I have been here 5 times this month. This time they did not have gluten free bread, It would be really nice if you could get some and some honey mustard dressing. I love the Peabody it’s such a beautiful place. I am local and I come at least 5 times in December to see the tree and bring my friends. The duck master is amazing. Don’t know his name but it’s the younger one. I will be back tomorrow with two different friends. Just love this place.

The concept of this restaurant is fantastic if you’re one that usually can’t make up your mind on what to eat. Little plates are served and nicely presented. Also wine or whiskey comes in flights. You can close as many as you would like but 3 is a good choice. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert but we’ll be back next time we are in the area. Such a great variety of meats and they had my favorite dish: chicken and waffles. The chicken was sooo tender! Everything was delicious and the service from Reece was impeccable.

Chef Wilson was able to accommodate my gluten free diet, and my friend's diet, both gluten and dairy. He made an excellent gluten free shrimp carbonera for me and also a delicious impromptu chocolate parfait dessert for my friend. Also, the live musical performance of Pam and Terry was enormously entertaining. They are true entertainers. We had a great meal and a great evening!
