I love the peacock alley. The staff the drinks and food were amazing. The only thing I was sad about was Friday and Saturday they didn’t have the signature drink which is called looking through the mirrored glass. That was my reason for them not getting a full 5 stars. It’s the weekend and it’s ur signature drink it should be available. They did make it up to us by giving us 2 glasses of champagne and a free appetizers which was sweet. I’m sad I didn’t get to have the signature drink which I hear is amazing and worth the 30 dollars. everything else was amazing.

We are staying at the Waldorf and decided to give the Peacock Alley Bar a try. It was delish, I had 2 glasses of wine and peacock egg it tastes like a boozy lemonade and I definitely recommend it if anything just to look at it while you’re drinking it really cool! The egg itself is frozen and the liquid is somehow unfrozen inside illuminated by at the bottom by Blue what looks like a sugar in a light very cool! We were feeling a little hungry after a long day at Universal Studios and decided to get some snacks we got a charcuterie board and a cheese board both were absolutely yummy! The bread was nice and crispy the cheese selections were great my husband really liked the blue cheese selection. My husband chose the shrimp spring rolls he said they were pretty good, but he probably wouldn’t order them again. I had the eggplant french fries they were absolutely fantastic it’s my new obsession! We also had the tomato soup that comes with a small little grilled cheese sandwich that soup was sooooo good!!! I recommend it! Lastly we shared the Waldorf salad this is obviously a classic of the Waldorf Astoria but it was absolutely AMAZING and would be great with a chicken breast on top we’re getting it every time we come here! All in all a great experience!

This is a bright open lounge where anyone can come to relax, talk and have a drink. They serve awesome coffees and teas perfect for an afternoon pick me up. Love the fresh orchids donning the tables.

Peacock Alley is an open, elegant bar and retreat within the Waldorf. The vivid teals and blues are complimented by the wood furniture and large windows overlooking the hotel grounds creating a comfortable respite between activities, to meet friends or an early meal. The seating is comfortable and laid out for small groups providing an oasis of quiet for your group. Despite the open nature of the layout, the feel is intimate and relaxing — peaceful even at certain times of day. The service is excellent which is to be expected at a Waldorf, of course. The olive tapenade and sampler was very popular among our crowd and welcome while we ordered. The drinks were mixed well and generous in portion. The food was excellent, the service superb but unobtrusive allowing us to focus on conversation — perfect!

History can’t be changed or influenced — nostalgic ambiance can. The Peacock Alley bar at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando is THE most comfortable, relaxing lobby bar I have ever experienced. Waitresses are dressed exquisitely, offer wonderful drinks and are polite. Stop in for an afternoon and just relax.

We stopped in for a casual lunch at the end of our conference last week. The space was really nice — comfortable tables and chairs and great atmosphere. The service was entirely too slow… it took nearly 40 minutes for our food to be served. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was good, but not worth waiting so long for it. It seems like we weren’t the only group to experience slow service… it was the talk of the conference.

Upon our return we sat at our table for 15 minutes before anyone approached us. We had to wave down our first waitress. In all honesty, we walked over from the Hilton and had(almost finished) cocktails. That could be why we were completely ignored. We had full intentions of ordering new cocktails and appetizers but we never had the opportunity. By the time we flagged someone down the opportunity for food was closed so we ordered one cocktail. We were promised bar nuts and olives and 20 minutes later the nuts arrived. They were smothered with artificial flavoring and sugar, very disappointing. The olives never surfaced. Sadly we were quite nippish and it was almost 11:00 pm. It would have been better if they had just said they were closed than to promise things that they never delivered. The olives never arrived and that was the only reason we stayed after waiting 20 minutes for a cocktail. After an hour with no service we had to flag another person down to actually pay our bill. The décor is beautiful. It is sad that the training of their employees was so weak. Very disappointing !

This is a very comfortable space. When compared to its NYC location this space is similar in décor but substantially fresher and bright. If you want a cocktail, your in the right spot. I had a bloody mary and a seven & seven. Both expertly created and delicious. The food offering are Waldorf classics like filet mignon sliders and waldorf salad. Both were fantastic and true to the Waldorf tradition. Our server Jennifer was very friendly, accomidating, and helpful. I look forward to future visits to Peacock Alley. It just may be my new favorite place to relax, have a drink, and enjoy a little bite.

The food is great. Small but innovative menu. However, the biggest thing that struck me on my two visits here was the slooow speed of the kitchen. I’m not sure physically where the food comes from in relation to the seating area, but the wait time is way to long for how simple the menu items are. The bartenders that service the area however were friendly. There is also patio seating here with a view of the Waldorf pool.

I really enjoy this location when wanting to go out and have that«classy» feel, which is a nice change from the Chili’s down the road serving up balloon animals with your margarita. If you’re just coming for a drink, make sure to valet up front as they validate. Don’t do the garage, as it is $ 8 for over 20 minutes. If you can woof it down in 19 minutes, then you’re golden! Drinks here are $ 12 for cocktails, $ 14 for martinis. Yes, it’s pricey. but they are also premium and taste very good! You also get a nice selection of peanuts to munch on while you lounge. While I have not tried the food, it seems reasonably priced for the location. Service is quick and friendly and an overall nice location. You can also catch the life piano player at night. Be sure to check out this location when in the area!

The Fall Harvest cocktail here is delicious but the price is atrocious. The same goes for all the martinis, wines, mixed drinks, food, everything. Mad expensive. But guess what? You’re in the Waldorf Astoria so open your wallet… or just charge it to your room, that’s much easier. Peacock Alley is a large open area with a shiny bar and many comfortable chairs and sofas strewn about the room. There is a pianist that shows up in the evenings though sadly, I never caught him/her at work. They make good drinks here and the bartenders are pretty friendly. I saw a few other reviewers mention that their bartenders were slow. Perhaps they are if you are seated in the room. However, if you order a drink AT the bar, it will not seem as such. Be a people person and go chat. If the mood strikes you, there is a long stretch of balcony just outside where you can sit and drink and watch the day/night pass you by. It’s groovy.

The food was good, although small portions and pretty overpriced(to be expected in the Waldorf Hotel bar, I suppose). Service was very slow even when the bar was only half full and the waitresses could certainly have been friendlier and more attentive.

I went here last week for a bit to check out the place and we stopped for a few drinks. The service was quite slow, especially since there were only a few patrons. Once she came by, she was really kind and somewhat attentive. She stopped by occasionally. I had the fess parker reisling, my dining partner the merlot and we shared the cheese plate. I was quite surprised there were no crackers with it, but just fruits, deli style meats, and various cheeses. Next time I plan on going to the more gentlemen’s bar locaction, Sir what’s his name. Also, prices were okay and on par for this location and similiar to the surrounding resorts.

Not having made a reservation at the B&B in time, our dinner was delayed to 9:30(or so we were told at first). The logical thing would be to preen and strut at the Peacock Alley lounge, right? Problem might have been because we were not in our pre-metamorphosis day clothes, but MAN was the service painfully hard to come by. I know there were only 2 waitresses for a pretty sprawling place, but despite there being quite a few tables occupied, the two waitresses didn’t appear to be stressing out. So howzabout glancing our way from time to time? We ordered the fish tacos for a snack. Without any warning from the menu, these came as RAW fish tacos(as in tuna). They looked lovely, and I would have wolfed down all 3(but not saved room for dinner), but my funny Valentine doesn’t do raw fish. We changed it to crab cakes, which the new waitress who saw us waving madly explained would take 20 minutes(took 25). Saving grace was that those 3 clumps were probably the best crab cakes we’ve had in recent memory. Quite unlike the usual oily, bready-y fare, and really nothing that fancy — just very fresh-tasting crab in chunky little mounds. At $ 16(at a Waldorf, no less), they were actually quite the bargain. I really was set on 2 stars due to the frustrating, often-non-existent service, but on account of the crab cakes, and a pretty generous portion of wine/bubbly by the glass, jacked it up to a trey.
