   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….

   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

   Pre-theatre dinner for hubs and I. We enjoyed the crudo (6 delicious slices which we shared), the Bibb salad (one each, quite robust with a pleasant green goddess dressing) and then we diverged, hubs to the steak special and me to swordfish which was cooked perfectly, tender and not dry! Finished out with house made sorbet with roasted strawberries and aged balsamic vinegar which balanced beautifully with the sweetness of the sorbet. We love Proof and it never lets us down.

   Thank you so much, Kate, for this wonderful review! We're thrilled you and your husband enjoyed your pre-theatre dinner with us. From the crudo and Bibb salads to the steak special and perfectly cooked swordfish—it’s such a pleasure to hear everything hit the spot. And we're glad the house-made sorbet was a sweet ending to your evening! Your continued support truly means a lot to us. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Proof family and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon. -Proof On Main

    We had changed reservation times but ended up arriving earlier than originally set . Could be the reason we weren't visited by a waiter for 10 minutes. Our waiter turned out to be outstanding and very knowledgeable about drinks and food. The decor was eclectic and not conducive to a restful atmosphere. It was very loud but we could still converse. Pork chop was great as were the beets and bison burger. Swordfish and octopus were a bit overcooked. All in all it was a good experience

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Patrice! We’re so glad you enjoyed the pork chop, beets, and bison burger, and that your waiter provided excellent service. We apologize for the delay in getting to your table, and we’ll certainly work on improving wait times, especially with changes to reservation times. We also appreciate your notes on the decor and the overcooking of the swordfish and octopus — we’ll make sure to take those into account for future improvements. We’re happy to hear that overall, you had a good experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon! -Proof On Main
