The food is great, creative and interesting. The service is confused / confusing . Would’ve expected some warmth, a smile but was very dry, impersonal and task oriented. Had written in the reservation request that it was my husband’s 40th - no mention of it, no gesture… Decor is modern and restaurant noise level high.

Great food excellent service. A great variety of wines - although a bit more on the overpriced end - you will still be able to find a good one. I ordered the scallops; they were amazing!!

Good evening, Thank you for your feedback. There are currently 14 protein based dishes on our menu, and while we don't feel any of our dishes are extremely small, we have shareables, small, and large menu options clearly outlined on our menu. If you feel your meal was too oily, we will happily assist in making this right on your next visit if you let us know.

A delight for the senses- fab wine selection, luxe interior, polenta fries and marinated cucumbers were smashing. However the cavatelli pasta was overly acidic and needed more mascarpone to balance it.

Food was great. Only issue was that the Burrata dish did not come with any bread or crackers for $30 and that you have to buy additional bread at $9. The burrata should come with something for that price. Looks like trying to drive the bill price up intentional on customers. Not a good look.

This would be a great spot for a drink - but not so much a meal. Our server was exquisite and was very kind and professional - and she even brought out a little treat as we were celebrating birthdays- the olive oil cake was delightful! The food was not that remarkable, which I did expect for the cost. Also - send some toast points or crackers etc for the tartare - strange to see it served without a vehicle of its own.

Went there with my family and two friends. We were seated in a nice booth but so close to the other table it made it uncomfortable to sit. There were other seats available so not sure why they had put us so close. The large portion of pasta was not very large-my girls had an appetizer then pasta and were still hungry. Loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent.

Lots of hype around this spot, so was anxious to try. The lighting and ambience is dark and hip, which is cool, until you're trying to read a lengthy menu in tiny font. Our server was very nice, and attentive, but did not really speak to or help clarify choices of wines on the list. Some guidance, or choices of wine profiles, would be great from a place billing itself as a wine bar. Open Table insisted that I rate the food, but it's important to note that we didn't eat anything. Food that went to adjacent tables looked beautifully plated, but I can't speak to taste.

We sat outside and enjoyed the perfect weather and nice boardwalk view. So we didn’t get to experience the vibe inside which seemed animated which would be fun too. Our server was great. Knowledgeable and personable and easy to talk to. We interacted all night with her. She was helpful, never pushed but was a helpful guide to the menu. We ordered the steak tartar, burrata with focaccia bread, and tuna crudo (after the server and hostess gave us a free order from a kitchen mistake). All were excellent, delicious, and well presented. Fresh and quality ingredients. Really lovely all around. Unfortunately we were full after that so couldn’t try the main dishes which was disappointing (no fault of the restaurant!). We enjoyed our wine. Good glass selections. The prices were high as is to be expected for the location. But that said we had a great evening and would come back to try the other food and wine. Really enjoyed this restaurant. It’s the kind of place you can go for a quick drink, small bites, or a whole evening and coursed dinner out - whatever suits your hopes and purposes.

Nice evening overall . We decided to try Peacock as a change to our usual spot Obladee. Restaurant was almost empty due to other events in the area but it was still quite loud. Food was just so-so. Service was okay- we sat at the bar and the waitress would loudly interrupt us when we were clearly mid conversation.
