I thought this was going to be a great place for a relaxing Saturday afternoon drink with friends. Took 30 min from the drink order to the drinks being delivered. We joked about immediately putting in an order for a second round when the drinks arrived, we should have because the second round took another 22 minutes. We started paying attention to the other tables and noticed their service wasn't any better.

Beautiful, relaxing setting. We originally had two parties of 6 but due to illness we had a total of 10 so the waiter was able to accommodate us as one party of 10. The burger was amazing. 3 ordered it. The other entrees were a little disappointing, especially for the price. The waiter was very nice but the service was a bit slow.

I wish the food were better! Something always seems to be missing, despite the effort and pricing. Service was amazing, as always. Don’t know where the gap originated, but I was disappointed by my breakfast selection. Based on the location and the level of service, the quality of the food should match! I’ve been wowed by other, smaller, much less expensive restaurants, and I truly wish PA could match that. My advice is to skip the pancakes.

We went to celebrate my nieces' birthdays and the service was exceptional. We really appreciated the extra care that Methu took of the girls with the most thoughtful gesture of requesting the Harpist to kindly play happy birthday as he brought a complimentary dessert for them. The ambience, food and the thoughtful gesture made it an extra special experience for my nieces - who were not only touched by the whole experience but went home to tell their parents that they "had the best burger in their lives". A huge thank you to Methu and the entire Peacock Alley team for giving us the best experience.

It was amazing experience to celebrate my birthday in a such beautiful hotel. However the service given by the server was not good. We asked the lady who introduced herself for a sparkling water to start and that was a great day. We had a nice chit chat with her but to our surprise while she came back to serve the water, someone else took over. The person did not introduce himself and asked us if we were ready for any order. We were then confused because we thought that we were going to be serve by the friendly lady... We had to ask the server to come back as we barely started to get comfortable and started looking at the menu. When he came back, there was no recommendations, did not take us through the extensive beautiful menu but we knew what we were going to take. Since it is an experience,we may have tried what would have been recommended by the server. When the charcuterie arrived, it was not explained. I have a French background so I knew what was on the charcuterie and cheese board but my friend did not. She noticed that when the appetizer was dropped at the table in front of us, the person who dropped the food took the time to explain it. We hardly started the appetizer and the server came and asked if we were ready for the entree because he said he needs to gage it to come on time. That should have been done seamless without being mentioned to us. That should be on him without us knowing. During the service, the server stepped on my Prada shoes which I had to let him then after which he apologized. That was very upsetting. When we finished the entree, he asked if we wanted any desserts from which I replied " of course we want some some desserts, this is an experience and a birthday"...I think that should not have been asked, the menu should have been offered straight away whether we wanted to have one or not. This gave the impression that he wanted to get rid of us. Overall the hotel was splendid but the service was not up to it. Not a good birthday.

Waited 30 mins for lemonade and Ice Tea. Grateful that they had poured water for us when we sat down. Food came first before our drinks. Thank goodness there was a Harpist there to keep us satiated. I will not return.
