Okay... hear me out ... I am really sorry for the blurry Mahi picture but it was DELICIOUS! Peacock Cafe was a decent surprise. I have not really heard of it before. Found it when I was going through a list of restaurants in Georgetown and I said to myself "I guess this is where I am eating tonight." I am happy to report that it was a good decision. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance with some of the most attentive and courteous staff. Let's get to the entree. I ordered the Mahi Tosho-Shirin (I hope I did not mess up the spellings) and it was delightful! Crispy, seasoned and perfectly grilled fillet of Mahi over a bed of velvety spinach. Over a bed of apricot and fig sauce that was to DIE for! Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this place and I definitely will be coming back. 4.4/5 read more

This is a rightly popular spot in the Georgetown neighborhood. They have a sort of 'elevated diner' thing going on. Very laid back and friendly, managers come around to say hi and such. It's got a lot of tables in a pretty funky space, I wandered around just to check out the various nooks and crannies of the interior. Oh right the food. We have both picky eaters and food restrictions so I always spy out menus before picking places. Peacock has a quite wide selection ranging from breakfast to brunch to sandwiches etc. (this was late Sunday morning). I got the eggs Chesapeake with crab and Hollandaise, very delicate and fresh. Wife got gluten free French toast, daughter a scrambled egg plate and son a tasty chicken sandwich. Overall really liked this spot. read more

I recently stopped by Peacock Café in Georgetown and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs along with a spicy margarita, and both were fantastic. The hash was flavorful and perfectly cooked -- hot, hearty, and clearly made with care. The eggs were just right, and everything came out fresh and beautifully plated. The spicy margarita had a great kick without being overpowering, balancing the meal perfectly. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet refined -- perfect for a weekend brunch or a casual meal with friends. Overall, a delicious and satisfying experience. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu! read more

My friend's birthday brunch was a hit. Cocktails were amazing, food was good too, but the service was the best. First of all, the manager has put some decorations on the table for our occasion. Our server was so patient and kind, he was able to do separate checks for a party of 14. Unbelievably accommodating. The atmosphere was beautiful, I love the decorations and paintings on the wall and the lighting was stunning. And our group dressed in peacock colors to spin a little bit of fun and we had the best time celebrating our friend. Highly recommend, such a cute cafe with a big heart. read more

Got a seat at the bar for brunch service. Was busy but the volume wasn't too much for conversation, biggest latte I've ever had in my life, literally almost the size of my head. Chesapeake Benedict was good, would have preferred a different bread base but I could have asked for sub! Fries were delicious and extra crispy. Very solid brunch. read more

We had a delicious dinner last night with a friend who was celebrating her birthday. She has frequented this restaurant a lot because they're sensitive to gluten and have a lovely menu. The ambiance was cute and quaint and right in the heart of Georgetown. There was a parking garage right next door which was amazing since we were coming from Alexandria. I paid $20 for a few hours. I was greeted by both the hostess and owner who I need to say was so attentive to everyone. He really seemed kind and very interested in his patrons experience which isn't something people do anymore so kudos to him. I asked about sangria but they didn't have one, so I ended up with a Tito's and pineapple. It was made well with fresh fruit and lime. I had two that were delicious. For an app I ordered the bruschetta. This was a miss for me as there was so much balsamic it looked like the cheese was "grilled chicken" at first. It made the bread so soggy that everything fell through the bed. The tomato's and cheese were fresh but again ruined by the dressing. I could only eat one. My crab risotto on the other hand was wonderful. So so good and a large portion! I then had the volcano chocolate lava cake for dessert. It was yummy. Prices were accurate for DC and I would gladly return just based on the service. read more

Overpriced and not totally worth .... thought they would use english muffin instead of toast for my peacock eggs chesapeake (which is essentially a crab egg benedict). lowkey feels a little cheap??? you would expect bigger portion sizes for the $$$. Loved the thin crispy frites though, they're just the way I like them. Highly do nottttt recommend getting the lattes here, they were really bad and watered down and costed $7 read more

Stopped for dinner while in Georgetown and throughly enjoyed the experience. My family had the crab cakes (excellent with little filler), filet, tuna salad, and grouper (pictured). All of the items were prepared perfectly. The restaurant was packed which made it a little noisy but it is nice to see diners out and about having a good time. read more

Perfection!! I have dined there often over the last few years and have never had a bad meal.

Peacock Cafe is a Georgetown staple, especially as restaurants nearby come and go. The space is intimate, and the service is efficient and kind. The menu has many options, including smoothies and juices and brunch. I enjoyed the homemade passion fruit lemonade. For lunch, I ordered off the brunch menu. The breakfast sandwich was decent, but won't win any awards. It was very basic. However, the fruit cup that it comes with was awesome! It came with quality fruit- raspberries, pear, pineapple. read more

3'5'2022 Anni Weekend in Georgetown. Hubby surprised me w brunch here. I was genuinely impressed. This place was very pretty on the exterior and interior. Essa was our table person and took great care of us. Collectively, we ordered the following. "Gluten Free" Cinnamon Raisin" French Toast Applewood Smoked Bacon The All American Peacock Iced Coffee Liquor Hot Toddy Each and everything we ordered came out well plated and delicious. I recommend this place to anyone looking for and classy, yum, and quality brunch w impeccable service. read more

Great spot, great service, great vibes! If you're in the Georgetown area I highly recommend giving this place a go, the food is amazing (I ordered the Gluten free cinnamon french toast, though I saw many food options on the menu that I'd try out) and service is efficient and very professional. It definitely exceeded my expectations, and had a sort-of "fine dining" service appeal which was very surprising. The only con is that the inside is super cramped making it hard to truly enjoy your company (if you're not a fan of being a hair's breath away from your neighboring table, I wouldn't recommended), so I'll be glad to come back in sunnier weather so I can take advantage of the outdoor area which looked a bit more spacious. read more

Beautiful restaurant and attentive service BUT. Essentially upscale "cafe" menu and low quality cooking. Everything about the meal was poorly cooked and we waited for over 30 min for a burger and steak. The food was all wrong-burger had onions (ordered no onion), bun was literally cold. Steak ($44!) ordered medium came out well done and with a steak sauce we asked to not have. Also the bathrooms-literally the toilet seat fell off the toilet when I stood up. read more

Aug 2025 update: I had the flourless cheesecake. It was super!! This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that has a cheesecake WITH a crust that is gluten free!! HOORAY! The crust is made of walnut. All I care is it tasted great and it definitely had no wheat. (I am fairly sensitive so I would have gotten sick if it had wheat.) I also had their corned beef hash with the gluten free bread. It's great food and great service. Highly recommended! read more

Came here recently with an old colleague and friend. It was her recommendation since it was a spot she often goes to. I've seen this little cafe many times on my way to Georgetown but never had a chance to go so I was excited. There is a small outdoor section (where people were seated in the thick of chilly November, brave!). I chose the front section with the large windows where I could look outside. The lunch menu is pretty extensive with a selection of sandwiches, entrees, burgers and salads. We both ordered the Cajun spiced chicken salad with avocado and the walnuts and dressing on the side. The service was great, constantly filling up my water since I drink a lot of it. I really enjoyed the salad and was a little nervous the chicken would be too spicy (it was not). This is a really nice casual spot. And there are different sections of the restaurant so having a private conversation at least during lunch hours is definitely possible. Would be a great business meeting spot. read more

Sounds like this restaurant is a Georgetown staple. I met a local client for lunch and we had a good experience here between the waitstaff and quality of food. I did the soup special and Caesar salad and she has chicken and vegetables. Nothing went wrong but nothing we ordered (which was basic) stood out. Perhaps I should have tried a signature dish but I wanted something easy to eat while chatting. read more

The food is amazing! Service is even better. The ambiance is cute but can get a bit packed. This spot is hands down one of my FAVORITE brunch spots.

The prices do not match up with the quality of the food here AT ALL. We were thoroughly underwhelmed by the poor quality of the food. The pancakes were genuinely inedible with horrible syrup as well. The fries were served cold. I asked for an apple juice and got charged $9.50 for some sort of smoothie concoction that I did not want at all. I will not be dining here again. read more

Not a hit! Our brunch started with a very unwelcome vibe from the host. 3 out of the 4 entrees were fine. The steak and eggs were served with two fatty end cuts of "filet". Also, oddly the restaurant is well kept and on the fancier side yet the restrooms looked like a greasy spoon diner. Go figure! read more

We were visiting Georgetown and walked to the top of the Exorcist stairs. Not wanting to walk right back down, we came upon this little cafe off the Main Street. Servers are extremely attentive. Food is mostly Americana, but they've got some Italian deli inspired sandwiches on the backside of the menu. Wife ordered a portabella sandwich and I got eggplant and Brie. Both were really good and it's nice that they come with homemade pita chips rather than fries. Recommended if you're looking for a quiet cafe with outdoor seating. read more

I'm giving five stars because of the food being good and our server being super attentive! I came here with a friend and we both have food allergies. My friend actually is very allergic to quite a few things. The server was very patient with us as we explained our allergies, and was very attentive to them. The first that she ordered he actually looked at the ingredients himself and found one of her allergens and told her she couldn't have it. This made us feel a lot better because we knew that he was going to make sure that we both had a safe experience. This is really hard to find! My friend got the risotto and the portion size was pretty big and very delicious. I got the pasta with roast sauce and grilled chicken. The portion size was very good for the price in my opinion. The food came out piping hot to which I love! The roads sauce was very similar to a vodka sauce, very creamy and delicious. The chicken I expected to be dry, but it was actually very juicy and perfectly cooked! The ambience is nice inside. This is a great place to have dinner or brunch or lunch. I would definitely come here again and there are a lot of good options. read more

Peacock cafe always has such wonderfully curated dishes and the best staff! We tried a few different food items and my favorites were definitely the mushroom risotto and Albaloo chicken. If you're getting dessert you also have to get the bourbon pecan tarte or the roasted pear with ice cream! We came early and it wasn't super busy and then by the end of the night it was packed with big group tables. It's also a great environment because the owner will frequently check in and provide recommendations! read more

Super attentive, kind and enthusiastic staff members. The hostess made room for us at the bar between couples so we could surpass the three hour wait (we would never wait that long for drinks) but the fact that they asked people to make room was top-notch service. We ordered a glass of red wine ($16) and the monthly special, Old Fashioned Sherry ($15). The Pinot Noir was served at the right temperature--from a wine fridge! Always a good sign! The Old Fashioned Sherry wasn't what I expected, I wish I would have asked for a sugar cube but it did the trick (wink-wink). read more

My friends eat here regularly and this is my fist time. The service is excellent. They are fast and courteous. I love the ambience at the restaurant. Even though it was busy you can still hear the people at our table. We had the Calamari and the Crab cake appetizers. It was so good. The crab cakes are mostly crab and not just filling like other places. I would definitely order that next time. The tomato bisque soup was so good also. In retrospect I could of just eat all the appetizers and the soup. Don't get me wrong, the meals are good but the appetizers were so good I could have had more. Everyone loved their dishes. I had the curry lab sandwich but did not want the yogurt sauce. I lave the mix of curry flavor and the lamb. So good read more

This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant in Georgetown. Very cute, clean crisp white tablecloths and a soft pink hue from the side lighting.

This cafe is a great brunch spot! We sat outside on the patio in a great people watching spot. The tables come with umbrellas or under the building so you won't get burned in the summer.

The service was fast, efficient and helpful. read more

This is a great location for brunch. I have to say mediocre though. The service is good and nice interior but food options are limited. The omelette was good but not the best. It was not well put together and a little too dry. I would say benedict is a safe but they do not use an english muffin so just make sure you want something a little different. I would come back for the location and its a nice spot but would not say the food is the best! read more

My family and a few long-time friends and colleagues joined at Peacock Cafe for a customized dinner party that I hosted for my parents. Shannon Paretzky took great care of me from A to Z. She recommended popular apps and helped me decide in the perfect three course menu to make it special for everyone. I had the filet, medium rare, which was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The desert I chose was simple, yet decadent -- berries and whipped cream. The waitstaff was kind and generous and very patient with our larger group. (13 in all) The restaurant itself is smaller so there wasn't a private room. That is not a deterrent, but worth noting because it can get loud inside. I don't get to Georgetown much, but I am thrilled I had the opportunity to dine at Peacock. read more

My friend and I stopped in here on a rainy afternoon walking around Georgetown. We picked the place that was the most festive for this time of year. This place just makes you smile when you walk in with both their holiday decorations and atmosphere in general. The staff were so friendly starting from the woman who greeted us and offered to take our coats to the bartender who took one of the best photos we were able to get while she was visiting. We only stopped in for a drink. My friend had the Rosewater Coctail complete with a sugar rim and flower petal. I'm not a big fan of rosewater but it was pretty delicious. I had a house wine that hit that spot. Their menu looked fantastic, especially their brunch so I will definitely be returning! read more

There are tables outside with umbrellas, so don't worry about getting burnt aaaaanddd you always have the option of sitting inside at a table or the bar. Just two steps to get to the front door-- truly I hope they put in a rail so people can safely getting up and down those steps-- sorry, the healthcare professional in me!
