    Absolutely the best ining experience. Our shrimp appetizer was undercooked, but the waitress handled it easily and quickly. The shrimp deJohne was perfect. Cindy the bartender was fun and truly enhanced our dinner. The bread. Oh. Lord. The bread. The bread and a room. So fabulous. Our bread pudding dessert was as good or better than want we have had in New Orleans. Highly recommend!!

    Our server was super sweet and attentive! And the gentlemen who brought out the sparkler for my husbands birthday was very thoughtful of our toddler being scared of the sparks. Overall, great experience.

    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.
