    Lovely spot for a Sunday brunch. Service was excellent and food was very good— French toast was especially delicious. Hoping it will be warmer next time we go and we can eat outside.

    We always love the Peacock Cafe. They always remember us and greet us warmly. The service is warm and so crisp. The vibe is energized and lively, but also friendly and warm. The food is consistently delicious, fresh and flavorful. Our faves are the tomato bisque, tuna tartare, steak salads, and the chocolate fondant dessert. We would eat here ever weekend if we planned well enough!

    Billed as a Valentine's Day Experience on OpenTable, this is very disappointing. We ordered two drinks, and they were pitiful. Both had bottom shelf alcohol. A whiskey sour with one Manhattan ice cube no cherry no orange slice or other garnishment of any kind. Barely half full despite the massive ice cube. Almost no sour mix. Tasted awful, looked awful. My wife's gin and tonic was no better. Bad tasting gin, a little tonic, and lime wedge. Waiter later asked if we wanted another round, I said "No, they were bad"--no response. We never got any bread, despite every other table we could see getting some. We didn't even get any bread with my wife's mussels, which would have been a crime if the broth were better. The water person spilled water on the table as often as not when trying our water glasses. Glassware was extremely basic. My salmon 3 ways appetizer was great especially the roe and salmon tartar with avocado, but wife's mussels appetizer was blah. My lobster risotto was very watery, obviously rushed and well undercooked, very bland, very little taste. Extremely high ratio of risotto to lobster. My wife's beef Wellington was very good. The chocolate dessert for tree was good, lived up to its building on the menu. In short it had been a while since we've been to Peacock Cafe, but it's going to be a good while longer before we return.

    The Peacock Cafe is a true gem - wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful ambiance. What’s not to love! My husband and I were there for the early seating on New Year’s eve. The prix fixe menu had many good choices and was excellent value for the quality. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The ambiance was very cozy and inviting. We were very happy to celebrate our New Year’s eve there!

    Exquisite service and a delicious menu; I highly recommend the pistachio soup and tuna tartare as appetizers. My partner said his steak was perfect and I enjoyed the qaymeh. For dessert we opted for the poached pear and cannoli (which do have a note of citrus-yum!) We also ordered spiked coffees and cocktails; the bar staff goes above and beyond. A wonderful experience and we will certainly be back.
