Excellent food. Killer cocktails. And an awesome staff that is always courteous, attentive, and fun. If you're getting food, definitely try the blistered green beans, poutine, and the farmer's salad (which is like a Cobb salad/bowl, it's amazing) *but* my all-time fave is the fried chicken sandwich - it's honestly one of the best l've ever had in Charleston. Also, this place is huge so they were able to accommodate my friend's post-wedding party (about 20 people) at the last minute and we had a blast. Everywhere else we tried to go either didn't have the space for us or were closing so it totally made our night! We just made sure to call ahead to check and they were more than happy to have us - the bride was happy so you know it was good :) Bottom line, the Peacock is a local gem hidden in plain sight on East Bay and, as a local, it's become one of my top go-to's in Charleston. You can't beat the prices (seriously), ambience, quality, and awesome staff. They also have live music every week so they know how to keep it classy and lively at the same time. I highly recommend checking it out! read more

A huge shout-out to The Peacock for once again taking such wonderful care of our friend and us on her 50th Birthday! The staff went above and beyond, and the entire evening went off without a hitch. The bartenders were fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone's glasses were never empty (water included!). We also ordered one of our favorite dishes, the Farmer's Salad with Chicken, and it was absolutely delicious -- so good, in fact, that we dove right in and forgot to take a photo first! The food at the surrounding tables looked equally incredible; I'd especially recommend the cheese plate and the tuna. As a bonus, there's a nightclub on the second floor that gets lively on weekends, so the fun doesn't have to stop after dinner. If you haven't been to The Peacock yet, do yourself a favor and stop by -- great food, great drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

The Peacock on East Bay Street is everything you want in a Charleston dining experience -- and then some. From the moment you walk through the door, you're transported into a world of stunning décor that perfectly blends art deco with modern sophistication. Now, the food. The farmers salad is a standout -- fresh, vibrant, and packed with wholesome ingredients that somehow manage to feel both indulgent and nourishing at the same time. It's the kind of salad you actually crave. And the truffle fries? Oh my goodness -- perfectly crispy, generously truffle-kissed, and absolutely impossible to stop eating. Hands down some of the best fries in Charleston. The service matched every bite -- attentive, warm, and genuinely hospitable without being overbearing. The staff made us feel like regulars from the first visit. The Peacock isn't just a restaurant -- it's an experience. I cannot recommend it enough! read more

Great place. Nice bartender and good drinks. Would definitely stop by again. The Anything Goes was amazing and I could drink them all night.

Stopped in for our bach dinner, and the decor and vibes were exactly what we were looking for. The truffle fries are an absolute must. We literally demolished them in a few minutes and they made our whole night. I got the ahi tuna and salmon poke bowl for my entree, which lived up to my expectations. For dessert, we shared the s'mores molten lave cake, which I thought was okay. Service was also great and fast. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner experience. read more

We came in for an after dinner drink so decided to go upstairs to the second floor lounge. There was live music down stairs. Upstairs it was pretty chill and quiet so easy to chat and lots of comfortable seating. My sister wanted a mint tea and since they didn't have one the bartender added fresh mint leaves to her tea and she really enjoyed it. She loved the espresso martini and the flavor of the smoked pecan liquor. The cranberry fizz was very good. It was a light refreshing drink that had a great blend of flavors, some spice and some sweetness. Both bartenders were great and continued to check on us even when they had a large group come in. read more

I stopped by here for drinks and an early dinner after a walking tour downtown. Since it was early, there was no wait and plenty of tables to choose from on the roof top. If you are at a rooftop table, you can order food from the bar. We tried several drinks and entrees, all were great! I recommend the truffle fries as an app to share with drinks. There's a small water view from the roof, and a great breeze. It feels like a hidden gem! Looking forward to going back soon. read more

Pleasantly surprised and will return! Popped in on a whim today and had a great lunch on the roof. Downstairs is cozy and vibe-y, would sit down there for a full meal with friends or in the winter. The rooftop has a great view and easy bar ordering. Parking is easy at the Cumberland garage or other nearby garages. The bartender and hostess were friendly and answered questions. The chicken sandwich was perfectly done - crispy dry and love that it includes a side of fries. Great price point too! read more

The downstairs restaurant is gorgeous & comfortable Hollywood glam style. I appreciate the combination of the low lighting and lively bar. The tables are also appropriately spaced to maximize capacity and privacy. Our server, V (yes, like the letter) was simply amazing. We had so many questions about the *wonderful* menu and she was so patient and answered all of our questions. She recommended the Cafe Society (Espresso Martini) and seriously; It was one of the best I've ever had. A special drink, no doubt. We also ordered a few martinis not on the menu and they came out tasting just as wonderful. There was 5 of us, so thankfully we were able to try a bunch of dishes! We started with the Charcuterie & Cheese Board, Truffle Fries, and the Fried Green Tomatoes &THE CRAB DIP. You could skip on the Cheese Board as it was very simple, however the fries, fried green tomatoes & crab dip are must haves! We ordered two crab dips! For entrees, the market catch of the day/week was a scallop & risotto dish that the girls were drooling over while they gobbled it right up. We also had the smash burger, steak frites & clam/shrimp ciopinno. The beef dishes were good but the shrimp ciopinno and market catch were the shining stars! This was also the best service we had our entire time in Charleston. However, beware of the 3 flights of stairs to get to the roof top that is nice but not the same caliber as the first floor restaurant- reservations recommended. read more

Lovely spot in the French Quarter with quality food and service. I had the Farmer's Salad and a side of Truffle Fries. Both were delicious. They had live music playing on a Thursday night. read more

A little disappointed with The Peacock. They're known for their cocktails, but we came for the full experience and while the food was actually quite good, the drinks fell flat, especially in presentation. What really made the night was our server, Martin. Martin brought such great energy and truly elevated the entire experience! read more

Our party enjoyed a wonderful dinner here. We arrived early and had cocktails on the second floor, which was a great way to start the evening. The ambiance is a total vibe, and the service was excellent. We visited during Restaurant Week, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I'd definitely recommend ordering the crab dip as a starter. An A+ dining experience overall! read more

The Peacock is a must-visit in Charleston--gorgeous multi-level space with a rooftop view that can't be beat. I tried the green beans (my new favorite appetizer) and the truffle fries, both perfectly seasoned and addictive. The vibe is upscale but fun, with friendly, attentive service. Whether you're here for cocktails, dinner, or just the view, it's an experience worth repeating. read more

Stopped by here for brunch before heading to the IAAM. I loved the gold and green aesthetic and the diverse playlist. The service was excellent. The food was okay. The portions were quite small for the price though. I would recommend for a drink and an appetizer, but not a full meal if you're really hungry. They do have an amazing photo spot by the restrooms! read more

My wife and I enjoyed visiting The Peacock last night; it was the last night of restaurant week. For appetizers, we had the bang bang shrimp and the blistered green beans: both came out of the kitchen very hot and tasted fantastic! For mains, I had the lamb that makes my mouth water at memory; the hint of mint in the sauce and grilled flavor was great. My wife had the salmon and risotto that was delightful. For dessert, we had creme brulee and s'more molton lava cake...both were a perfect sweet end to the meal. The atmosphere was really good, a large bar with smaller tables. The staff were attentive and we asked for a slower pace to our meal, which they provided perfectly. Most people were there for an hour or so, we were there over two hours and enjoyed every minute. read more

Had the last dinner of my friend's bachelorette here and it did not disappoint! All the food and drinks we ordered were really good. 100% get the truffle fries!!! It is on the pricy side, but for a nicer dinner it's worth it. The decor is really fun with a few spots to take cute photos if you're in a group! Unfortunately, due to weather the rooftop bar was closed so we couldn't go there after our dinner; so a must try next time we're in town! read more

Not our favorite meal in Charleston, but not the worst either! My husband enjoyed his poke bowl but I was underwhelmed with my salad. We both agreed the truffle fries were the best part of the night! Definitely a smaller menu so be sure to check it out first to make sure there's something you like! Made a reservation ahead of time and it was nice to have - got seated outside right away! read more

I just have to say that for one of my first times in Charleston, The Peacock was definitely a warm welcome and surely a great spot to choose to eat at. Our servers, DJ and Dave, truly need the largest raise because they were amazing. Definitely props to Dave because he made the experience smooth and perfect. The food was great too. I had the Smash Burger and I was in shock. The bacon was crispy and juicy, and the patty was cooked to perfection. Also, the lighting and whole look of this establishment was very unique and cool in its own way. This place deserves a 5-star and more because it was great. Looking forward to coming back to Charleston! -Jacob Moore read more

One of the absolute best restaurants in Charleston that is 5 stars in every category. With only two weeks to prepare for our 30th high school reunion dinner, the Peacock staff was amazing in helping us execute one of the best events. Service: the event coordinator, Shannon, was very affable, diligent and responsive in planning a dinner best suited for us and helped prepare for our dinner. The GM, Cass took care of us on the day of and made sure we had all we needed througout the evening Dave, the bartender, was the absolute best. Ambiance: The Peacock's room "The Speakeasy" was ideal for a party of 30. Food: The dood was outstanding and the Peacock staff ensured all 30 of us were served our meals, hot and timely. read more

We were visiting Charleston from Tampa. We found this place due to its close proximity to where we were staying. What a treat! It's a beautiful restaurant with incredible service. The food was delicious! Fresh, flavor full, beautiful and all the pleasures South Carolina has to offer. When we're in Charleston again we will visit The Peacock. read more

I stopped in as part of a trio for a pre-dinner cocktail. The weather was mild, so we trekked up to the rooftop and found seats on the couches. Our server was friendly and pretty prompt also, though he did accidentally deliver the wrong drinks at first. It ended up being a good thing, as he wasn't sure who they belonged to, so he gave them to us on the house. I ordered their take on an espresso martini. It was nice and smooth, and a good choice ahead of a night out in Charleston. The decor here is gorgeous, truly, I even found myself taking pictures of the bathroom on the second floor. I wouldn't hesitate to return, perhaps for a meal too, on a future trip to the city. read more

This place advertises as brunch, but their menu is very much just regular lunch, which I found odd. Cocktail menu looked pretty decent, and the bar tender can work off menu as well. They have an espresso machine, so can make essentially any coffee drink you want, though they seem ill-practiced at it. The server asked my wife to evaluate whether her Americano was "correct" because she wasn't sure if the barista made it right. My cappuccino was an 8oz mug of hot milk with an espresso shot instead of a proper cappuccino. I had the smoked salmon, which was a plate of bread, salmon, crème, and toppings a la build-your-own bagel with locks. It was tasty. My wife had the poutine, which was a huge portion of McDonald's fries with shredded pot roast and cheese, complete with separate gravy boat. Prices were on the high end of reasonable, especially for certain dishes. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and a couple of weeks ago, we finally got the opportunity. Unfortunately, I was kinda left...underwhelmed. The service was fine, although we did have to wait for a while before we were able to order. By the time we ordered our brunch, it was time for another round of drinks. We're lushes, but still - it had been a minute. Once we ordered, the food got there very quickly, which, honestly, made me a little nervous. My stepmom ordered a sandwich, they brought out the wrong dish (understandble - it can happen to anyone), but her correct order arrived not even a minute later. I got the fried chicken sandwich, which was fine. The food was nothing to write home about, which was disappointing because I've heard others say this place was pretty good! Maybe we went on a bad day? It's possible! The highlight of our time there was when we went to their rooftop patio. Great atmosphere up there with the lounge seating and TVs everywhere, as well as a nice view of the water. I will say the bartenders know their stuff, as the drinks were the best part of the meal/patio hangout (again: lushes). read more

The Peacock - I'm a manly man, so I only order the manliest espresso martinis. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We had really high expectations per reviews...the restaurant itself is nice looking on first level. I heard they had 3 levels. The service was excellent and that is where it stops. We ordered truffle fries as appetizers. They Gave you a massive amount of fries which had absolutely no truffle flavor that I could detect. A ton of parm and fries were soggy. The onto the main meal. I had the poke bowl and it was a stretch calling it a.poke bowl. Worst one I've ever had, and I have had many. My husband had the lolly pop lamb chops and said they were overdone. The whole experience was so underwhelming. We would not recommend or return. read more

Loved the vibe of the Peacock. We stopped in one evening after leaving an event. There was an acoustic entertainer at the time, who was really good. 3 people in my party, and we each ordered a cocktail and entree. I ordered Rosé and a plate of chicken tenders and upgraded the fries to truffle fries. The portion sizes was enormous, definitely enough for 2 people, so of course some went home wiwith me. The truffle fries were delicious and chicken tenders were seasoned well and meaty. I'll be back. I want to check out their roof top. read more

Came for post brunch cocktails because it was a gorgeous November day in Charleston so it called for rooftop drinks. Walked in Sunday at about 1:30 and were able to get 4 seats at the ledge facing the water. We had espresso martinis, jazz hands and old sport. All were excellent and our waiter was friendly and funny. Will absolutely be back and we'll try some food next time. Only stayed on the roof but that's def a good spot for a celebration or a casual meet for a drink. read more

It was very loud due to there being a DJ but it was a fun environment. The food was fantastic. I had the smoked Salmon and it was perfectly smoked with cucumbers lemon and capers with a delicious sauce on nice crispy bread. The chicken sandwich was nice and crispy with great flavor.

After eating my way through Charleston, this place was as an absolute standout, the best meal we had the entire trip. The vibe inside the restaurant is very Hollywood glam, gold and jewel tones - which is my absolute fave. Our server, Mo, was very friendly and patient with our questions and making recommendations. I ordered the bathtub gin blues cocktail and it was quite good - beautiful presentation along with the taste! For entrees, we tried the summer salad with seared shrimp, lamb lollipops, burger, and Caesar salad. Every bite was fantastic. And I say this as someone who doesn't even enjoy lamb but I could have eaten that entire plate myself! The Charleston food scene is crowded but it's definitely worth finding time to go here. read more

We just stopped here for a drink at the bar, but it was really nice. We only stopped for one drink, but service was very friendly and it was very calm in the bottom lobby where we had our drinks. I ordered the Giggle juice, which the bartender recommended to me since I like sparkling wine, and it was okay - a little too much liquor vs. sparkling wine for me. Next time I'm here, I'll probably just order a glass of some sort of sparkling wine. But it was a very nice ambiance - very chill, with kind service, and cool drinks. Nicely spaced bar too. My friend really liked her cocktail (Chaplins Cooler). I'll def stop by here again for some drinks before dinner! read more

Just when I thought that Charleston couldn't get any better, The Habit came on board. It is an upscale, multi-tiered entertainment experience with upscale dining, a speakeasy lounge, and a rooftop deck overlooking Charleston Harbor. The Habit is opened daily 9:30 am-10pm Sunday -Wednesday; 9:30am-2 am Thusday-Saturday. The venue is beautiful, beginning in the Gatsy inspired first floor where we enjoyed a delightful breakfast while chatting with the bartender. I ordered the Smoked Atlantic Salmon served with fresh bread, lemon-dill creme fraiche, capers, shallots, and sliced cucumbers. (very tasty, but I prefer thinner sliced cucumbers). My guy decided on the Breakfast Sandwich with a choice of Applewood bacon or house sausage, fried egg, white American cheese on a Brioche bun. Parmesan fingerling potatoes completed his order. Each entree was less than $20. Linch & dinner are also offered with a wide selection of wines and cocktails. There are weekly new and recurring events, including NFL and college football. The rooftop and cocktails are romantic ways to complete your evening. All in all, The Habit has going. read more

Upon entering, the first floor, captured my eye because of its Gatsby Art Deco decor. Heading up to the second floor, it didn't disappoint and then the rooftop lounge was a wonderful touch to the use of the space. Amazing view from the rooftop! The weather was superbly warm and I loved soaking up the sun. I like the sections of each lounge booth area. It creates a sense of comfortable privacy while enjoying the lounge on the rooftop. Fantastic service. Our waiter came around often and he filled up my cup of water constantly - even at the end after the tab was paid for. They have a variety of cocktails and nice entrees/bites to choose from. Poutine is a must get! They don't skimp out on the portions and the gravy with the cheese and beef, was just all wonderful and complimenting each other. Close to the market hall and harbor view location. It's a must visit spot when in Charleston! read more

What a delightful place. I stumbled upon The Habit while looking reserve a lunch through Open Table and boy was I glad I did! Upon being seated in the mail floor dining room I asked how long they have been open and was told just 5 weeks! Wonder how I missed this one! The three story building houses a main floor dining room with upscale bar and velvet booths. Great for date night. On the second floor the Peacock Lounge has a NYC sophisticated/ private club feel with leather sofas in the cozy corners. There is also a smaller sized bar for a more intimate feel. A must for Happy Hour! You will also find a Private Event venue here. This multi faceted property has so much to offer in terms of events too. NFL Football etc., it's like having your own private club downtown. It's just clubby enough of a feel where you'll have some nice choices of where you would like to hang out, have a drink, enjoy a great meal, or sit and chat with friends and colleagues. The Rooftop has a beautiful view of Charleston- great for having a small bite, enjoying a sunset beverage, or just sitting under the stars! VIP seating is available with private TV's. Theme nights are ongoing here ranging from Motown, 70', 80's, 90's... what fun! Every night BTW! The staff were eager to show me around --all three floors-- which was a nice touch and informative as this property is quite versatile in nature and not just your run of the mill restaurant. Service and management were friendly and eager to please. They certainly have a special place located in the heart of town that will satisfy everyone's needs. read more
