    Lunch menu was quite heavy, dishes felt oily, spicy for June afternoon. 1st waiter forgot requests, missed our table a few times (tried to get his attention) until other female waiters took over service. Then the bill arrived with extra fee for credit card transaction! And to top it: final tax on bill that includes that sur charge! That was quite a disappointing ending….

    Hi Yana, Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m sorry the experience didn’t land the way we intended. We’re reviewing both service flow and how our lunch menu feels during warmer afternoons. Just to clarify: there’s no fee on debit or cash—only credit cards, and that’s noted on the menu and check to avoid surprises. That said, I understand it can still feel frustrating. If you’re open to giving us another shot, I’d love the chance to make it right. — Chef David & the Prose team

    I really liked Gasolina so when Prose opened, I made sure to go asap to support the new owners. I had the short rib lasagna and my partner had the pasta with Vodka sauce. Both were delicious, but very rich. The menu has the basics: chicken, pasta, fish, or beef with their own spin on each, but nothing jumped out as OMG I have to try that! I wanted to try the Sea Bass but at a price point of $65 for a piece of fish, it was a hard pass. Prices like that are going to be tough to justify for a place without a good vibe, and bar, and better menu choices.

    Hi Leslie, Thank you for visiting and supporting us early on—it means a lot. We’re proud to bring a chef-driven restaurant to the Valley with high-quality ingredients and real hospitality. Chilean sea bass is one of the most expensive proteins on the market, and our price reflects that. That said, our Miso-Glazed Black Cod at $41 is a guest favorite and a great alternative. Our full liquor license is on the way, and we’re excited to expand the bar program soon. We’d love to know more about what didn’t land on the ambiance side—our team puts a lot of care into creating a warm, stylish space. Hope to welcome you back again soon. — Team Prose

    An outstanding neighborhood restaurant that can also be a destination restaurant. Service was attentive and warm and the food matches the hype. The hamachi ceviche is among the best around and chive biscuits are worth the indulgence. Our squash blossom for the table was gone before we finished our first glass of wine! PMain dishes are large portions and beautifully presented.

    It’s a cute restaurant, great service, good food. Doesn’t have a full bar just wine and beer. Food was good no complaints really just a tad pricey. Casalena seems affordable compared to these prices on my opinion.
    Prose Kitchen & BarResponded on June 6, 2025
    Hi Alma, Thanks so much for the kind words about our team and space. We appreciate your feedback on pricing—every dish is crafted with premium ingredients and care, but we understand value is subjective. We’ll take your note to heart as we continue refining the experience. Hope to welcome you back soon! Warmly, Team Prose
