Unfortunately, this was our very first experience ...

Unfortunately, this was our very first experience with the peacock inn and I had made reservations for 8:30 earlier that week. We weren't seated until after 9:30 and our only consolation was prosecco... As we don't drink that often, very rarely, in fact, this was not enough to make our night better. In fact, it was my husband's birthday and instead of giving us a dessert for free for his birthday, we received more prosecco. As it was very late and I had to dive I didn't even touch mine. Again, I wish they had done more than offer cheap bubbly to make the night special.

If we hadn't serendipitously run into a wonderful friend, we would have left.

Now the food was absolutely epic. Best gnocchi I ever had, though the kale was a little bitter and I don't think it complimented the beautiful flavor of the gnocchi as well as other greens I know would.

My husband got the bison steak, which is a tough meat, and, personally, for me, wasn't amazing, even rare.

The food came out less than 10 minutes of our ordering, the service once we were seated was undeniably perfect, and the atmosphere was beautiful.

It was a treat to see people really dressing up for a night out and made the atmosphere and evening even more special.

It's a shame about what happened in the very beginning, because, I think, it would have been a perfect night if we didn't have to wait so long.
