I had seen a museum was in the hotel where the restaurant is located which got my attention. The food was very good. I was disappointed that my salad was so small with my frittata. The salad stole the show and the frittata was just OK. My mom loved her chicken & biscuit. The bison burger was excellent. The tuna dish was excellent. The biscuits & gravy were good too. The coffee was good. The restaurant was nice, but the decoration in the bar area was strange. Definitely a different type of experience. If anything the food was good.

During my recent visit to Proof on Main for lunch, I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. I ordered the hanger steak, which was seasoned to perfection and cooked just right. The flavors were robust and well-balanced, making each bite a delight. It paired wonderfully with their salad, which is a fresh take on the traditional wedge. The crisp lettuce, tangy dressing, and delicious toppings complemented the richness of the steak perfectly. For our appetizer, we chose the charred octopus. This dish can be tricky to get right, but Proof on Main nailed it. The octopus was tender and not rubbery at all, with a delightful char that added depth to its flavor. The vibe at Proof on Main is eclectic and unique, adding to the charm of the dining experience. The decor is captivating and creates an inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the customer service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who ensured our meal was enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, my meal at Proof on Main was stellar. The attention to detail in the preparation and seasoning of each dish was evident, and the pairing of flavors was spot on. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for a memorable dining experience.

My friend tricked me. He said, 'we're hungry after the flight so let's grab a quick snack and then find a place to get dinner.' Naively, i said, 'yeah! Good idea!' Well, we went and got some amazing barbeque - thank you KY. And then we made our way a couple hours later to Proof on Main. The ambiance, amazing, the staff, spectacular, and the food... I was appalled. WHY, why did i eat fried chicken and biscuits, when the tuna crudo, the octopus, the MUSHROOMS (oof the mushrooms whyyy), looked and smelled as amazing as they did? Could i loosen my belt? Actually maybe i could take off the belt completely. Because the papperdelle and beef tartare beckoned. I was so mad at my friend because there was so little room in my post-bbq belly that i was forced to try some cocktails instead. and THEY were delicious as well! How dare he have enough space to consume southern fried cooking and then a magical meal afterwards? Ugh - THAT guy. Alas, I made it up to myself by taste testing EVERYTHING and then we wandered around the artwork which were next level (review for that on 21C) but seriously, how dare he. Please, go. Eat the food, and do yourself a solid, DO NOT EAT BEFOREHAND! It's too good to miss a thing.

This was another delicious 5 star stop. From the decor, to the food, to the staff, everything was top-notch and prepared perfectly. The art installations create a great vibe, and a unique atmosphere. I went with the Pappardelle Bolognese which was incredible, and my travel mate went with the Bison Burger. Everything was superb and this is a great space to visit.
