Proving Ground Waterfront Dining

We love going to the proving ground. The food and vibes are great. The service is equally great. But they advertised live music at 8pm that didn't start until almost 9. We left after 1 song because for us it was late. Please stick to your advertised schedule.

The restaurant was nice with good ambience on the waterfront. Crab cake was delicious and moist served with basmati rice. My friend had the black Chilean sea bass served with basmati rice which was also delicious and had good portion. Austin was attentive and pleasant.

Amazing customer service from Elizabeth! Great way to start the new year with great service and food. Will definitely be back very soon.

The location is great! Beautiful views! The service was above average, but we were disappointed with the food. Given that there are similar restaurants around, we probably won't return to Proving Ground.

First time at Proving Ground did not disappoint. The ambiance was great - will go back when it is lighter in the evening so we can enjoy what looks to be an outstanding waterfront view - the food was on point. Our server Sarah was the best - she took amazing care of us. Plenty of parking. Dont miss this gem!!!

Food was excellent as usual. Our waitress is the best always friendly and does a great job. View of the ocean and sun set amazing.

A jazz-ish guitarist and singer performed unmelodious tunes at loud volume, while the drunk Gen Z woman in the party of 12 sitting behind us regaled everyone with loud, boring stories. I was visiting my parents from out of town and we could not have a conversation.

Loved the experience. The waiter was perfect, 5 stars to him. The view is breathtaking. The whole experience was awesome. Loved it and will be back next week.

First time eating here. The atmosphere was great. Lobster bisque was excellent. Mussels in white wine absolutely delicious. The garlic bread served with the mussels was amazing. I had the crab cake dinner. It was very good. Would get again. Husband had linguine scampi with shrimp, also very good. Service was wonderful. Great dinner. Definitely on my list to return.

We enjoyed the Octoberfest event and the food was excellent! Always a great place to have a nice meal!

From the view to the food to the service everything was excellent. Will definitely be back

How do you screw up a Vodka martini? The place has great views so they uptick the costs and you get low quality food. Service was average, not warm and friendly or engaging. The manager came around as we were getting up, i bit my tongue as we wanted to get outta there.

We arrived and asked to be seated outside by a heater. There was an open table with a heater but the hostess refused to seat us at that table. Instead she offered us a 2 seat hightop without a heater and freeze or sit inside. Summers gone. The restaurant was empty. Remember your Locals who carry you through the winter.

Wonderful waterfront location. Very attractive pub/restaurant. They had a nice luncheon menu for $16 which offered 4 lunch selections with soup.

Excellent drinks, food and waitress service. Delicious surf and turf & Stuffed flounder. Margaritas were so good. No mix makes a big difference. Kudos to waitress and bartender
