   The food is really disappointing. The octopus was so greasy and with so much oregano that I could barely taste it. The steak tartare didn’t even seem to be raw, tasted so bad. Worst old fashioned I’ve ever had. Even the bison burger was bland, and the fries made me miss Mc Donald’s. Can’t overstate it - really disappointing food. Even worse considering their price point.

We take your comments seriously, especially regarding the octopus, steak tartare, and cocktails, as well as the overall value you felt was lacking. This isn’t the standard we strive for, and we’ll be discussing your review with our culinary and bar teams to ensure we're addressing these concerns directly. Thank you again for the honest feedback. -Proof On Main

   Don’t go during an “experience” - save your money and go during normal operating times.

   Hi Robert, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the “experience” event didn’t meet your expectations. We design these events to offer something unique, but we understand they’re not for everyone. We appreciate your suggestion and hope you’ll consider visiting us again during regular hours—we’d love the chance to provide you with a more enjoyable visit. -Proof On Main

   We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was Joey, and at first, he was perfect. He patiently answered all our questions and brought water and drinks right away. All the good things stopped there. If the menu says "bison burger," would you expect it to be made with bison? The mushroom appetizer was only 40% mushrooms. The bison burger turned out to be 50% bison and 50% ground beef. It tasted like a hamburger! Another person brought our food and we never saw Joey again until he brought the check we had to ask for. NO ONE checked on our food quality or if we were enjoying it. Very disappointed.

   Hi Neil, Thank you for your feedback, and I'm truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. While we’re glad you received a warm welcome and great service at first, it’s clear we fell short in several important areas—from the clarity of our menu to follow-through with service. We sincerely apologize for any confusion around the bison burger and the mushroom appetizer. We aim to be transparent and consistent with our ingredients, and your comments will be shared with our kitchen and management team for review. As for the service lapse, that’s not the level of attentiveness we strive for, and we’ll be addressing that directly with our staff. We’d love the opportunity to make things right if you’re willing to give us another try. -Proof On Main

   Brunch was not impressive by any means. All around a bad experience from ambiance to service to food quality and presentation.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Joseph. We're truly sorry to hear that your brunch experience didn’t meet expectations—from the ambiance to the service and food quality. That’s certainly not the standard we strive for, and we understand how disappointing that must have been. We’re committed to growing and doing better and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. -Proof On Main

   Service was great but server didn’t allow a taste of wine before serving because it was screw top. She over poured wine as well. I am a sommelier….
   

   Proof on MainResponded on April 28, 2025

   Thank you for your feedback John, and for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear the service overall was great, but we're sorry to learn about the issue with the wine service. We respect your background as a sommelier and understand how important proper wine presentation is. While screw-top wines can sometimes be perceived differently, we agree that offering a taste and pouring with care should always be part of the experience. We'll use your feedback to reinforce our training and ensure we’re meeting the expectations of all our guests. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide the flawless service you deserve. -Proof On Main

    Proof never disappoints! We were so glad to be back in Louisville for a weekend and had to dine at our favorite restaurant in town. The risotto was off the charts and of course the charred octopus is a must have. Such a cool space and the decor is so wonderful. If it’s a special occasion or just a night out Proof is the place. Grab a cocktail and stroll the museum while you are there, you will be glad you did.

    Thank you so much for the amazing review Drew! We're honored to be your go-to spot in Louisville and so glad you made us part of your weekend visit. It’s wonderful to hear the risotto and charred octopus hit the mark—two of our favorites as well! We're thrilled you enjoy the space, the art, and the overall experience. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, we love being part of your time in the city. Can’t wait to welcome you back on your next trip! -Proof On Main
