    Initial reservation was for 6 guests; restaurant was able to accommodate us without hesitation even though we had 8 guests. Our server, Lexi, was attentive and helpful with suggestions. Half of our party had previously dined at Parkshore Grill, while the remainder were “newbies!”. The pacing of our meal was perfect allowing us time to catch up on news with one another while also permitting us to eat wile our food was at the perfect temperature.

    My wife and I dined at Juno & the Peacock for our wedding anniversary. We had an amazing experience, thanks to Patrick’s (our waiter) excellent service and recommendations. Starting with our cosmopolitan and Moscow mule, the Ahi Tuna Tartare and Pork belly were exquisite. The crab-crusted grouper and winter squash campanelle were delicious. To top it off the key lime tart was to die for. We will definitely be back!
