Our History
When, Jamal Haddad decided to start a business in 2001, he imagined something more than an ordinary restaurant.  He wanted to capture the spirit of his childhood kitchen in Lebanon: buzzing with energy, bursting with fresh Mediterranean flavors, and filled with lots of love.

With that mission the seed was planted for what is now Peño Grill.  We are proud to carry on the mission Jamal started and to share his commitment to traditional recipes, served with a smile in a vibrant atmosphere, and filled with love.
