    Absolutely fantastic! My husband and I took a stroll with a friend in the Battlefield and decided to grab a brunch locally. We discovered this wonderful spot in Yelp with a high rating. And now we are eager to return soon! Upon entering, we were struck by the classic and romantic atmosphere. Our server, Drew provided us with outstanding service and an excellent recommendation. Most importantly, everything we had was delicious! I truly love this place and am certainly interested in coming back, whether for a date night or perhaps for a gathering with close friends.

    I've been hearing about Proof Kitchen for a while and finally made it in for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very cozy atmosphere perfect for a date or a small group. The food was the highlight. We started with the pork belly lollipops, crispy frickles, and the crab Rangoon dip, all of which were excellent. I had the pepperoni flatbread, and my husband really enjoyed the veggie burger; he noted it was well-seasoned with a great texture. The only downside was the seating. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait about 10 minutes. The host offered us a couch area with a low coffee table to avoid a longer wait. We took it so we could eat sooner, and while there was plenty of room for the plates, eating from such a low table was a bit awkward. Overall, a great experience! Next time I'll definitely hold out for a proper dining table to enjoy the meal more comfortably.

    I've now visited Proof bow since they opened in May 2025 and the food has been great both times. The menu has a variety of cuisines, all of which are great. My favorite appetizers are the pork belly and the brussel sprouts. For entrees I've had the japchae and one of their burger. Their cocktails are appropriately priced and pretty good, though a bit on the smaller side. Service is attentive and friendly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and a great place for a meet-up or a nice dinner.

    Came in for brunch on a Saturday morning soon after they opened. When we got there it was dead, but by the time we left, the place was hopping and very lively! This is a BEAUTIFUL venue, with large chandeliers and modern, somewhat artsy furniture throughout. The brunch menu is a combo of their typical lunch menu plus a brunch menu, so there's plenty to choose from. Our server was really good and did a nice job keeping an eye on us. Everything we tried was excellent and they provided large portions too! The Reuben Egg Rolls were very tasty and the corned beef in there was excellent. The dipping sauce really topped these off perfectly too. I got their birria grilled cheese sandwich and WOW - that was a LOT of food! It was a huge sandwich with an amazing consommé which was flavorful and had fresh cilantro in it - great for dipping! We've been to Black Sheep several times and honestly, this place was so much better (yes, I know they're the same ownership, but both Black Sheep and Proof have been much better than my recent visits to Villagio in Clifton too, so it's possible that they seem to focus on one project more than another). Overall we really enjoyed this visit and most definitely look forward to returning for dinner to try more.

    The ambiance of this year old eatery is fantastic. The service was attentive and the food was amazing. Our mid day mid week visit was refreshing. Although late for our reservation we were seated without hesitation. Looking forward to our next visit.

    If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Dining here was an experience from the moment we walked in. The flavors were unlike anything I've ever tasted--thoughtfully crafted, bold, and perfectly balanced. I ordered the Bee Sting, a sensational cocktail made with Tito's vodka, honey syrup, and fresh lemon juice, along with the Fish and Chips, which were phenomenal--crispy, golden, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was layered with flavor in a way that truly sets this place apart. The ambience is simply exceptional--elegant yet inviting, with thoughtfully curated lighting and music that perfectly complements the dining experience. It creates a lively yet comfortable atmosphere where every moment feels special, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavors, the company, and the setting. Our waiter, Drew, elevated the entire experience. His knowledge of the menu was incredible. He walked us through the dishes, explained what flavors complemented each other, and made thoughtful recommendations that made the meal even more memorable. Service like that is rare. What also stood out was Sylvia. She was attentive to every guest in the room and you can genuinely see how much she cares--not just about the restaurant, but about the people experiencing it and the team working there. She goes above and beyond, and that kind of leadership creates something special. This restaurant is truly a gem. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere where you can feel the passion behind every detail. I can't wait to come back.

    Number one positive thing - easy parking!!! It does get packed when they have live music at the other venue, but even with that - we went on a Saturday night and there was still ample parking. You will have to make reservations a few weeks out if you you're looking for prime dinner time, on the weekends! Food was all delish - our favorite (and chicken isn't normally my favorite meat) was the hot chicken sandwich. Eat it while it's hot or else the bread starts to get hard. The service was great - our waiter was phenomenal and gave us helpful tips when ordering. I can't wait to come back!

    We came in during Valentine's hoping to get a seat at the bar and after a few minutes we found a spot. Service and staff were attentive and accommodating. The food was great along with the house mule. Saw many people getting flights which also looked intriguing. Tastings are done in the space next door. (Booking is advised due to space.) the space and ambience is lovely. We popped into the distillery portion and ended up walking away with a bottle.

    French Onion Soup
    Michelle M.

    I have visited Proof Kitchen and Bar twice since they opened. We are huge fans of Black Sheep and knowing that it was by the same peope behind Black Sheep, we were excited and had high expectations. First, the interiors are hands down the most beautiful restaurant interiors in the area (aside from Black Sheep). It can rival a fancy hotel lobby in a major city. The food is modern American - with inspirations from various cuisines. For appetizers, I have tried the Fries Sampler and Crab Rangoon Dip. For soup, we had the French Onion Soup and the She-Crab Soup. We also had the Truffled Mushroom Flatbread. I loved the Fries Sampler and we were impressed with the soups. The Flatbread was really delicious too! For entrees, we tried the Shepherd's Pie, Smoked Salmon, and Beef Bibimbap. All of them were delicious. However, one of the components of the bibimbap was slightly too salty. Not to miss are the cocktails. I love their espresso martini and my date likes their old-fashioned. As for the service, our servers have been fantastic each time we visited. It would be great if they know their menu better so customers would not be overwhelmed with the choices. Still, really impressive for a restaurant that just opened. I highly recomment this place to people who likes to have a cocktail (or two) with delicious food and those who don't mind spending a little more than usual for an awesome meal. I can't wait to come back!

    Everything!! That's what I liked about this place. The ambiance is classy casual, the three Tea Teaser drink was sooo good. Lots of layers, but still light and refreshing! Meatloaf was RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! Dylan was a great waiter and didn't steer us wrong!

    Mojito with MurLarkey ImaGINation gin
    Melanie S.

    We were a few minutes early, and had to wait. The front shop is cute. The restaurant is massive, and being mid-November, start of the holiday season, was packed. Our table was nice and clean; the lighting was a little dim; seats comfy. We were celebrating our son's 21st - and he forgot his ID! He ended up getting his mule without alcohol; they made me a mojito with their MurLarkey gin. Server was kind and attentive. We ended up with an extra dessert because he brought a free birthday one! The food was delicious! Hot, flavorful. We all left very full and very happy. Would def go back.

    This place has an undeniable aesthetic and something missing in that area. We visited Proof last Saturday in the early afternoon. The service was top tier, our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, responsive, and really on top of her job. Unfortunately, The food wasn't anything to write home to mom about, we were shocked it wasn't taster. We started our visit with the reuben egg rolls which were good. Then we had the conflicted sandwich and medium well proper proof burger. The burger came out well done and had minimal flavor and the meat in the conflicted sandwich was dry, but the sauce helped. The drinks were the highlight, so so delicious, we had the peach sage smash, blackberry sage smash, and the lavender lemon drop martini. The seating was super comfortable from leather to plush chairs and couches with a nice view. We look forward to coming back and trying the brunch menu and getting more creative and delicious drinks.

    Wonderful Sunday brunch experience at Proof Kitchen and Bar. My daughter made the reservations and mentioned that my husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Our server, Kenneth, was wonderful! He acknowledged our anniversary and gave us a beautiful anniversary card that was signed by the staff. The food was amazing, Kenneth gave us great food recommendations. The food, drinks, vibe and service were amazing.

    Finally crossed off my bucket list after a year of waiting--and it absolutely lived up to the…read morehype. We had a 3:45 dinner reservation and arrived a few minutes early. After checking in, we were quickly guided upstairs to a cozy, rounded booth--an intimate and perfect spot for two. Our server, Katie, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest when helping us choose between dishes. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes, paired with the Black Sheep Mule and a watermelon cocktail (wish I remembered the name!). For our mains, we ordered the short rib rigatoni and the steak bulgogi bowl. To finish, we shared the weekly dessert special: an Earl Grey tres leches. Everything was exactly what I hoped for and more. The starters were standout, the entrees were packed with flavor, and the overall aesthetic of the space was just beautiful. We'll definitely be back--next time for brunch!

    This review is long overdue as it was a really great experience! This was a birthday dinner for me…read moreback in January and I reserved the loft area for me and my girls to celebrate. It was also my first time at The Black Sheep but I had always heard wonderful things - all of which turned out to be true. The loft area is beautiful and overlooks the entire restaurant. Also when you reserve the loft, which holds up to 16 people, you order off the regular menu. I loved this as other places I checked into were much more restrictive with a higher minimum spend and fixed menus for groups larger than 8. We had 12 in our group. We started with a bunch of appetizers for the table and cocktails. Appetizers included the bacon tower, fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, crispy chicken wings, and Mediterranean garlic shrimp. Dinner entreés were jambalaya pasta, the American wagyu burger, pulled short rib rigatoni and branzino almondine. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed EVERYTHING!! The bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert literally took me over the top. My belly was ready to burst :) Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire time and everything we ordered came out perfect. I must go back soon. It is a distance from where I live but there's so many things on the fabulous menu I want to try.

We are from Seattle so thrilled for the Seahawks! They simply dominated this whole season and especially last night! Keep up the good work, boys! This place is very nice has lots of overhead tv with a large dance hall and prominent stage for bands to play. Service or lack their of a definite issue especially at checkout, I gave a good tip and I said thank you, the staff did not even acknowledge-we were so happy with our experience- both watching the game and the band-but definitely dampened by the unfriendly staff at checkout. What's with the ´titude? We did not order food. We ate at UJ before coming here. When we arrived-place was full-and then this nice gentleman offered to share the extra chairs in his table which was really kind-it did set the great mood & vibe but not by the staff workers but rather of the good patrons to this place-and yes, drinks my hubby had were pricey $24 each time, he was charged 8 drinks so not sure about that-oh well, it was a fun night-well worth game watching the Seahawks play against SF and seeing the Reflex at the same time! Simply overload of joy!

    I was in the vicinity to attend an event and stopped by this spot. Parking was plenty even though…read morethere are other businesses sharing the same lot. They serve beer, wine, cocktails and food. They also have darts in the back if you want to play. I tried one or two of the cocktails they had. You first have to get a Self Pour Card from the host along with providing your form of payment. You then go to the Cocktails bay, grab one of the glasses - they had many to choose from, tap your card (where it says "Tap Here" and then pull the lever to get the level of drink you want to get - the screen will show you the number of ounces you got and the total cost up to that point. I love it. I tried 2 cocktails (Beth's Green Hawaii and Sweet Apple Pie) as in getting a taste, but settled on one and both were good - I enjoyed the taste. I would check this spot out again, if in the area (seems like a chill place).
