Penumbra is a family-owned restaurant known for its attentive service and honest drinks. The steak sizes are perfect, particularly the rib eye and New York steak, which are highly recommended. The fantastic shrimp appetizer adds to the menu's appeal. The ambiance is comfortable, with semi-private seating options ideal for special occasions or date nights. The dimly lit atmosphere, paired with lively Latin music, creates an inviting environment that transports guests to another place. The cozy interior features candlelit tables and a great vibe. Vegetarian options are flavorful, and classic cocktails are offered, served by friendly staff. The pineapple mojito is highly recommended. Many guests appreciate the warm and welcoming atmosphere, including the owner and staff. Guests should be aware of a potential tip issue that can cause confusion when splitting checks. Despite this, many find Penumbra to be a hidden gem, perfect for a charming dining experience. There is also plenty of street parking available.
