Came here for a date night and our server beautiful Jose made our experience here - he was the best. We loved the scallops, the pea soup, and the espresso martinis!

Everything is amazing, but I especially love the shadow shrimp, ribeye and the pablano soup. The staff are all really welcoming too and the space is beautiful.

The attention to detail this restaurant has is unmatched. Was greeted with complimentary soup and each table was purposely separated by a translucent curtain. Food was fantastic, and great portions for an upscale meal. Must visit if you want an intimate, romantic dining

Penumbra was an amazing experience. From the atmosphere: table for two under candle light with a private feeling with the sheer curtains. The food was delicious, they gave a delicious poblano soup to start and all the delicious food options were amazing. The waiter was great. He has very attentive. Will be coming again.

My fiancé and I enjoyed our dinner there. The restaurant seating was spacious, and there were a number of tables that had more intimate seating (table separated with a veil). The appetizers and the main course were delicious and fair priced. We left satisfied.The wait staff was pleasant and courteous. Smooth jazzy music accompanied the meal. Slightly dim lighting set a lounge atmosphere.They had some romantic quotes posted up still from Valentines Day that were pretty good.The restaurant requests cash if possible to save on credit card fees, but they do accept credit cards.

I went for my birthday Feb10th and I had a wonderful time. The food was good, our waiter was funny and very helpful with the menu. The decor is so romantic and the prices were worth it. I will definitely go back. Also, they were very nice to us tho we were the last ones out.
