    The food was great. It is a smaller space with a nice ambiance. The service has been excellent all three times that we’ve been there. Highlights: Squash blossoms 9/10 Truffle arancini 8/10 Miso cod 6.5/10 (needed more sauce or longer to marinate) Braised short rib rolled lasagna 10/10 (always a hit) Panna cotta 9/10 (and I’m not even a fan of that type of dessert but it was very good) Sticky toffee pudding 9/10 (delish) I can’t wait for them to get their liquor license for hard alcohol and to make some good cocktails.

    Excellent! Service on point! Food delicious! As a vegan it’s always a gamble when dining out at restaurants that are not fully vegan. Prose definitely impressed!! Per our waiter’s recommendation I ordered the black garlic charred tofu and off menu roasted beet salad with a delicious vegan cheese, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. Crossing my fingers that they add the salad to their permanent menu :-)

    Hi Anita, Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the charred tofu and the off-menu beet salad — our team loves creating special moments like this, and it means a lot to know it resonated with you. We'll definitely share your feedback with the kitchen about the salad. Hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience at Prose! Warmly, The Prose Team
