Perfect place to have dinner and a fantastic glass of wine right on the Halifax Harbour. The staff are great and food is excellent

Atmosphere was fine, service above average, food nothing special. Onion ring and calamari starter was large but bland. The addition of speck was odd and didn't add flavour to the dish. The halibut checks were deep fried and served with something resembling a boring tartar sauce. The puttanesca pasta was overly salty and the tagliatelle underwhelming in flavour. Desserts were okay.

A great meal shared with friends. Nice wine selection. Lovely venue at the waterfront. Patio option if weather permits and set back a bit.

We had high hopes for Peacock based on its upscale reputation and ratings, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. The service was noticeably slow, and the overall vibe didn't live up to the fancy image the restaurant seems to project. While the menu pricing suggested a fine dining experience, the food itself was quite average and didn't justify the cost. The ambiance also lacked the sophistication one would expect from a top-tier restaurant. In short, Peacock gives off an elegant energy, but the food, service, and atmosphere didn't align with the expectations set.

This was our third visit to Peacock and all three experiences were excellent. One of our new favourite restaurants in Halifax.

Excellent food, service, wine, and ambience. Staff paid close attention to my food allergy to ensure I had a safe and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend!

The wine tasting we did with Sam was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and explained things really well; I learned so much about Italian wines! It was really fun and laid back and a very welcoming atmosphere to a newbie like myself. We stayed for dinner as well and our server was amazing. I think her name was Alex, and I apologize if I'm wrong, but she was so friendly and lovely and made the experience even better.

Wonderful as always! I love this place and the service they provide. Best wines are there and they provide really good advice for what to get based on your taste

We were supposed to be eight but needed to with 6 people. The staff were very attentive and explained the menu very nicely. They were quick and happy to serve us...that actually means a lot in today's busy world. Wine list at lower end wasn't too plentiful but they did have a great wine list in the higher end wines. Atmosphere was great and alive. The whole waterfront is actually. Food was delicious and cooked expertly. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

A truly elegant space — decadent but still playful. The food was delicious and it was great to see so many local Nova Scotian wines alongside a vast global menu. The cocktails and mocktails were also top-tier. The staff was warm and attentive, great place to continue your wine education journey.
Had the Chefs Fixe menu. Four courses including desert and a small snack. Everything was prepared nicely and very tasty. The desert was a substitute but it was delicious. Just the perfect amount of food and was able to experience the Chefs talents. Will definitely recommend to anyone. Will need to try again when they change the menu.

The food was fantastic, there was 3 of us and we all said the same thing. We had the Prix Fixe menu and what was considered a "small plate" had huge servings. We were stuffed at the end. Our serving staff were excellent - efficient, warm and friendly. Ambience was perfect and we actually had a table in one of the "cages". Absolutely recommend.

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.

The only feedback I would have on the Italian Part 1 wine tasting event is that no white wines were featured. That was not in the description of event so a bit of a disappointment. The description mentioned whites, reds and possible a sparkling. My daughter and I attended and both do not enjoy reds so if we had known, we wouldn't have attended. Just a personal preference. The one snack offered was ok. Staff was great

Loved the atmosphere and decor. Great place to come for a shared plate and glass of wine. I have already highly recommended the Peacock Wine Bar to friends and family!
