The experience was hit or miss. Door and being seated were seamless and very well executed. The waiter was polite and professional. The misses: waiter either new or over worked. Not very attentive. When he did engage he was very good. Some of the items we ordered did not make it to the table until after and lengthy wait and our asking about them. Finally the food. Some items were very good. But the main items (lamb kabobs, and tenderloin kabobs) were unremarkable. The lamb tasted and had the texture of food that had spent too long under a warming light as it waited to be brought to the table. We went on a Wednesday evening. It was packed. Perhaps they are not used to that number of clients on a Wednesday and were short staffed. The elements to be a wonderful restaurant and experience appear to be in place and on a different day it might be. read more

Added falafel to their basic salad. Every bite well done. Cocktail was not impressive. Only complaint is for the pricing service was just okay and tables are packed together. read more

Great evening at the Peacock -- the aesthetic atmosphere, Mediterranean details, and delicious mezze did it for me! Located inside the gorgeous Proper hotel, this was a perfect date night spot and service was great. The manti beef dumplings and beef short rib hummus are both a MUST. Dumplings are full of flavor and melt in your mouth. Hummus was smooth and creamy and made to perfection as was the pita. I'm craving the dumplings and hummus again as I'm typing this. For our main, we ordered the spicy lamb kefta. It was slightly tough and while still flavorful, it was clear the mezze was the star of the show! For our side, we got the potato and herb latkes with a dollop of labneh on top and these were tasty as well. The Bonfire on the Beach cocktail was a delicious mezcal concoction with charred grapefruit and za'atar on the rim. But was it worth $20? I wouldn't say so. For dessert I got a piece of baklava and although it was a one-bite dessert, it was delectable. The nuts, cardamom syrup, flakey pastry -- amazing and worth the $4 bite. Overall, I loved this spot and would return on occasion as it is overpriced -- or perhaps come back just for the dips & mezze! The patio looked just as aesthetic as the inside and I'd love to come back in warmer weather. read more

We were in austin for a bachelorette party and this place did not disappoint! The restaurant was aesthetically pleasing and the food was amazing. We ordered a chicken kebab plate and short rib hummus and they were both delicious. We've never had short rib hummus before and was pleasantly shocked that the two combination went really well. The short rib was so tender and just melted in your mouth. The chicken kebab plate was bigger than expected and was perfectly grilled! We enjoyed our time and had a lot of room despite how popular the restaurant was. We also asked to move tables to get a better view and they were kind enough to do so! Will be back next time we're in Austin. read more

I love that Austin has had quite a few Mediterranean restaurants open in the last few years. The Peacock is located in the Austin Proper Hotel and I envy the guests for being able to enjoy this amazing restaurant. I have been twice and both experiences were wonderful. In particular I enjoyed the hummus, the cocktails and the lamb. Our waiter was fantastic and was able to provide excellent advice on food selection. I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Our group of four had a reservation on a busy Thursday night. We began with the crispy shallot hummus, a delicious start, especially with the warm pita bread. For dinner, we tried the chicken thigh kebab, lamb kefta kebab, and chicken Tajine. The chicken thigh kebab was the clear winner, while the other dishes were decent. The true star of the night, however, was the warm sticky toffee date pudding - absolutely divine! read more

I have eaten here two times in the last week and both experiences were very pleasant. The staff is great, very eager to please. We had the crispy shallot hummus, manti dumplings, grilled octopus and beef tenderloin and shrimp kebab served family style. These dishes must be the greatest hits as both times it was recommended to us by our server. The food is delicious! I kinda regret not trying something else but I always go off the server's recos. The patio has a great space with a nice breeze that comes through. However there are small round tables and I think they would be better off replacing with a rectangular table that would be more comfortable and fit all the food. I look forward to returning for brunch some time. read more

Overpriced and Underwhelming The staff at Peacock Restaurant was nice, and our waitress was very friendly, but this review isn't about them--it's about the ridiculous practices of restaurant owners trying to squeeze every penny out of customers. $8 for a so-called "NYC" bagel? First, this bagel was nowhere near a real New York bagel--maybe from Kansas or something. If you're going to charge eight bucks for a bagel and slap "NYC" on the menu, at least make it taste decent instead of like a bargain-bin piece of bread. Breakfast for two--a simple order of eggs, coffee, a bagel, and shakshuka--costs over $100. That's absurd. And to top it off, they added a wellness surcharge to the bill. Let's be clear: the cost of doing business is the owner's responsibility, not the customer's. Stop hiding these costs in sneaky fees and inflated menu prices. Again, this isn't about the service, which was great; it's about feeling exploited by yet another restaurant with sky-high prices and extra fees. Please save your money and go somewhere that respects its customers. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside with a girlfriend. We loved the outdoor area but of course it got hot pretty quickly in the summer heat. The service was a bit slow and either too attentive or not attentive enough. When we were ready to check out, we went inside as it was so hot and it took a good 15 mins for someone to take our payment. Not sure if the waitress didn't notice we were gone or what. The Mezze plate was good but $22 for a scoop of hummus, babbaganoush, a piece of pita bread and smoked salmon seems like a bit over priced to me. Hotel prices, I guess. The waitress did bring water for a friend and his dog who stopped by for a moment which was very thoughtful. The indoor space is very well decorated and comfortable. On Friday night, I've heard it gets quite busy with young professionals. read more

Food was good, service was shit. Waited 10 minutes for a server to come by and when they did they asked "are yall ready?" We're not from Austin, why not tell us what you recommend or ask us if we've been here before. We ordered the Hawaii Chile Hummus. It was actually so yummy!!! Didn't get to order anything else bc he never recommended ANYTHING or asked if we would be getting meals. I guess we didn't look fancy enough to belong there. It was pretty frustrating and I wasn't about to beg for help in order to spend my money at a restaurant that obviously didn't want us there, so we left. Do better next time read more

To me, I think this is the best Mediterranean food in the city. I put it over ABA. This place is FANTASTIC. The ambiance is incredible. Beautiful no matter where you sit. But try to come on a cool night and sit outside. GET THE APPETIZERS. Every time I come, I stick to the appetizers. Best if you are on a date and you two split them. Get 4 or 5 of the appetizers and that's your meal. They are all 10 out of 10. read more

Always a solid meal at The Peacock! The manti dumplings are delicious morsels with just the right amount and combination of sauces. The short rib hummus in my opinion is much better than Aba. read more

Max was an incredible server! Lunch was delicious. We recommend the octopus and the saganaki.

We live walking distance from The Peacock. We had some friends who were visiting from out of town so we decided to take them here since we walk by it all the time and it always looks so pretty from the outside. We were disappointed to learn that this place does not offer happy hour. We sat for dinner and ordered a bunch of different items on the menu. Definitely recommend doing family style here so that you can try a bunch of different dishes and share since everything is pretty expensive but small portions. We ordered: - Beef Short Rib Shwarma Hummus - Gulf Snapper Crudo - Wood Fire Grilled Octopus - Atlantic Salmon - Aleppo & Garlic Gulf Shrimp - Saffron Rice - Couscous - Asparagus Everything was pretty great overall! Service was attentive and made great suggestions for us based on the number of people we had and portion sizes. We had to order a lot since the portions were so small and we finished still feeling slightly hungry despite the amount of money we spent. Drinks were also okay, mostly for the aesthetic. Giving this place 4 stars because I liked it, but didn't love it and wasn't changed by it. Ambience is definitely super nice, it's a pretty cute place but I'd visit other spots before returning here since it's so pricey. read more

An "it" spot for an Austinite. If you're contemplating Mediterranean food with your friends or coworkers, this spot is the place. Very beautifully elegant on the inside with attentive waitstaff. The kebabs are a good portion with a beautiful char on the shrimp, but the item to die for is the octopus. Eaten like a steak, but wonderfully tender to the point where I had to write a review despite first trying it over a month ago. If there's anything to make sure to get, it's that. Although some people might not be dazzled by chicken, their yogurt marinated chicken thigh also pulls through as a great choice. Price sits anywhere around $50+ a person with an entree and smaller plate (choosing from tajine and mezze sections). Although the outside is open to the street, it's secluded enough to feel secure. However, the heat of Texas will probably warrant indoor reservations for most of the year. read more

The food here is phenomenal, especially the cheese saganaki. The servers were very inviting and knowledgeable. The ambiance was also beautiful. The best restaurants in Austin happen to be connected to hotels. read more

Food was great! Decent size portions, but if you're hungry definitely get some starters. Dumplings were the best dish we had this night! Red pepper chicken & salmon were also hits. We sat outside at a table pretty tiny, so was a bit uncomfortable. Not the most ideal for our anniversary, but our server made it special. read more

the stay was great , we had an issue on the third morning with the poached eggs and toast for breakfast, the eggs were hard instead of soft they took them away and I had to say please bring back a fresh plate with toast , the eggs then arrived on their own and I said I want them served with the toas , they were then served on a side dish at which point I went to the chef and asked for a large plate . Erica cam over she apologised and really looked after us not charging for breakfast, every interaction with her thereafter was excellent, this morning Mark came over to introduce himself and apologise for yesterday. They recovered the situation and we leave very happy and impressed. read more

We had high expectations for our meal at the Peacock, but they weren't fully met. We ordered the muhammara, which we've enjoyed at other places and also made at home. The muhammara here was creamy in texture, more like hummus, and the favor was muted. The mezze plate was all right as well, but didn't hit the spot; the flavors could have been richer. Bread was served warm, which was nice; service was good but a little slow when we visited, late afternoon. Overall it was good but didn't make it to great, particularly for this price point. read more

Excellent dinner spot. Everything was on point from service, ambiance, and food. Tried a few different things, but what stood out to me was the octopus-- just incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. I was also highly impressed with the wine selection, and the Somme (I believe his name was Ainsley or Ames? Something with an A) was SO AWESOME and had great recs. I would love to come back and sit on the beautiful wrap around patio when the weather cools down. Overall, an absolute Austin MUST! Just get ready to spend some money, as the experience comes with a higher price tag (but worth it!) read more

The place is trendy and a comes across as upscale. We went for lunch during the week after seeing all the reviews. I was disappointed as we were looking for Mediterranean and this came up. Their menu had a limited selection of food. We were able to find hummus, by no gyros, Greek salad, or shawarma. The chicken wrap I selected was delicious but not worth the price. I'm sure the $37 plates would be filling. I just wish there's been more selections that were under $20 for lunch options. Despite the tasty food and adequate service (waiter came to check on us 1x after ordering), I wouldn't come back when there are so many other better places in Austin to choose from. read more

I have no words..but actually I do. This was an EXPERIENCE sprinkled with magical golden dust and good vibes all around. Truly feels like you are in another country when you sit down and eat here as the sun sets. The music, the servers, the all hands on deck approach, the attentiveness and professionalism--it all matters and adds to your meal. Let's just say, I didn't look like I belonged here but wow, I wasn't treated that way! It is pricey but 1,000% worth every penny because the quality is INSANE. You can tell each dish is made with so much love and intention. Your mouth with be in heaven with the explosiveness of flavors. I have eaten at many Mediterranean cuisines but this is hands down the best food I've ever had. The quality of the food is so top notch that it doesn't leave you feeling sluggish or over fed but perfectly nourished. You can't go wrong with whatever is on the menu. We went with one of the ginger infused mock tails, lamb chops, braised beef hummus, roasted carrots, dumplings, crème brûlée, baklava, pudding--ohhhhhh and the fresh pitaaaaa.. woooo it was all perfect sharing together with my friend! Thank you for the best night ever from this mama of five who rarely gets a hot meal to herself. I'll be back again one day! read more

I have a severe dairy allergy and got the Peacock Brunch Burger. The fries were very good, but unfortunately, the burger gave me an allergic reaction. There was a questionable sauce and potato pancake on the burger, but the waitress assured me it was completely dairy free. If you have severe allergies to a very common ingredient, I would recommend brunch somewhere else. Our waitress was also a bit rude- we had a large group of people and every one of us thought she had a bit of an attitude. Everyone else in my group seemed to like their meals. read more

stopped here for lunch while visiting Austin since they had some good veggie options. the hummus was probably one of the best I've had and the curry had great flavor. the only thing I would mention is our server had asked if we wanted more pita, but then never brought it out. we had to follow up a couple times and ended up waiting 20 mins for it, so that was disappointing. otherwise, it was solid and in a cute hotel with vibey decor. read more

Very chic, great Mediterranean restaurant located in Proper Hotel, Austin. Warm nice ambiance , our server Tyler very helpful. We ordered Greek salad& hummus with crispy shallots & beef dumplings as starter. the salad is amazingly tasty with lots of feta cheese. Dumplings spicy very tasty& delicious. We also ordered chicken &beef kabob with side of honey glazed carrots. Beef Kabob was fantastic, the carrots was a bit over cooked or grilled , kind of hard to chew, chicken would say just ok. For Dessert we ordered toffee dates pudding with vanilla ice cream , as our server suggested,excellent the dates doesn't over power taste the pudding very soft & pleasant taste to have a dessert after a lots of food.

What seems to be a staple in Austin. Prior to my weekday trip, every single one of my friends recommended I check out The Peacock. I can see why. Located inside the Austin Proper Hotel, the atmosphere is the definition of modern Texan chic. There is artistry in the interior decor at every glance. I'm here for it! The Peacock offers breakfast until 11am and an all day menu of modern Mediterranean after that. Service has been consistently friendly. I've tried both the green and golden juice and both are delicious with added obvious health benefits. I also really liked the lamb meatballs, which had a perfect kick of spice. The mezze plate was equally delicious. Everything is served with warm fresh pita bread. A solid 5-star rating for the almond croissant. Hands down the best croissant I've had in the world! What makes it unique is the warm condensed almond drizzle served on the inside. I'm drooling now just thinking about it. read more
