Why go
Book The Ivory Peacock for a polished Flatiron night when convenience, setting, and easy access matter more than a cuisine-specific destination meal. It is strongest for dates, small celebrations, and post-work plans; cross-shop Towa for a clearer Japanese $$$ splurge or The Grey Dog—Flatiron for a more casual neighborhood fallback.
About The Ivory Peacock
The Ivory Peacock is a New York City venue to consider when the plan needs a smart-casual setting and practical timing. This guide focuses on its city, dress code, and operating hours.
The smartest way to plan around The Ivory Peacock is to check the current venue channels before making it the centerpiece of a high-stakes night. The dress code is smart casual, and the hours run late on several nights, which can make it useful for evening plans in New York City.
Use it for smart-casual New York City plans, not a menu-driven dining hook
Recommendation is clearest for guests who want a smart-casual New York City option and need to plan around hours. The Ivory Peacock opens at 4 PM on Monday, at 12 PM Tuesday through Sunday, and stays open until midnight or later on most nights, with later closing times on Wednesday through Saturday.
Because no specific cuisine, chef, price tier, menu format, or awards are listed, this is not the page to treat as a menu-driven decision. If the priority is comparing another option, Towa may be worth considering. If the priority is a casual fallback, The Grey Dog, Flatiron is another option to consider. The Ivory Peacock makes more sense when the plan is built around smart-casual presentation and late hours.
Plan around confirmed details before making it your big-night default
For a first timer, avoid overloading the booking with assumptions. Start with a smaller plan, especially if menu specifics, service details, or dietary needs matter. Larger groups should check directly with the venue before relying on details that may change.
For readers building a New York City list, this belongs alongside practical citywide options rather than destination-only meals. Cross-shop broader picks in New York City restaurants guide, then use comparison venues to decide how formal the night should feel. If this is part of a longer itinerary, the New York City hotels guide and bars guide can help round out the rest of the plan.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Ivory Peacock presents itself as a low-profile, contemporary room tucked into Flatiron’s dense dining corridor. It leans into the younger, less institutionalized side of New York fine dining: tighter seating and a modern approach replace the formal trappings of legacy French houses. The experience reads intimate and quietly confident rather than ostentatious, and the sparse public footprint—no clearly listed phone or website—adds to its hidden-gem mystique. Expect a refined, trend-aware atmosphere geared toward diners who prize discovery and a focused, reservation-driven evening.
Best For
This is a destination best suited to evening meals—dinner service anchors the experience. The Ivory Peacock sits among Manhattan’s premium dining options, making it a natural choice for date nights and business dinners where a composed, restaurant-centric evening matters. Its location and format also accommodate later-night visits within Flatiron’s busy corridor. With signature items such as ivory chicken, peking duck croquettes and oysters on the roster, the menu favors sharing and tasting-driven plates that work well for two or small groups seeking a composed, memorable meal.
Ordering Tips
Booking strategy matters here: the venue’s public profile is thin, with no listed phone number or confirmed website in directories, so reservations can be opaque. Plan ahead and expect limited online information; check reservation platforms and be ready to move quickly when a window appears. On the menu, prioritize the standout items—ivory chicken, peking duck croquettes and oysters—since they are cited as signature dishes. Given the tighter room and premium positioning, aim for an early reservation and allow time for a deliberate, sit-down dinner rather than a quick stop.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Flatiron
Against The Grey Dog, Flatiron, The Ivory Peacock reads as the more occasion-oriented choice. The Grey Dog is the safer casual fallback for an easy meal; The Ivory Peacock is the better fit when the room and night-out feel matter more than pure utility.
Towa is the clearer pick for diners who want a defined Japanese $$$ meal and are comfortable choosing around that category. The Ivory Peacock is less cuisine-led from the available details, so it works better for mixed groups that need central Manhattan and a flexible plan. INDAY and Mista Oh are stronger cross-shops when the priority is a more specific food lane rather than a polished celebration setting.
Mamazul belongs in the same practical decision set for a social night out. Choose The Ivory Peacock when easy booking and Flatiron convenience carry the decision; choose one of the peers when cuisine clarity or a more casual price signal is the priority.
