Peabody's

Good food and service. Portions kind of small depending on what you order. Lobster mac and cheese is good. Salmon is good but portion is small. Prime rib is good and portion is large. Filet mignon is delicious but tiny.

A couple of notable things. First, this place is old. I don't just mean the wood decor, or the single place setting of flatware you get that looks like it's from 1975. I mean the clientele is generally over 60. When we came to eat at 7 pm, most of the patrons were leaving (presumably from the early bird special?), and we looked younger than just about everyone by 20 years.

The food wasn't bad. I will say the portions seem pretty small. A chicken dish is maybe a third of a typical breast; the flat iron steak was smaller than a typical filet serving. At the price point, it struck me as a little thin.

One really positive note: the calamari was really fresh and well-seasoned. It wasn't rubbery like most calamari.

We may come back. It has a nice quieter ambiance when you're there later in the evening to chat with others.

i went to Peabodys w/ my husband, parents, and cousin for the first time recently for a nice evening out to catch up with some drinks and good food. After reading the reviews and looking at the menu I was absolutely expecting good traditional food and good cocktails-nothing too fancy or pricey. Even after going in with what I think were reasonable expectations I was pretty disappointed. The beef wellington appetizer was pretty poor-the puff pastry was a gooey doughy mess. The clam chowder was ok, in no way the best of any strip i've ever been to. I ordered the shrimp and avocado salad and that by far was the worst thing i have ever had at a restaurant. It was so sweet it tasted like a creamsicle on lettuce. Eh. Luckily everyone else's dinners were good. Again, nothing we talked about, but acceptable. Anything that was ordered that would be considered "bar food" was very good. the onion rings, fries, and club were excellent. so if you're going for a sandwich and anything fried, you're probably good to go.
The biggest reason I would never go back was the service. Our waitress was all business and no help. She just seemed to hate her job and it spilled over onto our experience-it was uncomfortable.
I would recommend if you're going out skip this one and try another of the many great options in the area.
