| - LOVE LOVE this restaurant.
Yeah, it's old-school. The décor is dated and Peter's is located on some road amidst apartment buildings and a gas station. But once inside, you are transported into a different era (okay a bit much, but I'm excited in writing this review!)
I decided to take my dad here for Father's Day, at his bequest. The place is tiny, but we were so lucky in getting a private-ish table on the "second floor" (which is only 4 steps up). I'm so glad we got this table because there was no one behind me and no one behind my dad. Love the older man with the crazy hair. It's like a Lion's mane - all thick, black, and flowing.
Service was amazing and we started off with a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella. We even got it in a fancy decanter which started the evening.
Highlights of the night were the table-made Ceasar Salad which is a show in itself. Both my dad and SO ordered the meat which comes in a very GENEROUS portion. I went for the Dover Sole (yumyum) and my mom decided to splurge with Alaskan King Crab. Seriously, the menu here has something for everyone and the prices reflect the generous (I can say that again) portion size.
I would highly recommend this place for parents and special occasion events, but hey, if you're in the area it could be a regular jaunt as well. Somehow, the old-ness of this place is what makes it so charming. And with waiters dressed in their penguin suits delivering A+ service, it just elevates Peter's that much more.
5 stars in my books!
