but not tender at all. The crab legs were deliciously meaty, but again a bit dry. The baked potato wasn't baked thoroughly, as in the potato skin wasn't separated from the actual potato and the potato itself wasn't flaky but instead hard to dig out with my fork.
Baked Halibut - $34 Juicy and tender halibut with a small portion of veggies on the side.
Peters Cut Prime Rib $41 - This is their signature item on the menu, and when it arrived at the table, I see why. This cut is ENORMOUS! I was actually in a bit of a shock when I saw it. I've never seen such a large piece of meat on a plate. I tried a piece, and it was a little tough and overly salted on the edges. The Regular cut is significantly smaller for $38.
Banana Foster for Deux $20 - Exactly like a cherry jubilee, but with bananas! This is made beside your table, with a lovely fire show.
Service:
I have to stress the EXCELLENT service. Our water glasses are constantly filled, the waiters were not pretentious and were in fact very personable, making well-informed suggestions about what to order. They also know their wine list inside out. I also loved that they give roses to the ladies at the end of the night.
One thing that was unnerving was when I was entering the tip amount into the credit card machine - it felt like the waiter was breathing down my neck trying to see how much percentage I would tip. I didn't give them 15% out of pressure, but just a note, it could annoy some people if they always do that.
