Had dinner and drinks at The Peacock Room recently with a group of friends, and it exceeded expectations from start to finish. The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic, inviting, and perfect for a night out. The food was just as impressive. We shared the cheese board to start, which was a great choice, and every entree at the table was outstanding. The shrimp and grits were packed with flavor, the braised short ribs were incredibly tender, and the smash burger was great. The service was attentive, the cocktails were excellent, and the overall experience was top notch. Hands down, The Peacock Room is a hidden gem. If you're looking for a great spot for dinner, drinks, and a memorable evening, this place deserves a spot at the top of your list. read more

The cocktails were great and the service was superb. The waitress gave a lot of great recommendations and was very patient with us. She came back to check on us frequently, but wasn't hovering. The interior is very cozy and elegant and there's lots of decorations around to look at. read more

We stayed at the Kimpton and got a voucher for 2 free cocktails to redeem here, which is a nice surprise. This review is written with the angle of original price of the cocktails for fair evaluation. We went around 10pm on a Saturday, about an hour before they close, and almost every table is occupied. This is a pretty colorful place, which makes sense because it is called the Peacock room after all. We got the Emperor and Chariot. Emperor is more like an old fashioned drink, and the Chariot is more tiki and fun. I liked the Chariot a lot more as the cocktail is well balanced. Compared to where I live, the cocktail prices are really good, but compared to New Orleans bars, it is on the pricier side ($16-19) but definitely matches the quality and execution. Service is excellent as the server checked up on us periodically and refilled our waters. Overall, definitely must visit especially if you are already staying at the hotel! read more

I had a hotel credit I could use on this restaurant, so I popped into the Peacock Room for a solo early dinner. The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price. I think this is a fine place if you're looking for a photogenic night out drinking with a group of friends. Could be really cute for brunch! read more

Good vibes abound in the Peacock Room, as it seemed to be the place to be. My colleague picked our cocktail and dining destination on a whim, as it was convenient to our hotel. The random choice was a hit. While my pic was limited to my cocktail (Old Fashioned), I also had the Peacock Smash Burger that came w fries. Quite tasty, although heavy on the salt. We had the Curry Cashews as a snack prior. The bar area was professionally handled by Joshua. He also briefed us on local knowledge for future visits. read more

The Peacock Room brunch was phenomenal! The decor is amazing and the environment is so fun and lively. Hector was fantastic and took such great care of our large group with patience and attentiveness. The food was delicious across the board. We ordered the brunch tower and loved it. It's a lot of food, so it's perfect for sharing. You might add a salad, but you really don't need more than one shared dish for the table. They also have espresso martini towers, which are definitely on my list to try next time. I absolutely love the vibes here--it's such a fun place to brunch and take some cute photos! read more

This is a beautiful place to have a cocktail and chill out. They have live music some nights and that makes it especially nice for a date night. Due to the holidays they have a Holiday Cocktail Menu you can choose from. I got the Blackberry Magpie and Truffle Fries and it was indeed delicious. They were restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating during my visit. I would certainly recommend this place. It is Beautiful! read more

Located in the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot, it is actually a nice restaurant that has a lot of charm. Located away from the nose and bustle of Bourbon Street, we had a peaceful dinner that is not fried or wholly unhealthy (i.e. greasy). The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not a guest of the hotel. read more

We had reservations for Mother's Day. We arrived and were greeted by the hostess. She was friendly and inviting. The Mothers were told that we could make our own bouquets of flowers. Nice touch! We were seated right away. The place is beautiful. I love the decor. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The Peacock Brunch Tower was simply delicious. The caviar and potato cakes were my favorite. I also tried the crispy Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. They were seasoned and cooked perfectly. For my entree, I ordered the crispy shrimp and grits. The grits were creamy and pretty tasty. I felt though that the dish needed that New Orleans kick. That's what I was missing. read more

Beautiful bar inside the Kimpton Hotel with sumptuous velvet lounge chairs and couches. The daily happy hour is from 4-6pm.

The Peacock room a is a lovely space. We visited for dinner and probably should have just gone for drinks. The drinks were lovely, the service was good. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food however was problematic. We started with the focaccia which was toasted with melted butter but also had a side of butter, never thought I would say too much better but it was. The curry cashews however were nice. We ordered the blue crab bucatini, there was no crab to be found and the seasoning was non existent. It sounded promising but even adding salt could not fix the dish. The next dish that fell flat was the spicy shrimp, the shrimp was over cooked, dry and stale. The burger was delicious and the parmesan fries were good. If you want ambience and tasty drinks I would say definitely visit, I am not sure about the food, maybe it was a bad day. read more

This is such a beautifully decorated restaurant in the Kimpton hotel. It's hot a very lavish yet laid back atmosphere with wonderful booths, chandeliers and decor. My husband and I got a couple cocotails-hurricane and el pavo real. Both tasted good but were a bit on the smaller side. For dinner, we ordered a goat cheese fondue (it was not really a fondue-jyst whipped goat cheese w jam n Pistachios on top) which was served with warm pita to start. Entrees were the NOLA hot chicken sandwich (hubs said it tasted amazing) and the smoked tomato linguine pasta (only veg option for me). Everything was as expected. Service was friendly and to the point. Total came to about $110 read more

The aesthetic of the restaurant is beautiful and so fun! Very unique and creative. The food was delicious. The truffle fries are a must. Everyone was very happy with their dishes!

Such a cute brunch spot! Highly recommend! read more

From a purely aesthetics point of view, Peacock Room is perfection with its namesake vivid dark blue walls and velvet settees, gold and copper accents, gilded cages and fringed lamps. I just want to curl up with some bubbles and a book and never leave. I probably couldn't afford to do that, though. Prices here are comparable to those in New York City, with a 15-24 dollar price range for most wines and cocktails. And I might be a little hungry because it appears that hummus and vegetables might be the only vegan option. That said, oh, the sumptuous surroundings beckon and I'll be back. read more

Im finally writing a review for the Peacock Room! I've been here 4 times now and have enjoyed myself each time whether it be dinner, drinks, or brunch. I really like the interior design of the restaurant as well as the creativity with their cocktails. The service has always been good, Moon in particular is an excellent waitress! They serve quite fast and are very attentive. I think they have a good and consistent smash burger. Their cara mía holiday cocktail is divine! Love their truffle fries, brussels sprouts are also very good and crispy. We also enjoyed the short rib- great flavor and it was very tender over the mashed potatoes! A friend had the tuna and said it was very good and she would recommend it. A couple people were not a fan of the shrimp & grits- I didn't try it so I can't comment, but they were not up to par with the seasoning. They also allow you to split the check for large groups (8+) which is a huge pro. Overall, I will definitely continue recommending peacock room, particularly for apps & drinks or brunch. Awesome vibe. read more

Ive been here for brunch twice with a decent sized group and the service was great both times. The room Peacock Room has a great esthetic and very instagram-able. The food is decent but pricey and not very memorable if im being honest. If im invited here I wouldn't turn down the invitation but its not on the top of my list. One caveat is I've only tried brunch here so Im willing to give dinner a try. We had the deviled egg and it was just OK. I did enjoy the crispy shrimp appetizer. The hot chicken sandwich was also OK but nothing wow-ing. I'm a foodie so maybe Im hard to please because while none of the food was bad, nothing has me saying I've got to get back here! read more

Tried the Peacock Room so we could try the Christmas drinks. The Peacock Room is beautiful and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. We started with the gumbo which was different from the usual gumbo we have but so delicious. It was on the spicy side though which my husband loved. For an entree we had the Chorizo gravy & buttermilk biscuits which was a 10 out of 10. Even my husband who usually doesn't sushi over food said that it was fantastic. The chocolate bread pudding was light,flaky, warm and amazing. We had 2 of the Christmas drinks, Deck the Halls and the Glitter End. Both were festive and delicious. My only complaint was that the keepsake ornament it came in didn't say the Peacock Room but Grey Goose which isn't even in the drink. Our server Hector was friendly, attentive and helpful. He even gave me a coaster and a commemorative cup to take because of my disappoint with the ornament. I would definitely go back. read more

The Peacock Room is a lovely cocktail bar & upscale restaurant within the lobby of the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot right in the heart of downtown. I have now been twice, and have really enjoyed my experience both times! Our party of 8 went for a friend's birthday on a Friday night. When we arrived at our reservation time, the hostess told us the previous party at our table was taking longer than usual. She offered us two bottles of prosecco which we enjoyed in the lobby while we waited, which was immensely kind and very enjoyable! We were seated 15-20 minutes later. I ordered the Blackberry Magpie cocktail, Baby Kale Caesar Salad, and Focaccia bread for the side. My meal was great, they definitely use a good amount of anchovies in both their salad and the butter for the bread, but I didn't mind! The service was great and the restaurant is very beautiful. My only note was that it was $$$ for a limited menu, and not out of this world food and drink. My salad-with-no protein, side of bread, & cocktail was $50 including tip. For this restaurant in particular, it feels like you are more paying for the vibe than the food quality. That being said, it was truly a great experience, and I will come back for that vibe when it is wanted! They even gave the birthday girl a complimentary glass of champagne Looking forward to coming back! read more

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. This place was delicious with such a cute scenery I loved everything about it. Because it was so cute I was honestly not expecting the food to be as good, but I was blown away by both the shrimp and grits and the goat cheese fondue. The Shrimp & Grits came with brussel sprouts, definitely not your average shrimp and grits, it's shrimp and grits taken to another level and I loved it. The goat cheese fondue comes with an onion jam, which complemented the tanginess of the goat cheese perfectly. The whole dish was so well balanced and the bread was to die for. Highly recommend this place! Loved everything about it. The service wasn't the best, but it was our waitress' first day, so I'm not going to rate them based off of that. read more

This was another spot on my list after doing my NOLA research -- super glad we were able to stop in for a drink! They were pretty busy and we had to wait a hot minute for a spot, but they squeezed us in and we enjoyed one very delicious drink before they closed for the night. Very bougie and fun vibe here -- it was absolutely gorgeous in this spot and right up my alley. My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal Reposado Espresso Martini, my hubby had a glass of Prosecco and my friend's hubby had a classic domestic beer. There's literally something for everyone here and they're happy to serve it. It was a little pricy - as expected - but worth it. I'd recommend popping in for a treat and enjoying the immaculate vibes this place has to offer. Cheers! read more

What a surprise to find this little gem in the lobby of a hotel. A girlfriend and I broke off from a larger herd of folks to find somewhere quiet to eat. The Peacock Room is intimate yet not so small where you feel like you're sitting in someone's living room. The food is good. 4+ stars catch-a-decent meal, so I rounded it to 5. We had hummus, brussel sprouts (we couldn't finish them, nor could the lady next to us who also ordered them), and Salt pepper vinegar shrimp (very good)! The brunch photos look amazing. And we didn't have any dessert, so that's worth a second look next time I'm in town. The waitress was a little kooky, but charming. It added to the fun of the whole evening. read more
