    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

    The food was amazing. The service was also amazing. The chef was out in the restaurant talking to people and checking on everyone. The only thing negative I have to say is that the tables were very close together and the ones against the wall. We’re very small and also close together, but besides that I would definitely go back.

    Hi Jill, Thank you so much for the kind words—I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and service, and that we had a chance to connect in person. We truly appreciate your feedback about the table spacing; with our cozy layout, we’re always trying to balance comfort with creating an intimate vibe. That said, it’s something we’re continuing to refine. Hope to welcome you back again soon! – David, Chef/Owner

    Went for a business lunch and was perfect. Good food ambiance and felt appropriately professional but not just like a steak house

    Great and friendly service. Very attentive to their customers, which is refreshing these days. It's a small, quaint, very close to the elbows seating situation, so if you're not into people that much, you may want to go elsewhere, otherwise, it's a nice place with friendly staff and great food. A bit pricey, but if you want something special, definitely come and experience.

    Great food with a unique twist to the dishes. Even better is the customer service across the board - including chef and owner David who makes it a point to talk to all the customers. It makes for a very warm dining experience.

    So glad we have Prose in the area. What a beautiful space and the food is very good. The go to of course are the cheddar biscuits with a yummy butter/honey accompaniment. The spicy rigatoni, not overly spicy and perfect. The miso creamed spinach, something completely surprisingly amazing. Love Prose. Glad to have it nearby.

    Hi Natalie, Thank you so much for the kind words — we’re thrilled to be your new neighborhood go-to! The cheddar biscuits have definitely found their fan base, and we're so glad you enjoyed the spicy rigatoni and the miso creamed spinach — that one's quietly become a sleeper hit. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon! Warmly, The Prose Team
