    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.
    Prose Kitchen & BarResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Krystal, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for joining us again — it means a lot to have your continued support. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the squash blossoms, arancini, and especially the short rib rolled lasagna! Your feedback on the miso cod is appreciated and noted. We’re also glad the panna cotta and sticky toffee hit the mark — even for a non-fan! Excited to welcome you back soon — and yes, cocktails are coming. Warmly, The Team at Prose

    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 :-)
    Prose Kitchen & BarResponded on June 29, 2025
    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
