Food was excellent. Felt that server was disappointed in his 20% 30 dollar tip. The options were 18, 20,25,and 30%. I feel a 20 percent tip is good. Maybe I’m out of touch. Great place though. Great attention to detail with the food and presentation. And the server was very nice till after paying the bill.

About the restaurant

In Provence, a region in southeastern France, “Lou Pécou” is the term for the peduncle, or stalk, that holds a cluster of fruit. Our grandparents taught us that when in the kitchen, you must start with the freshest and finest of ingredients. They had a unique way of feeling and picking lou pécou, to know if the fruit and vegetable is local, ripe, and fresh. We look forward to passing you these traditions and learnings through our pizzas.

At Lou Pécou, you will find exclusive finely curated dishes with a Provençal touch, a wide range of organic and biodynamic wines, signature cocktails, house-made desserts, and much more!

Always enjoy the Cut although there were alot of small children and kids that made it louder than usual, If you want a quieter more intimate dining experience, probably best to go elsewhere

This was our first time to Peacock Wine Bar and Grill and it was fantastic. The food was so delicious. We had 4 guests all having something different and everyone was pleased with all of the dishes. Their chocolate cake was the best I've had. The staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we look forward to going back.

About the restaurant

Benvenuto and welcome to Pazzo, a new Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Halifax. Inspired by our love affair with Italian cuisine, we’ve beautifully transformed two floors of a Barrington Street heritage building into a cozy bar on the lower level and a gorgeous dining area upstairs. With a focus on fresh handmade pasta, meats and cheeses cured in-house, and wines that flow as freely as laughter around a family dinner table, we invite you to join us on a journey of Italy’s rich food culture and la dolce vita!

Love this restaurant. I had the raw beef tenderloin and the parsley that came with it was an important part of the taste experience. Otherwise if not included in your forkful the meat was slightly underseasoned. I really enjoyed the Italian colado cocktail. The Italian sausage pasta was too salty however. But I LOVE the 25% off bar menu between 4 and 6. And I love the maître de’s attention to his guests. Also the wonderful host who greeted us was lovely. Thank you for a memorable birthday dinner.
