Great ambience, delicious food, excellent service. A trifecta. The room in the back has great ambience, but in the winter the heaters are on, so dress light or in layers! If you like a cooler room temperature (which I do), sit in the front. Both areas have a lovely atmosphere.

If you'd like a cozy and warm night with your loved ones, Proof Bar is the place to be. Fantastic service and ambience within a heated igloo on the patio. The food was delicious (we ordered the salmon poke and winter flatbread) and portions were larger than expected—exemplifying value for money. We were able to take our time dining in the igloo and weren't rushed in any way. I couldn't recommend this place more for a memorable dining experience with family, friends or a partner. A 12/10 experience!

The restaurant was short staffed but overall the service was good. I did not think the quality of the chicken caesar salad matched the price. The beer flights were great!
