    This was my second visit and brought a new friend. We both loved our dinner! The food was amazing, the service was fantastic! You have to try the Lemon Panna Cotta if you go.

    Hi Samantha, Thank you so much for your kind words—and for coming back with a friend! We’re thrilled to hear that both the food and service hit the mark again. And yes, that Lemon Panna Cotta is a sleeper favorite—we’re glad you loved it! We can’t wait to welcome you back for visit number three. Cheers, The Prose Team

    The food was quite good but it was very pricey considering that my husband and I shared a salad and a main course. The lobster roll was delicious but not very large for the price.
    Prose Kitchen & BarResponded 2 days ago
    Hi Cindy, Thank you for dining with us and for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the service and the flavors of the lobster roll! We understand your comments on portion size and pricing—it's something we’re actively evaluating as we continue refining our menu. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you and your husband back again soon for a more well-rounded experience. Warm regards, The Prose Team

    The food was all meh. Everything had one too many ingredients or was over sauced. Good service and friendly, but incredibly loud. Would not return.
    Prose Kitchen & BarResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Michael, Appreciate you coming in. We’re not for everyone, and that’s okay. Our food leans bold and expressive—layered flavors, sauces with purpose, and thoughtful ingredients. Sounds like that didn’t land for you, and that’s fair. As for the volume, we’re aware it can get lively when the room’s full—part of the energy, but we’re always working to strike the right balance. Thanks again for the feedback. If you ever want to give it another go, we’d love a second shot to win you over. —David, Chef/Owner

    Not the enticing excellent fare we were told to expect. “Good but not great,” was our table’s consensus. Crusted halibut, a bit too salty… wild rice that accompanied the miso cod, more than a bit too soggy. Service: attentive and personable. Noise level: nearly unbearable.
    Prose Kitchen & BarResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Alan, Appreciate you coming in and taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. While we’re glad to hear the service stood out, we clearly missed the mark with a few key details of your meal — and that’s on us. The crusted halibut and miso cod are dishes we usually hang our hat on, so we’ll be revisiting both to tighten execution. As for the energy in the room, we know it can get a bit loud during peak hours, and we’re actively working on ways to improve the experience without losing the buzz that many of our guests love. We hope you’ll consider giving us another shot — we’d love the chance to show you what we're really about. Warmly, David Gussin Chef/Owner, Prose Kitchen & Bar
