Smoked 1/2 chicken
Amelia Z.

Absolutely outstanding meal. I'm usually underwhelmed with resort food; Proof certainly changed my mind with that opinion. We're foodies who love to cook, especially smoked meats. I'm always hesitant when a menu says smoked as it's usually artificial smoke or grilled. The smoked half chicken was phenomenal, great flavor, moist and juicy. It wasn't spicy to me despite the "Arizona hot sauce", very subtle. The charred vegetables were excellent, I couldn't believe it was kale. Carrot purée was the perfect complement. Our server Ema was so patient and attentive and personable. Such a great start to our vacation! American pub style ambiance, at the Four Seasons. We dined inside as the weather was cool but they do have heat patio seating.

Pretzel knots
Kristen L.

The food has improved a lot in 6 years. We stopped by for dinner and ordered the pretzel knots, salad, and short ribs. The knots were just as good as we remember. Soft and sweet, and pairs great with the cheese dipping sauce. The short ribs were very tender. Our last trip here we were unimpressed with the meat--it was tough and dry. So, we were pleasantly surprised with how good the short ribs were. We would gladly return to Proof on our next visit.

We came for happy hour drinks and some food before our departing flight. The food was all raved about by our other guests that had all been here before. They raved about the appetizers and burgers. I had the burger which was possibly one of the best burgers I have ever had - juicy, well seasoned, perfectly toasted bread, good sauces that didnt overwhelm. The staff was great. Our party knew the head chef and he was so friendly and kind when he came to visit our table. The waiter also helped us pick a lovely dessert for my husband's birthday - it was a chocolate mousse dessert shaped as a cactus desert landscape with all elements edible. Absolute perfection! And all flavored like smore's. The restaurant is large but cozy and the perfect casual dining spot located on the property. Would definitely return for the food and friendly staff!

Here's the ugly truth: the food was excellent -- my avocado toast was flawless -- but excellence stops mattering when the service makes you feel like a trespasser in the hotel you're actually paying to stay in. We walked in casually dressed (because, hello, it's breakfast, not a gala), and before we could sit down, we were asked to prove we belonged by showing our room keys. That's not hospitality, that's humiliation. And then, with a dining room barely 10-15% full at 11:00 a.m. on a Sunday, we weren't seated in the elegant space that sells the Four Seasons dream -- we were dumped in the service area like second-class citizens. This isn't "luxury." This is a bait-and-switch where your money is good enough, but you aren't. On the very Sunday of Charlie Kirk's funeral, a day already carrying grief, we were treated with suspicion and disregard. Four Seasons likes to brand itself as a sanctuary of dignity, but dignity doesn't come with a side of shame. Asking paying guests to prove they belong is the opposite of luxury -- it's profiling with table service. A restaurant at 15% capacity doesn't seat you in Siberia unless they want you to feel small. If this is hospitality, then I'm the Queen of Egypt. You don't pay Four Seasons prices to be treated like you're crashing breakfast at a Holiday Inn. Food won't save an experience when respect is stripped at the door. We belong here, we paid to be here, and this hotel forgot that. Two Stars (and only because the avocado toast had more class than the service).

The views are amazing so if that's what you are going for, great! The service was good and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The food is where the restaurant lacks. We ordered a salad and it was dry and the chicken was overcooked. The server was nice enough to split it for us so we could share, but it was very dry. Did I mention it was dry? It would've been nice to have more, or any, dressing to help it go down. Now on to dessert. The reason we came was for the saguaro cactus dessert. It's a very cute presentation, but the flavors just aren't that special. Don't make the trip for the dessert.

This was my first experience at Proof- we came for a little lunch with the kiddos. I'm a nanny and I accompanied the family I work with. It was a pleasant experience for the most part- the ambiance is lovely and it's beautifully decorated. The restaurant was very rustic in theme and we were seated on the patio to admire the views! Our littles enjoyed the appetizers of guacamole & chips... We had salads and soups- they were freshly prepared and quite good. The soup I had- pumpkin squash was a disappointment...not much flavor. Our service was attentive and very friendly. I just figured for a Four Seasons- I would have been more impressed. It was marginal for the price- I'm willing to try it again- because it was lovely!

The food was delicious, and the ambiance was beautiful and peaceful. Customer service was okay, though a bit slow.

Cheese burger, sub beef patty for meatless patty, and fries.
Savannah C.

mid vegan burger. Does do well in a pinch when you've been in Texas for the past five days and the term "meat substitute" doesn't exist. Had breakfast here the next day. Cold brew coffee was absolutely delicious. Again the food was good but could've been better.

Queso Fundido (oaxaca cheese, pepperjack, cotija cheese, apple jalapeno jam, blue corn tortilla chips)
Sarah A.

Very much enjoyed our evening at Proof: lovely space, both inside and out, with terrific views, and solid, friendly service. Highly recommend starting as our table of 3 did, with: - Proof Knots (house made pretzel, spicy cheese sauce)--that sauce is addictive! - Chips Guacamole & Salsa (blue corn tortilla chips, charred molcajete salsa, jalapeno & cilantro guacamole)--salsa was smoky and spicy and the guac was creamy and delicious! - Queso Fundido (oaxaca cheese, pepperjack, cotija cheese, apple jalapeno jam, blue corn tortilla chips)--what's better than melty cheese? - Nico's Tuna Tostada (mango leche de tigre, tuna, sesame togarashi vinaigrette, quinoa pop, fresno peppers, baby tomato)--fresh and oh-so-flavorful...could have had a few more plates of this! We then shared the Smoker Trio (smoked pulled pork, sherry maple glazed pork belly, apple gouda sausage), which was good, but didn't have the pizzazz of the starters. If I'd known about the desserts on offer, I would've saved more room--specifically the s'mores sundae with marshmallow ice cream...if only I didn't live so far away!

Half chicken
Michelle M.

The best half chicken I've ever had. The carrot purée was perfection and the chile sauce topped it off. I would come back just for this dish.

Are they pet friendly?

I don't believe they are. Just allow service dogs.

Do they have a brunch buffet on Sundays?

They do have a brunch on Sunday's, both a buffet and menu to order off of. They do walk in basis and you seem to get faster service and questions answered if you call their direct number rather than calling the main desk st the Four Seasons.

Absolutely amazing do not let the portion sizes for you. They look small, but the bowls are deep. I…read moream absolutely stuffed. I started with a blueberry mule mocktail and it was perfection and then I had the small side salad made with carrots, cucumbers, and spring mix and lemon vinaigrette, and it was my favorite I've ever had and then I finished with the Bolognese that has a cream sauce that is to die for. Best Bolognese in town in my opinion. The staff was more than accommodating. I showed up in my work attire, definitely not dressed for this restaurant and from the hostess all the way to my server and bartender and everyone treated me with the upmost respect. They moved me to a better table, and for the inconvenience gave me another mocktail. This is absolutely my favorite absolutely 100% amazing. How anybody wouldn't like it with baffle me you have to go.

We've given this spot a few tries now and it just has not hit for us. The first time we went was…read moreactually great. We loved Mora so we decided to try its sister restaurant, the Americano. This was years ago, before the speakeasy existed. I remember we were greeted at the table with glasses of champagne. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. We had one of the best desserts of our lives. 10/10 first impression. We went back maybe a year later after the speakeasy was built in, and it seemed like all their attention went to that instead. They were out of a bunch of dishes on the menu. I remember we all got our food except for my husband and we finally had to ask the server what was going on with his dish and that's when they told us they were out of that dish he had ordered too. They offered to make something else on the house, but at this point we were all almost done with our food so he ended up with nothing. They did try to make it right, I'll give them that, but it was a weird experience. We decided to give the restaurant one last try for my mom's birthday over the weekend and it solidified our opinions on this place. First of all, it's EXPENSIVE. I get it's Scottsdale but they are trying way too hard with $80 ribeyes and $1500 bottles of wine, but not giving you anything for it. Don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy an expensive meal when I feel it's warranted. The food, service, details need to go above and beyond to justify my $500+ tab. That's just not the case here. The server didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Didn't even offer a birthday dessert? We ordered salads before our meals and our entrees showed up two minutes later. My sister had her leftover pasta boxed up and they never brought it back. She asked about it and they said they could fire her a new one, but we were ready to go at this point. These are not issues you should be having at an upscale restaurant at this price point. After all this, we won't be returning. There are much better restaurants at lesser price points that offer amazing food with above and beyond experience. Everyone try Restaurant Progress instead!
