Ok y'all, I went to Juno and the Peacock. Let me start by saying, I don't care how good the food is, if the service is sub par, that will ruin your entire meal. I am happy to say every person on the staff was wonderful. From bar tenders, to hostess to servers and everyone in between.
Our server, Matthew, was incredible! He knew the menu and wines and provided excellent guidance. He answered all our questions and guided us through the menu and wines expertly.
We started in the bar. I had an old fashion, which was spot on, and a friend had the appletini, which was very tasty.
For appetizers we had Monica's jalapeno cornbread. I thought this was an odd menu choice given the upscale nature of the restaurant, omg, I was wrong! It was one of my favorites of the evening. We also had the lobster escargot, WOW! Amazing.
A friend wanted the pork belly. I am not a fan, but I am now! It was soo good.
For dinner two of us had a 10oz bone in filet and added a lobster tail. I ordered rare plus, just above rare, but below medium. It came out perfectly cooked, as was the lobster tail.
My other friend had the crab crusted grouper. I will be getting this next time, as it was incredible. As a native Floridian, I know grouper, and this was some good grouper.
We also tried the foie gras, it was good as well. I almost forgot the lobster bisque was incredible!
Dessert:
Tres Leches
Whipped Crème Fraîche, Strawberry, Ginger, Coconut Tuile, Candied Pistachios
Caramelized Chocolate Panna Cotta
Chocolate Fudge, Hazelnut Crunch, Brûléed Banana
Needless to say, incredible!
Thank you again Matthew and the entire staff for making our dinner incredible!
