We start with the freshest seafood we can source and ingredients chosen because they belong on the plate — not because they make a good marketing line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/456c6046-018e-4d82-8709-4ae3beb0be4b/Prime+Rib.jpg Home - Handled Well. We continue with prime steaks. Whenever it makes sense, we work with local and regional farms and producers. Our kitchen lets those ingredients do the talking, whether you’re here for oysters and a cocktail, a bone-in ribeye or dinner with family and friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/f2aac74d-c6e8-453f-ae3f-528f7f501706/collage.webp Home - Meet Us at the Bar Come early for a cocktail. Stay for dinner. Or make the bar the whole evening. Our bartenders pour everything from house cocktails and carefully chosen wines to a deep collection of bourbon, whiskey and spirits. Add Bar Bites and a seat on the patio, and you may decide not to go anywhere else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/e156d7a9-633a-4a89-a4b6-d1b031366b07/private-dining-room.jpg Home - Gather Here Birthdays. Anniversaries. Business dinners. Rehearsal dinners. An evening with the people you haven’t seen enough lately. Some occasions call for a little more room. Peninsula Prime offers private dining and event spaces with the same food, service and attention we bring to every table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/86f84eeb-5de9-49df-ae79-9e076bf54742/new%2Bsign2.jpg Home - Our Place. Our Community. Peninsula Prime is locally owned by Jim and Robin Gordon, and the restaurant reflects something they care deeply about: giving Lake Norman a place where great food and genuine hospitality feel close to home. They’re not interested in creating a restaurant that feels precious or intimidating. They want people to come in, get comfortable, eat well and leave already thinking about the next visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/3decfaeb-a878-4487-9843-f0d1086b869a/map.png Home - Worth the Drive. Closer Than You Think. Peninsula Prime is in Cornelius, but our guests come from all around Lake Norman and beyond. From Davidson, Huntersville, Mooresville and Denver, we’re an easy choice for dinner close to home. If you’re coming from Charlotte, head north — great steaks, fresh seafood, a deep wine and bourbon selection, and genuine hospitality are waiting for you at the lake. Whether you’re meeting friends at the bar, celebrating something important or simply looking for a really good dinner, we’d love to have you here. https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/events-calendar daily 0.75 2026-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1691003054850-FPM75NVV78NQVSW4Y8F3/IMG_6724.JPG Events & Live Music https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/events-calendar/live-music-wednesday-justin-mintun monthly 0.5 2026-08-01 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/events-calendar/live-music-wednesday- monthly 0.5 2026-08-01 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/events-calendar/girls-just-want-to-have-brunch monthly 0.5 2026-08-03 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/events-calendar/pbbj1395clsrbnv1qb4idrgst4ezls monthly 0.5 2026-08-01 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/pplkn-blog daily 0.75 2026-07-11 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/reserve-your-table daily 0.75 2026-08-14 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/private-dining daily 0.75 2026-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1660259621992-GD0HVECOSISVBL9GSKO2/unsplash-image-JKMnm3CIncw.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407458310-0KQL9N5ZMWWSAMV3NCVC/Wedding+3.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407420492-X88VXSHBYYUP8OKZR36X/Rehearsal+Dinner+1.PNG Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407454486-74RW5VTFVWYCKRINPR84/IMG_9573.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407418007-M2BW0Q898ZIG61NXSMYE/LKN+Blonde.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407454114-1S2SEDI3VLAHZ0GVQZUG/IMG_9575.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407456596-QFWZ5C7S9676REQZ45AY/Wedding+1.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407457292-LWAX0ZCWNHRNO19TA33D/Wedding+2.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1730407459246-5A9U36MCBU7C87XKFJUA/Wedding+5.jpg Private Event Spaces | Peninsula Prime, Cornelius NC https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/our-story daily 0.75 2026-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/46d75a4c-7e03-40c8-808a-972107dffcdd/new%2Bsign2.jpg Our Story https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/feedback daily 0.75 2026-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/46d75a4c-7e03-40c8-808a-972107dffcdd/new%2Bsign2.jpg Share Your Feedback | Peninsula Prime LKN https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/employment daily 0.75 2026-08-03 https://www.peninsulaprimelkn.com/dinner-menu daily 0.75 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1be42ba9-82c9-447e-b379-b382078c2197/IMG_0854.webp Peninsula Prime Menu — Steaks, Seafood & Chef-Crafted Plates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/1664660494273-0MZP80JG7Y8ZB42571O4/IMG_1593.jpg Peninsula Prime Menu — Steaks, Seafood & Chef-Crafted Plates -

Featured on Good Morning LKN Inside Peninsula Prime with Jim Gordon In this conversation, Jim talks about the work behind Peninsula Prime—the changes made after Jim and Robin took full operational control, what they learned from listening to guests, and why hospitality, quality and community now guide the restaurant. The discussion gets beyond the menu and into what Jim and Robin are trying to build: a polished neighborhood restaurant where people know each other, regulars feel at home and a great dinner is only part of the reason people come back. 03.25.26 Listen to the Podcast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/69a5e091-74a1-4e0c-8f93-ddd7071b0ffa/Restaurant+Week.png Media - Peninsula Prime During Charlotte Restaurant Week Peninsula Prime was featured by WBTV during Charlotte Restaurant Week as restaurants across the area welcomed guests back during a challenging period for the industry.

Peninsula Prime has worked to make dining out more comfortable for guests with autism and other sensory sensitivities through sensory kits, visual menus and a team prepared to help families create a dining experience that works for them. For Jim, this isn't something to turn into a marketing campaign. It's something a restaurant should actually do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e18a74e43a815dc0c59d5b/8f689d86-e397-4b27-b4ad-2ea43a56f2a2/goodgoodgood+mag.png Media - Peninsula Prime Making Dining More Accessible A look at Peninsula Prime's efforts to create a more comfortable restaurant experience for autistic guests and families with sensory needs.
