    Short rib post roast was amazing definitely a 10/10. Au gratin potatoes weren’t my favorite. The complementary rolls with tallow butter were delicious. My husband got the filet. He said it was good, nothing super special but still delicious and no complaints. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

    We opted to try Proof On Main to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary during our annual visit to Louisville. Routinely, we had our anniversary dinner at Swizzle. However, when we were unsuccessfully at securing a reservation at Swizzle, our search for an alternate led us to Proof on Main-we are glad we did! Not only were we able to get a last minute reservation on X-mas eve, but it wasn't packed, adding to the intimate ambience we were hoping to experience. Our waiter, was not only knowledgeable, but he was verry attentive and detailed with his recommendations; which were spot-on. I cannot remember the last time I savored every bit of my meal.

    The food and drinks were delicious and our space at our table was perfect. It's a little bit pricey for the food that you actually get. Maybe that's just our really horrible world at this time! Hopefully after January some things will begin to change.
