My son and I had dinner at the Proof Bar & Patio before attending a performance at Koerner Hall. The restaurant had a nice quiet ambiance. The service was good. I had the steak dinner which was excellent.

Always have a good time going here. However I find that the price is a bit much per person considering most times it’s not busy at all. Service I always great and the staff is friendly, food could use some improvement especially for thr cost. I’d love to see a scenario where the price you pay to get in is where your food and bar tab come out of first. Then everything above and beyond that is paid for.
