Went for Father's day. We had the buffet, nice selection. Bloody Mary and grapefruit mimosa were outstanding. Juices were very tasty and fresh. Service was great, very attentive, William was our server. Next time I will order off the menu, saw some of the dishes going by and they looked delish. Beautiful view. We'll be nice in the Fall out on the patio for happy hour. Will definitely be back. read more

Unpretentious and comfortable!!!! Great food concept and laid back atmosphere!!!! Amazing views and an incredible option when dining at a Four Seasons' restaurant and you want a casual evening!!!! read more

Wait-was this at the Four Seasons? Like the service oriented great hotel brand? You could never have guessed it by the service at this place. Did they forget to train the staff at this place, especially the hostesses? It was the second time we tried this place. The first time was a week or two after it opened. So I made a reservation via open table, 1 week in advance. Just for 2. They called me (from the actual restaurant) 1 day before to confirm my reservation. We show up, oh sorry, we have no reservation listed. Plus the hostess with nervous energy let us wait while she straightened papers to sort out the problem. Like really? I did explain, I got a reminder via open table and a you guys actually called me. She said well, sometimes the computer messes up-you fare not in here, but we will find you a table. Whatever. The menu hasn't evolved, which is a shame. And who designed the menu??? A junior designer out of art school? Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. So then a get a call on my phone asking if I am still at the restaurant-because I left my credit card at the table. (this is while I am still eating and waiting for main courses). So explain this to me: How do you not have my reservation when I show up, but somehow you found me in your reservation pile located in the deep crevices of your computer to call me, but didn't realize I was eating at your restaurant. And this is the hostess calling me. So anyway-we did get a nice sunset view but I think we are done trying out this place. Is it that hard to get decent restaurant service training? Especially for hostesses? read more

I used to like this place a lot but it the quality has diminished in the recent past. The food is still OK... but very over priced for the quality. My most recent meal there was almost tasteless... as were the meals of several of my companions. Service is very good. Views are still great. read more

Visited Proof for a weekend breakfast for something new. The experience was a huge disappointment. I have to say the staff was attentive and very polite, but that's where anything good ended. The brunch buffet was recommended and wasn't on the menu, so we tried it. The buffet turned out to be what I might expect at Denny's, but not quite that good. A crowed omelette station and the normal, bacon, sausage, potatoes, with a couple other items. I had an omelette with bacon and sausage. All were mediocre at best. The biggest disappointment was when I got the check. $71. For two buffets that could be gotten anywhere for under twenty dollars. After I picked myself off the floor and paid the bill, I vowed to scratch Proof off the list from any future visits. read more

I couldn't love this place more! Fun and romantic - a combination not easy to find and the fried green tomatoes were incredible. Add a few craft cocktails and the view of Pinnacle Peak? Sign me up. read more

This place seems to be schizophrenic. Looks like a rustic, relaxed bar & eatery, with an overpriced menu with fancy foods. Just doesn't fit together. The hostess & waitstaff uniforms are more shabby hillbilly than cowboy shiek. The staff is attentive & friendly. The food is way overpriced & just so so. Nothing we had would we want to repeat. Hubby had hamburger. I had pork tenderloin. My servings were slight & just not visually attractive. Should have been served with a magnifying glass! And for $27 it was way too pricey. The ketchup served with the fries was awful! Why would they want to ruin a good French fries with a tomato chemical shit storm?? We had to request regular, which they brought to the table. This was our 4th & last visit to this place. Just not good enough for a do over! If we ever return it will be for the pretzel knots. read more

In the far northeast corner of Scottsdale sits a Four Season Resort, with fabulous views of Pinnacle Peak and the surrounding mountains. Their "casual" restaurant (serves breakfast, lunch and dinner) is the Proof Canteen. We had a dinner there the other night, with heaters blasting to ward off the evening chill. While the prices were not "cheap," (hey, this is the Four Seasons, remember?), they were not at a level that would cause you to take out a second mortgage or a payday loan. I was in carvnivore mode so ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries. My lovely bride, in full carnivoress mode, ordered the meatloaf. Each of these was $21 and a full menu of craft beers from Arizona sources, plus various wines and cocktails was available at reasonable prices. Our only debate was whose entree was better. I will get the meatloaf next time, but the burger was right up there with ones you would get at a place like the Capital Grill. The appetizer menu looked attractive also, but we wisely decided we likely could not add appetizers to our repast without carting home a boatload of doggie bags. We shared a dessert of Triple Layer Chocolate Toffee Crumble Cake, a bit of heaven for a chocaholic. The only sad note is that we were too late to catch the sunset, which we were told are often sublime. We look forward to a return visit for breakfast and/or brunch, as a number of those items looked fantastic. You do need reservations for dinner, but coming after 8 p.m., the place was not crowded. The inside of the restaurant had loads of TVs, so I now know where I want to be for March Madness! read more

Delicious food--no question. The way the waiters sneakily make you believe certain sides come with the meal at the listed price--not so great. I shouldn't be asked if the upcharged side was okay as if it was part of the meal and then not be warned until I got the bill. I don't like feeling duped. It's been real, Proof. Ya won't see me back. read more

Very attentive service throughout the facility. If you get there within a half hour of when the breakfast buffet closes; don't recommend ordering as we observed certain dishes (salmon; specialty French toast) not being refreshed and everything is cleared post haste right at closing time. Not a big deal for us as we were not considering the buffet. Lunch for price was very average. My Reuben was sloppily put together, the meat very fatty, the onion rings (an extra priced replacement for the usual side) had dry, doughy spots on the coating. The top bun on another of our diner's burger was dry but the rest was tasty. Chicken sandwich was enjoyed with no complaints by our guest. Oh yes, we all raves about the pickle slices on our sandwiches! Water glasses were never empty and coffee pot always checked. Might give it another try since my partner and guest had been there previously with no concerns but I won't make a special trip. read more

Hands down the best in Scottsdale, especially on Friday night when Dell Morris smokes a meat special. BTW, the Leemann Sazerac is fabulous!

I have been chef for 20 years and I only write reviews if a place is really good or really bad. This was both. Decor and waitstaff were good, but I can not get past the food poisoning we all got. It was the only meal we all shared upon arriving in Arizona on different flights, times, and airlines. We all had dinner together and the next day were were all extremely ill from top to bottom. Called the restaurant and was given the run around... as if I don't work in the industry and know how food poisoning occurs. We all had the same symptoms, sick at the same time, and were layed up for an entire day of my vacation. I would expect more from a four seasons...no compensation made and a memorable experience. read more

This restaurant is awesome. We live in the neighborhood and go there 2x weekly. The food is delicious....service is really great..we're regulars of course And they treat us that way! Try the ginger mule drink and you'll have 2 or 3! We've had everything on the menu and you can't go wrong. We take guests all the time and they love the patio and views. The old restaurant here was bad...very bad, but Proof is a hit. read more

Upon our arrival, I was afraid that Proof would be one of those places that is overly expensive and the servings would be meager. Boy, was I wrong! Not only were the portions plentiful but actually a great deal for the price! We ordered the duck fries (their take on poutine) which was enough food for 4-5 people. We also ordered the Chop and Pop salad which was so interesting with the popcorn. My husband and I shared the 1/2 portion of the beer can chicken. My husband loved it and I would have too except my chicken (dark meat) was a little dry. Finally for my drink, I ordered the Clint Eastwood which is one of their creations. The waitress served it by pouring it into a snifter and there was smoke rising from it! One of the most delicious smoky drinks I've ever had!!! On top of all that, the view of the sunset over the mountains just made it a perfect meal. read more

Had a wonderful Friday night meal seated at the corner of the lower patio overlooking the resort, mountains, and city lights to the south. The service was spot on, very helpful, and I plan on returning many times in the future read more

First off, I cannot even express our gratitude for such a wonderful experience celebrating our grandfather's 84th birthday tonight. He really enjoyed the restaurant and dining (and drinking) under the stars in such a beautiful setting. Everything at this restaurant is well thought out and unique. From the smokey (potent!) Clint Eastwood cocktail to the sweet and savory Chicken and Waffles with a kick, we were blown away. More so, the service was the best the valley has to offer. Tony took excellent care of us, to the point where we felt like he was celebrating with us. I wish he could've joined us! Thank you so very much for treating us like we were part of the Proof family. We will definitely be back. read more

I was expecting higher quality food for the almost insane price that they charged us. I was really hoping that it would be well worth the cost but, trust me when I say it wasn't. Although their pretzel knots were delightful, they were a bit greasy. I can certainly order a better batch at culinary dropout whom I don't give care much for either. The portions were too small. The food was average at most. Nothing stood out to us. Service was okay, nothing too outstanding. It was slow although there weren't too much customers in. Oh well, I guess you will just have to try and see for yourself. read more

I had an anniversary dinner here on July 4. All foods were great. Service was excellent ! Manager comes to every table to make sure everything is fine. Thank you very much for the perfect evening:) read more

This is disappointing , could be so much better, food C , for a lovely hotel , can't they offer food -dinner earlier in the day? Also quality could be better. read more

Epic about sums it up. This is the more casual restaurant at The Four Seasons resort. The views of Pinnacle Peak are unmatched and the food is also incredible. The burger is simply off the charts. but then again, with deep fried Nueske bacon and bourbon molasses carmelized onions how can you wrong? read more

Came to Scottsdale for the 4th of July weekend. Third night here and couldn't find a really good spot to brag about. We thought proof would be a top notch little hidden place, I'm sad to say this place was disappointed us as well. We orders some beers and the sun devil mule, which were great. The butcher board was fabulous. As we go on with the entrees we were left disappointed. We tried the "exceptional" waffle and chicken. The chicken was too salty and tasted like old chicken. The waffle was not tasty, it came out soggy and fell flat. We then order the super food salad with steak. The salad was okay although the dressing was too runny. The steak was okay was nicely spiced. We then ended the night with some ice cream, they claimed was hand crafted. The ice cream tasted like store brought ice cream. The service was 5 stars too bad the quality of the food fell short. Really thought this place was going to be a hit. read more

Proof - Butcher board. Sun Devil Mule. Beer served in a beaker. - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Awesome food, awesome place, awesome people. Wow. I love the food. We had a very nice 7 year anniversary lunch a couple weeks ago. Thank you. I will tell my friends. Toni & David oh yes, Toni was our waiter, very nice always offering to get us more hummus, or root beer. Very nice read more

A solid three stars. You can go to Chilis and have a better meal. Slow service. Forgot items. Slow. Once the food came out it was bad. Bbq sandwich - terrible. Cobb salad with shrimp - terrible. Sound reverberated from inside to out. Smelled like a dirty ashtray. I want my time and money back. read more

We've eaten at Proof probably 10 times over the past two years (clustered in a few trips). We've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there multiple times. We've never once had a less than great experience. The food is always solid, the drinks are well-made, and the service is friendly and efficient. The one item we ALWAYS have to get is the pretzel knots. Everything else we've tried has been good, but it's the pretzel knots that keep us coming back. read more

Stay away from $19.00 burger. Expected something amazing and was served a ho-hum ordinary burger. #underwhelmed.

We had a great dinner here. Service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The pretzel knots were recommended by other yelp reviews and they did not disappoint! Highly recommend - also the chicken and waffles were so appetizing. We also had the onion rings and they were a-mazing! It was raining when were there so we missed the incredible views but we will be back!!! read more

I wish we'd had a better experience because it is very near our house, but...while we liked the food and wine, the staff here really wouldn't cut it at any of the other Four Seasons we've visited. We arrived a little after 5 p.m. and there were only a handful of people in the place. After being ignored by the hostess, who was on the phone...and who then took yet another call while we waited...another hostess finally came by to help, informing us that we could sit at a table in the dining room "as long as you're out by 7"...now I know the tables might be reserved, but the lack of tact was not the Four Seasons as we know it! Other than that, there was a lot to like. Our waiter was very competent. The house pinot noir is lovely. The lobster devilled eggs were our favorite, but we also liked the short rib bites. The duck fries weren't as good as we'd expected -- not enough duck meat. If they ditch the women who staff the hostess stand or invest in some staff training, we'd probably be back -- especially in the winter when you can sit on the patio and enjoy fab views. read more

We had friends in town for the weekend and decided to take them to Proof for dinner and drinks since our first experience there had been so great. The second time did not disappoint! We started with a round of appetizers that included the pretzels with cheese, fried green tomatoes and the off-menu fried pickles. GET THE PICKLES!!! For our main courses 2 of us shared the lobster roll with the most amazing onion rings, 2 others shared the beer can chicken, a burger with fried bacon! was enjoyed by another and lastly one ordered the chicken and waffles that comes with candied bacon brittle, house made hot sauce that was so good I wish they bottled and sold it and a syrup that he said was also very good. We couldn't leave without ordering a few desserts to share. The table ordered the turtle cheesecake, the cookies and cream shake and a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. The turtle cheesecake and shake were awesome and the ice cream was very creamy and tasted great. The chef came out as we were finishing to ask us what we thought of our meal. He was so nice and genuinely wanted to know how our experience was. We will be taking all of our out of town guests here to experience the fun, laid back atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service and amazing views! read more

Do not come here if you want good service. My wife and I decided to come here for dinner tonight and we left afer 15min and went to SASSI instead. First the hostess did no greet us when we walked and looked very flustered, there was only one party in front of us and the place was not busy. Then they tried to stick us with the table next to the kitchen although other tables were available so we refused and moved to a different table. Then we sat for 10min and no one came to us to offer water or get our order. People sat behind us got their drinks so we left. So much for Four Seasons quality of service ..... read more

If you are looking for brunch, lunch or happy hour with good tastes and a view, go to Proof. This place overlooks Pinnacle Peak, plays great music and has an amazing indoor/outdoor ambiance. Order the Bloody Mary and Green Chile Pork Benedict. read more

Very disappointed in the Chicken Parm. Chicken was tough and had a dark unappealing look underneath the cheese. Pizza was great . Service was excellent. After contacting manager on phone the next day to express my dissatisfaction, she assured me she'd call me back. No call. I followed up for 2 more consecutive days and spoke to 2 other managers who were also unhelpful. read more

Been sitting here for 20mins and still haven't met our server. LOL. If ambience is your #1 motivator look no further than PROOF Canteen. If you're actually hungry you will get better service at Chilis. Hopefully the food turns out okay. #NoConfidence Update: Manager Kelesey took care of us. We appreciated his understanding of the situation. Also the smoked babe sandwhich is pretty fantastic. read more

Fun atmosphere that you would not expect would be so not intimidating for such a posh hotel. Not normally my type of hang out but was pleasantly surprised when I met my relatives for breakfast. My BLT with fried egg was not cooked to my liking but the manager quickly had the kitchen remake and then they took my meal off the bill which was unnecessary, but much appreciated. Next time family is in town I will make sure we return! Looks like a fun spot for happy hour ! read more

Went to Proof in the Four Seasons last night for the first time. It is billed as a "canteen" with comfort food from America. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing. Great selection of craft beers. The menu is most eclectic with selections that include AZ Gumbo, Beer Can Chicken, and Chicken and Waffles. While the food is interesting some of the mixtures seemed forced. read more

We always enjoyed going to Proof but our last 2 visits, one was breakfast and this time for dinner we were disappointed. The view is all that it really has going for it. The service is friendly but still not up to Four Seasons standards. The menu has changed and now has fewer options. My fried chicken and waffles were tasty as was my husband's meatloaf. Both were very filling. The cauliflower side was delicious. But our biggest "Yuck" moment was when my husband got 1/2 down on his beer to realize stuck to the inside of his glass was a long blonde hair. When the manager approached he told him, showed him the hair and they did bring him a new beer but made as if it was no big deal. Doubt we will go back. read more

This place is awesome! We've been at the Four Seasons for one day and have already eaten at Proof twice. Having visited FS Scottsdale since 2003, we found Crescent Moon to be decent. However, Proof has proven to be wonderfully fresh and modern. The Chop and Pop truly stands out. The B.L.A.T.T sandwich was incredible!! Dessert was delicious. The drink menu, thorough. plus, service has been friendly and efficient. I'm so happy we're here for another 5 days so we can try more of the menu. read more

We had breakfast at Proof today. Our server Grace was very helpful and attentive. Our coffee was never empty. Thanks Grace!! My husband order the Pork Green Chili Benedict and I ordered the Blue Corn Pancakes. Both of these dishes were fabulous. We already know what we are going to try on our next visit. I hope Grace will be working. We will definitely ask for her! Grace also gave us a Punch The Pig Card. Nice to go to a restaurant that gives something back. The atmosphere is very cool. I love the floor lamps between the tables. There were other staff member that stopped by to ask how everything was and the man that brought our food out was very nice as well. Great place! Great food! Great service! read more

Just came back for breakfast and had the Huevos Rancheros and holy cow, mind re-blown!!! This place keeps getting better.

In my entire life, I have NEVER felt more ripped off than last night at this place. Now I realize it's at The Four Seasons, and all that may entail - but you gotta be kidding me? Dinner for 8 - 4 burgers, 2 chicken sandwiches and 2 BBQ chicken dinners - 6 drinks and 2 glasses of wine ) oh...and one order of chips and salsa - and the bill was $630! I have dined (and enjoy fine dining) all over the world...and suffice it to say - overpaid plenty at many, many venues. But this one - now - takes the cake - for the most outrageous. Yes it's a pleasant atmosphere, and yes, the server(s) were fine - (although the SERVICE ITSELF was pain-stakedly slow - and it was NOT busy AT ALL...) but, seriously - why would ANYONE not staying there, dine there? I knew something was amiss when we were checking in at 6:30 for our 7 o'clock reservation - and a woman in front of us asked for a table, just for her. The place WAS EMPTY inside - and not very crowded outside either, and the hostess actually asked this poor woman if she had a reservation? When she said she did not - she literally told her to step to the side and she would "see what she could do." The place, WAS EMPTY...and trust me - no one was coming to fill the tables. It was rude, and uncalled for. We should've gone to Mastro's - and enjoyed ourselves with WAY BETTER food, service and circus - for less money than we spent on "nothing special" burgers and chicken. read more

Went for dinner tonight. Good food, good view, GREAT service. Fawn made the night enjoyable. She was very accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. 10 stars for Fawn!!!! read more
