Peacock Café

The food tastes so good that nothing was left on our plates. We were lucky to have a table for a walk-in. Reservation is highly recommended.

If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.

Outstanding service... Very good food... Excellent "libations"... If you are in the area, this should be on the list for go to spots to dine in Georgetown.

As soon as you enter the Peacock Cafe, you are treated like family. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. In addition to the wonderful service, the food is delicious and reasonably priced. I had a prix fixe meal which included a pistacchio soup, steak frites, and a berries with sorbet for dessert. All were tasty with impressive presentation. Great restaurant for dining while in the Georgetown area.

Perfect spot for breakfast alfresco I just wanted an egg sandwich and got so much more. I'm particular about my morning coffee and discovered my best cup of the day here at the Peacock. Just f7nished a 12 mile bike ride on Sunday morning and was ready to rest and relax outside on the patio .for 9:30 am, they had plenty of room indoors or out. Looking for a great spot for breakfast in Georgetown? The Peacocj Cafe is a good option. A little pricey for me but everything is in DC

My husband and I went here for dinner and it was overall a good experience. The staff were very nice, and we had a few managers check in on us and even bag our leftovers. The food came out very timely too. We took advantage of the 3 course dinner for $52 and had a fun cocktail. The first course and dessert were great, but the entree itself was fine. Nothing really special. But I definitely think the dessert was the most special! It’s really small and very loud so it was hard to hear each other. Over all 3 stars.

A great go-to spot on Georgetown. It’s solid, consistent and appealing service keeps bringing folks back. Food > Soups, pistachio encrusted fish and fettuccine were all light and well executed. Service > Focused on a busy night - and kept things moving along. Space > Comfortable and lively. In short - a solid space that keeps the coming back over the past 20 years.

When the manager greets you by opening the door and welcoming you in it's going to be amazing. Our server was new to Peacock but not a customer service novice. She was amazing and paid attention to the details. My steak and potatoes were both amazing. My medium well ribeye was perfection. The garlic potatoes were seasoned just right. I had the chocolate volcano dessert and I enjoyed it. I appreciated the extra touch celebrating my birthday. A wonderful dining experience.

3'5'2022 Anni Weekend in Georgetown. Hubby surprised me w brunch here. I was genuinely impressed. This place was very pretty on the exterior and interior. Essa was our table person and took great care of us. Collectively, we ordered the following. "Gluten Free" Cinnamon Raisin" French Toast Applewood Smoked Bacon The All American Peacock Iced Coffee Liquor Hot Toddy Each and everything we ordered came out well plated and delicious. I recommend this place to anyone looking for and classy, yum, and quality brunch w impeccable service.

Ooooh my God!!! I'm so in love with their salmon burger!! I came here a few times and, despite the fact that the whole menu looks so good, I've always ordered the same thing because after having it once, I couldn't help wanting more!! So well balanced, delicate, flavorful, and soft in your mouth. And the fries are super thin and crunchy, not oily at all. You just keep eating them without feeling full. Please please please...TRY IT! Staff is kind, fun, professional, careful, and caring. They know what they're doing! I ate both inside and outside, and it was a comfortable and elegant experience both ways. So just pick based on the weather. Enjoy!

The prices do not match up with the quality of the food here AT ALL. We were thoroughly underwhelmed by the poor quality of the food. The pancakes were genuinely inedible with horrible syrup as well. The fries were served cold. I asked for an apple juice and got charged $9.50 for some sort of smoothie concoction that I did not want at all. I will not be dining here again.

The food is amazing! Service is even better. The ambiance is cute but can get a bit packed. This spot is hands down one of my FAVORITE brunch spots. I usually get a dish with arugula / salad but I can't find the photos now... but! I most definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting DC or DMV. My favorite is their quiche

Super attentive, kind and enthusiastic staff members. The hostess made room for us at the bar between couples so we could surpass the three hour wait (we would never wait that long for drinks) but the fact that they asked people to make room was top-notch service. We ordered a glass of red wine ($16) and the monthly special, Old Fashioned Sherry ($15). The Pinot Noir was served at the right temperature--from a wine fridge! Always a good sign! The Old Fashioned Sherry wasn't what I expected, I wish I would have asked for a sugar cube but it did the trick (wink-wink).

Peacock cafe always has such wonderfully curated dishes and the best staff! We tried a few different food items and my favorites were definitely the mushroom risotto and Albaloo chicken. If you're getting dessert you also have to get the bourbon pecan tarte or the roasted pear with ice cream! We came early and it wasn't super busy and then by the end of the night it was packed with big group tables. It's also a great environment because the owner will frequently check in and provide recommendations!

I love peacock cafe and come here every time I'm in Georgetown! Today I got the ahi tuna salad and really enjoyed it. The staff is wonderful - I adore this place.

One of DC's best restaurants. The owners are the nicest people and the service and food are perfect evrytime.

If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm.

I'm giving five stars because of the food being good and our server being super attentive! I came here with a friend and we both have food allergies. My friend actually is very allergic to quite a few things. The server was very patient with us as we explained our allergies, and was very attentive to them. The first that she ordered he actually looked at the ingredients himself and found one of her allergens and told her she couldn't have it. This made us feel a lot better because we knew that he was going to make sure that we both had a safe experience. This is really hard to find! My friend got the risotto and the portion size was pretty big and very delicious. I got the pasta with roast sauce and grilled chicken. The portion size was very good for the price in my opinion. The food came out piping hot to which I love! The roads sauce was very similar to a vodka sauce, very creamy and delicious. The chicken I expected to be dry, but it was actually very juicy and perfectly cooked! The ambience is nice inside. This is a great place to have dinner or brunch or lunch. I would definitely come here again and there are a lot of good options.

Went with my two teenagers, sat at the bar during a busy brunch shift. They have fresh flowers at every table at the bar and in the bathroom - a nice touch that was unexpected. We had attentive service, along with surprisingly delicious food for the price point. The steak that came with the steak and eggs was a nice portion and tender and tasty. The breakfast sandwich and fruit salad were fresh and yummy. We were very pleased and would definitely recommend this local Georgetown spot.

Great service. They accommodated us on a busy Sunday when we miscalculated our reservation time and even gave us a dessert to celebrate our anniversary! The breakfast omelettes are small but are so tasty and well worth the price. I would definitely return to Peacock Cafe if in the Georgetown neighborhood again.

This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant in Georgetown. Very cute, clean crisp white tablecloths and a soft pink hue from the side lighting. Everything we ordered was divine - from the fried calamari and hummus appetizers, to the pistachio crusted mahi/grouper to dessert was tasty and beautifully presented. Impeccable service. Would definitely come back!

pros: -the peacock fries are great! -good amount of gluten-free options -brunch is served late into the afternoon -lots of non-alcoholic beverage options cons: -The bathroom door swings in the wrong direction to be wheelchair accessible so you have to open up the kitchen door to use the restroom. -There was a trash can blocking the accessible entrance in the front so I was escorted through another accessible entrance in the back. accessibility is certainly an afterthought here.

Shopping around the area and ended up at this spot for lunch. It's a solid option, but not necessarily the best I've had. The ambiance is great, really nice staff and quick service, but the food is just kind of lackluster. I could make better pasta at home, but maybe pasta isn't their strong suit.

The food was absolutely amazing! We went in without a reservation but they were able to seat all four of us at the bar and the bartender was very kind and patient as it was our first time there and got our food out quick. My only "complaint" is that the environment was a little noisy and they were super busy while we were there so it almost felt like we were in the way. Otherwise it was a great experience and I would love to eat here again!

Everything at Peacock is amazing. If you're a "foodie ", run don't walk to experience some of the best cuisine in the area! Peacock hands down offers a dining experience like none else. Service is also outstanding! And did I say the food is good! Rank among my top five establishments in DC!!

Best breakfast/lunch spot in Georgetown!!!! I had a spicy Bloody Mary, pancakes and coffee.Staff is super friendly and professional and the vibe is super chill. My place to go from now on

10/10 in Service, Ambiance & Food! Peacock Cafe doesn't disappoint. It was my first time there for brunch, I didn't make a reservation but didn't have to wait too long for a table of 3 & we just LOVE when you're serviced while waiting. We were offered water & other drinks while we waited for our table and that was just ahh chefs kiss. I had a delicious latte, my niece had a fresh pressed juice she adored too. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and apps, we had calamari & hummus. For my main I had the Ultimate Eggs with crab meat, smoked salmon 10/5. Like sooo packed with seafood and just a perfect balance of eggs and seafood. Looking for great customer service & great food, look no further!

My family and a few long-time friends and colleagues joined at Peacock Cafe for a customized dinner party that I hosted for my parents. Shannon Paretzky took great care of me from A to Z. She recommended popular apps and helped me decide in the perfect three course menu to make it special for everyone. I had the filet, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The desert I chose was simple, yet decadent -- berries and whipped cream. The waitstaff was kind and generous and very patient with our larger group. (13 in all) The restaurant itself is smaller so there wasn't a private room. That is not a deterrent, but worth noting because it can get loud inside. I don't get to Georgetown much, but I am thrilled I had the opportunity to dine at Peacock.

My friend and I stopped in here on a rainy afternoon walking around Georgetown. We picked the place that was the most festive for this time of year. This place just makes you smile when you walk in with both their holiday decorations and atmosphere in general. The staff were so friendly starting from the woman who greeted us and offered to take our coats to the bartender who took one of the best photos we were able to get while she was visiting. We only stopped in for a drink. My friend had the Rosewater Coctail complete with a sugar rim and flower petal. I'm not a big fan of rosewater but it was pretty delicious. I had a house wine that hit that spot. Their menu looked fantastic, especially their brunch so I will definitely be returning!

American bistro with a solid menu of classic dishes I came here for brunch with my GF and the staff were very friendly. Our food also came out very quickly We both got lattes, and they were delicious and huge! Major points for that I also got a smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was very tasty as well, but it was just on top of toast rather than an English muffin or biscuit which was disappointing. It came with delicious shoe-string fries however Tasty mints

My friends eat here regularly and this is my fist time. The service is excellent. They are fast and courteous. I love the ambience at the restaurant. Even though it was busy you can still hear the people at our table. We had the Calamari and the Crab cake appetizers. It was so good. The crab cakes are mostly crab and not just filling like other places. I would definitely order that next time. The tomato bisque soup was so good also. In retrospect I could of just eat all the appetizers and the soup. Don't get me wrong, the meals are good but the appetizers were so good I could have had more. Everyone loved their dishes. I had the curry lab sandwich but did not want the yogurt sauce. I lave the mix of curry flavor and the lamb. So good

We really enjoyed the brunch here! The All American breakfast was really delicious. The brunch Bellini was also great. The service was 5 stars!

This cafe is a great brunch spot! We sat outside on the patio in a great people watching spot. The tables come with umbrellas or under the building so you won't get burned in the summer. The food was delicious. We spit an order of the shoestring fries that were perfectly crispy. I had a steak salad cooked medium rare which I'd highly recommend. The dirty martinis were great as well. The service was fast, efficient and helpful.

Beautiful location inside the Waldorf Astoria hotel. You definitely need reservations. Even with reservations we had to wait over 30 extra minutes for our table. There are not formal dining tables- it's more of a lounge with low tables at some locations; higher tables at others. The food was good; the drinks were overpriced for what you get. Given the long wait, I do think the staff could have offered us a complimentary glass of wine or appetizer while we waited. But one of the hostesses was really working hard to get us seated; the other two seemed to not care about the number of people waiting. Once seated, our waiter was very attentive and gave us good service. Overall, I would be willing to give this place another try.

Quaint cafe with amazing customer service. The entire staff was friendly and attentive. Food was reasonably priced and scrumptious

This is a great location for brunch. I have to say mediocre though. The service is good and nice interior but food options are limited. The omelette was good but not the best. It was not well put together and a little too dry. I would say benedict is a safe but they do not use an english muffin so just make sure you want something a little different. I would come back for the location and its a nice spot but would not say the food is the best!

This is a great spot in Georgetown for dinner or brunch. I enjoyed the meal I had here. The rose wine was refreshing. The NY strip steak had good flavors and I liked the way the fries were cooked. The Bronzino was also done well and it came with sautéed spinach, mushrooms and potatoes. They had indoor and outdoor seating available. The service was good and I also liked the ambiance.

Such a pleasant day to enjoy the breeZe and sunshine while dining at Peacock cafe. There are tables outside with umbrellas, so don't worry about getting burnt aaaaanddd you always have the option of sitting inside at a table or the bar. Just two steps to get to the front door-- truly I hope they put in a rail so people can safely getting up and down those steps-- sorry, the healthcare professional in me! Our food was splendid-- from drinks to dessert. The service is always wonderful and they are always happy to accommodate your needs. We had to live it up. A good friend of mine is off to college-- need to give her a proper send off-- this was a perfect spot.

Food was really tasty, in came extremely fast. However, it's pricey. Wouldn't go here every day because of price point but it's a nice place to take someone to breakfast for a meeting or to impress. For reference: 1 omelette + coffee ran me $30 with tip included. Totally worth it.

Food was 3/5. Very basic. I think this restaurant is a comfort to many and that's why it's so popular. No frills, and nothing to write home about.

we had a fun, delicious lunch for 11 people celebrating a graduation. Peacock Cafe kept the drinks flowing, service was excellent throughout. The menu has so many options. It's really hard to decide! Everyone enjoyed their meals, from the curry lamb burger to the seafood jambalaya and salmon cake salad. The rosewater cocktail is a must try. Thank you Peacock Cafe!

First thing I want to thank Our Best Chef MAZIAR for his Attention and patience to my allergies I mean im definitely coming back with my eyes closed and also the family loved your special JAMBALAYA omg you guys cooked the rice better than my mom lol he also brought the whole family team wishing my mother a happy birthday you guys put smiles in our faces

I have been here a few times. The staff are always very kind and the food is great. I typically get the "Burger Burger" which is one of the best burgers that I have had in DC.   Peacock Cafe is located about a block up from the intersection of Wisconsin Ave and M Street in Georgetown. This makes it very convenient to stop by if you're spending the day in Georgetown.   If you are in the area and looking for a nice casual place to grab lunch, I highly recommend going to Peacock Cafe.

Food. Amazing! Service. Excellent. I went for a retirement party and the staff was extremely attentive. They tried feeding me every turn and never let my glass go empty. Ambiance. Setting the bar for a classy yet relaxed outing. Will definitely be going again.

Stumbled across this humble DC classic one random Sunday for brunch about a year ago. Given that I'm a medical student I felt compelled to order the item that called to my profession: doctor's ultimate eggs. It's an open faced omelette made with egg whites and tomatoes topped with plenty of jumbo crab meat and some smoked salmon. Glad I got it because it was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed the unique combination and the delicious flavors. I've returned a couple more times just for this dish.

We ended up at this spot in Georgetown while we were searching for a Sunday brunch spot. We happened to hit Georgetown at literally the worst time to find brunch. Immediately after the DC marathon and prime time brunch time. We came across this spot that was a little off the beaten path, meaning it wasn't overly crowded, and decided to give it a try! My friends both ordered breakfast plates and thought they were good but nothing overly special. I had the same thoughts about my omelet, definitely good but nothing out of this world. What really made this place stand out was the service! The entire staff was so friendly and attentive, I would come back here just for that! Over all, I would definitely recommend this place. Good food, if nothing too fancy, but amazing service and atmosphere!

Very stylish space off the busy-ness of M Street. We were in a bit of a rush to get some dinner before heading over to Kennedy Center for a show and our waiter and the maitre d' made sure we were taken care of. We immediately regretted having to hurry through as the food was wonderful and the vibe was classy without being snobby. My crab cakes and veggies were cooked to perfection as was my companion's baked ravioli. Looking forward to a return visit when I can enjoy an appetizer and dessert.

My family came for brunch on a Sunday morning. I had a Vitamin C juice that was incredible and just what my allergies needed! The French toast came with strawberries that weren't too syrupy and added a great flavor.

I went to the peacock cafe for brunch on a Saturday with my bf and we had an amazing time. We got the tomato soup, prosciutto sandwich, and nachos. Everything was a fair price for the portion and it all tasted so good. The service was quick and everyone was polite. The only thing that was odd was the music/lights. It felt almost like a cafe that someone was DJing at which was a bit weird, but I would definitely still go back for the food.

I'm glad I tried Peacock Cafe but never feel a want or need to go back. My friend and I went for a late Saturday night dinner and were able to get seats immediately. As it was a warm evening, we were able and chose to sit outside. This was fortunate for us, as it was loud enough inside where it was hard to have a conversation. The internal decor was nice, with tasteful low lighting and a good wood and glass mixture. Our service was fine, nothing exceptional or terrible. Peacock Cafe started by giving us free bread and butter, which was quite good. The bread had a chewy interior and a nice crust and the butter was easily spreadable and rich. My friend and I split two appetizers, the nachos and the tuna tartare. The nachos were a somewhat elevated form of bar nachos, and we appreciated the vegetarian chili. Overall, a well-composed dish, although nothing unique other than the chili and overpriced for the ingredients and dish size. The wasabi on the tuna tartare provided a unique spicy element to the tuna without overwhelming it and the marinated cucumber added a crunch and mildly salty component. My friend ordered the salmon cake salad and I ordered the qaymeh. I tried some of my friend's salad, and while the fish was properly cooked, there was no particularly notable flavor and the salad needed more quinoa. The qaymeh was disappointing and a textbook example of a restaurant trying to do too much with its menu. Peacock Cafe is contemporary American and qaymeh is a Persian dish, not related to any other dish on the menu and it showed. Other than a few tasty pickled vegetables on the side, there was not much good about the dish. The lentils were not well-cooked to the point of being crunchy, there was an improper rice-to-dish ratio (way too much rice), and there were maybe three very small lamb pieces. Especially for the portion size and food quality, at $25 the qaymeh was way overpriced. If you're looking for fine or affordable dining (especially American), I would check out other places, even on that street.

I am genuinely addicted to their Chicken Rigatoni. Best sauce I've ever had, and the pasta is so amazing. I don't know what they do, but it's so consistently delicious. And the woman next to me at the bar had a lobster salad, which looked beautiful. Love the ambiance here. It feels like a place you can see and been seen, but it's also welcoming and not stuffy. Show up in a suit and sit st a white tableclothed table, or come in a tshirt and get a seat at the bar where it seems like there's magically always space. Service is impeccable, and Hussein is such a gem of a person. Love his stories about Morocco, and would love to visit it!!

I would say I really enjoyed the service. The waiters we constantly checking in and seeing if I need anything. The food was pretty good just small portions.

I went to Peacock Cafe for dinner and ordered the Seafood Jambalaya, which had mussels, shrimp, cod, salmon, and saffron basmati rice. It was a bit disappointing- not particularly flavorful (especially the rice which was rather bland) and the only real flavor was just a pepper flavor on the shrimp. Also, there were just a couple small pieces of cod and salmon in the dish. For $26, I'm not sure if it was worth it. For dessert, I got the White and Dark Chocolate Mousse. The white chocolate part on top honestly just tasted like melted ice cream, but the dark chocolate bottom portion was thicker and more tasty. Yet once again, I don't think it was really worth the cost ($7.50), since it came in a thin glass with not much volume. The restaurant itself has a classy feel and the staff were friendly. The service speed was decent. There are both tables inside and outside. Overall, Peacock Cafe has decent food, but is probably not worth the price tag. If you don't mind spending a little more than you should, then it could still be a potential option for you.

Delicious salmon cake burger, and gluten free bread options! Would definitely recommend this place.

I came in for dessert but will definitely come back for dinner. All of the food looked amazing, and the cookies and ice cream was so delicious. We sat at the bar which was full and the bartender was so sweet. This place is great for groups and dates and nice modern cafe vibe insidee

the service was very attentive and the location/environment is cute. i ordered steak and eggs, my steak was overdone but i'd prefer that to underdone and it was pretty tasty so all good. portions were a good size- not way too big or too small. i'd recommend!
