We loved all the flavors the chef brings together but the Indian themed main entree dish was disappointing. Pairing Chana Dal fritters with an overly lemon themed dal with spinach just seemed careless and lacked any creativity unlike most of the other dishes especially the appetizers and desserts.

My wife & I came here a few years ago & loved it, so we were excited to come back. Overall it was just ok. The food was fairly bland -- a few dishes needed more salt. The pace was very off. It took 15 minutes to even get a drink & 25 before we were served an appetizer. From there, the pace was just slow. I had to even ask for them to speed it up.

Had tasting menu. Not a fan. Food was not hot, not fresh from the kitchen, the portions were minuscule and the service we had was awful. They also charge a 3% employee fee in your bill at the end, so if you don’t look at your bill and don’t see that and tip … your 20%ends up tipping 23%. The craft cocktails were good but overpriced. I won’t be back and from the looks of the diners around us, they wont be either. Horrible stand out was what they call swordfish kabbob. And they do not have valet parking.

Great spot for a group. The dishes are very shareable. We tried 8 plus menu items and every one was delicious. Complex flavors - standouts included short ribs, steak, scallops, and tempura elotes. Well chosen wine list. Excellent service. Great hip vibe but not too dark or loud. Tables are well spaced. Service was terrific.

Amazing!! We did the chef’s menu for our anniversary and it was outstanding. We sat at the counter and saw chef calmly and coolly managing a swarm of orders with the intensity of a precision watch maker. Beautiful presentation and incredible flavors. The Chaat was incredible, wagyu mantu dumplings melted in my mouth, and the salmon salad was easily the best salad I’ve had in my life. INCREDIBLE value for one of the better tasting menus I’ve had at 75/person. Will definitely be back!!

Chicken came as a half chicken still completely on the bone, which is difficult to navigate at a restaurant designed for sharing dishes that doesn’t provide serving utensils or a heartier knife. We took it home in order to deal with it there. That being said, all of the rest of the food was delicious and inventive, including the cocktails.

Our time at Proxi was amazing. The food was memorable and unique. The drinks were superb. On the tasting menu, there were a few stand-out dishes including the Fennel & Apple Chaat, Poached King Salmon Salad, Swordfish Kofta Kebab, Grilled Berkshire Pork Collar, and Thai Yellow Curry. For drinks, the Green Eyes and the Temporary Joy were particularly stellar. I would go back to Proxi in a heartbeat! Thank you!

Wonderful set menu with plenty of flavorful options for vegetarians...outstanding fusion dishes. The server was very accommodating is substituting in an extra vegetarian option on the opening round and a desert without gelatin. The wine pairing was a really great trip through South America including a delightful Brazilian sparkling and unbelievably tasty Uruguayan dessert wine. Our server was really knowledgeable on all aspects of the meal and wine. Fantastic meal and start to the evening before the opera.

We tried the Chef’s menu with 3 courses + dessert, and we were not disappointed. Every course had very tasty dishes that were elegantly presented and served in a timely manner. Our favorite was the Thai Yellow Curry and Sweet Corn Chaat. It was a good amount of food, and the ambience was nice, and the waiters were friendly.

Going to Proxi was a great experience! The sweet rolls with chili butter were a hit, along with the coconut steamed rice, very aromatic. We started with those, got the corn chaat which was very good, kind of grain salad combination with puffed rice and corn, very good. The tomato salad was awesome, the smoked tomato hummus and habanero spiced seeds were great. Then we got the tepache braised pork belly which piqued my interest. Although the pork belly was very fatty and just soft, in kind of a watery braising liquid. This dish honestly put me off a little bit. Nonetheless the service here is prime, 10/10 the atmosphere is also great and I would definitely return to try again.

Food was fantastic and everything was great except the server. 3 major things stand out 1) overcharged us for drinks (menu listed different price than check). 2) Never checked in on us, despite us wanting to order something. Only got checked in on during dessert. 3) The last major thing is that there was a fly in my drink, I told the server, and the server just brought me a new drink after interrogating me about when the fly landed in the drink (genuinely did not know but it should not matter!). I thought nothing of this at the time. Then I saw that I WAS ALSO CHARGED FOR THE REPLACEMENT. She just brought it out without asking and charged for the replacement drink. Overall- amazing food, get better service and dont charge for an unasked replacement without telling the customer
