Had a wonderful lunch date with my wife at Proof Gastropub. The food was exceptional, but one drink stood out above all else. My wife asked Brandon (the fantastic bartender) to make a Gin-based cocktail, and received her new favorite drink. He presented an amazing version of the Prohibition Bees Knees. The lavender color and hint of vanilla on the lemon wheel pairs with the mild sweetness of honey and gin in a phenomenon you MUST experience. My wife had three and said she could have spent the afternoon drinking them. Proof might be our new regular date spot because of this drink.
The chips and guac, fish and chips, and old fashioned were also great. Give them a try, and I think you'll find yourself satisfied at the end of your meal.
Group of four went out Friday for dinner. We were told it would be a 20 minute wait, that turned into over an hour. The hostess offered for us to order drinks in the waiting area 45 minutes into our wait, which we paid full price for. When we were finally sat in a booth in the main dining area, we were then told that another large party would need the tables along the wall, and we would be moved up to the “VIP upstairs with a great view.” The upstairs dining area is a cold annex with a view of the Lowe’s parking lot, bright lights, generic pop music, and none of the ambiance of the main restaurant.
Our server was quick to get an order in, and the food came out reasonably fast. The food tasted great, which we knew it would and why we stuck through all the waiting. When it came time for the check, it wasn’t split correctly, but we were too tired to continue bothering.
We typically love the food, drinks, and atmosphere of Proof, but this experience was not worth it. Lesson learned, if you’re planning on visiting on a Friday or Saturday make a reservation on the website!!

Haven't had such a good experience at a gastro pub in a minute. Was here for a work trip, saw pictures of the food and my girlfriend thought it looked way better than the current rating. It was. Honestly idk why it hasn't been rated higher. The killer Mac was killer. The smokey flavour is just what I wanted. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. Grayson was very attentive with our table & we had an overall phenomenal experience.

Had a lunch date here today. The service was amazing. Our waitress, Juliette, was an absolute doll. We ordered the Bees Knees drink and it blew our socks off. We ordered a second one before the first was gone. It tasted like a chocolate cake shot in drink form. Superb. I ordered the Killer Mac and my husband ordered the Blueprint burger. My Mac was out of this world. The chicken tasted like you grilled it at home. I actually ordered a whole other Mac dish to go it was that good. My husband said the blueprint was the best blu cheese burger he has ever had and he orders one anywhere we go so he knows his blu burgers. I’ve never seen bacon so thick on his burger. It was like a whole slice of pork belly. Oh and the garlic parm fries with the garlic aoli dip was bonkers together. The weather was gorgeous so we sat on the balcony to eat. Everything about this place was 10/10. We enjoyed ourselves so much. We will be back. Go try it I promise you will love it.

Stopped in on our drive through heading from Oregon to Idaho. Based our order after reading reviews. My husband and I split both the smoked pork nacho and the BBQ burger. The burger was filled will wonderful combination of unique flavors of heat and sweetness. I am a heat whip and though it wasn't overly spicy, I was glad I had a glass of water to cool my tongue. Like I said I am a heat whip. The burger did not have an overpowering flavor of BBQ which I appreciated as I am not a fan of BBQ sauce on burgers so ordering this was outside my norm. It was one of the best burgers I have ever had. My husband was nervous about the slaw on it and he too loved it. The nachos also were amazing. Loved the queso and creama! The Lavender Honey Bees Knees cocktail was a special one. We we asked about the drink our server had the bartender come to our table to tell us about it. I was pleasantly surprised he took the time to share how he makes this special concoction! Definitely highly recommend! We stopped in on a Thursday about 12:30 for lunch. We were seated right away. The service was prompt and courteous with a couple remarks that made me chuckle.
