Booked this for my parents 46th wedding anniversary. They loved the Rioja wine and had rave reviews about the Striploin and the Duck l. They said the server Jeneane was great too

We had a truly wonderful experience at Proof tonight. The table that was reserved for us didn't work for our family gathering, so the staff went out of their way to find us a more suitable spot. We ended up in a private space, which was wonderful. The food was fantastic, the server was wonderful, and especially the pacing of the meal meant we could have a good long visit with a family member from out of town. Highly recommend.

Lunch out with the ladies. Nice selection for lunch and bevvies. Janine did a lovely job serving us and didn't seem to mind our request for separate bills. Cool decor and ambience in the dining room. Plenty of parking onsite and registering license plate was a breeze. We will certainly return in future.

Was there with a large group last Thursday, Mary was our waitress. She was professional, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I was impressed with her knowledge of the wine menu and liked her suggestions for wine pairings. The food was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful with ample parking too. I highly recommend Proof. Thanks Mary for ensuring we had a great time!

Admittedly disappointing. A milestones with a marginally nicer interior. Service was friendly, but not attentive.Edit: Received no response after emailing the email address in their response. This was over 2 weeks ago.

My father and I made an appointment to speak to a manager regarding a private dining room rental. We were told we could come in on Monday, April 15th at 6pm to meet with a manager, view the room and discuss event details.We met with the onsite manager at the time, discussed dates and details and left with him promising he would book the room for us on the requested date and time, and have the event coordinator email us menus and further details.I waited until the Friday after, April 19, before sending in a private dining inquiry explaining what has happened and that was waiting for the event coordinator to contact us and send menus.We also had already confirmed the date with immediate family and specific guests.A week to the day after meeting onsite, I received a response to my email inquiry, separate from our onsite meeting. Hayley, the event coordinator advised us the room was already booked and that we should look at the semi private area or choose another date.I called the restaurant, hoping she was confused and the booking she was looking at was ours, only to be told it was a wedding that was booked months ago.When I expressed my confusion and disappointment, the gentleman on the phone said the private event booking system and regular dining system are separate and the manager on duty would not have been able to see that. There was no apology until I further escalated my disappointment and suggested (as someone who has worked as management in hospitality and completed a degree on the subject) that their lack of communication (verbally or systematically) is very disheartening and lacks to provide trust in their establishment.Please be cautious when booking a private event, and make sure who you are speaking too is capable of completing your requests.

Had dinner here for the first time last night (Saturday). It was super busy (even a wedding reception going on), but I was still impressed. Our waiter was awesome, along with the ambiance and the food. We had the Nosh (which was pretty good, relatively mild flavours, but good), the Onion Bhaji’s (EXCELLENT) and the Lamb Tacos (EXCELLENT). My tastebuds were singing with the Bhaji’s and the Lamb tacos. Seriously, so delicious. Every bite was an amazing explosion of flavour. We came from out of town for a special occasion, but would definitely go back when in KW. Also, nice that parking is free for restaurant customers.

Kyle (our waiter) was awesome!! (5 stars for service and great and honest recommendations!)Fish and chips... the fish is great, the malt seasoned chips are ok (only because I prefer to add my own malt vinegar)The restaurant food was good all around for our group...we went again! The ravioli was apparently also delicious.The burger is worth it...even the kids Mac and cheese was good for kids (as were the chicken fingers - who knew chickens had fingers!).
