Reviews summary

Proximo delivers a vibrant menu and attentive service, with standout dishes like the lamb shank and children's pancake breakfast receiving praise. However, diner experiences range widely, with concerns over ambience often overshadowing the culinary delights. Many patrons report uncomfortable seating and noise levels that detract from the enjoyment. Service inconsistencies have surfaced, with some staff providing exceptional attention, while others appear distracted. Despite the flaws in atmosphere and execution, diners express a desire to return, drawn by the restaurant's potential and memorable dishes. Proximo remains a destination worth exploring—albeit with some caveats.

Was Anonym at Proximo a mag?

Food was delicious and perfectly prepared. When we asked our server a couple questions, she had the chef and the manager stop by our table. It was so thoughtful. Awesome place to bring my guest, who was visiting Fort Wayne. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Proximo:

We’ve always been a big fan of Proximo but this is the 2nd time that the food has been just okay. The bacon for Easter brunch looked like it had been pre-cooked and then deep fried. It was not a good quality meal for the price. It was really disappointing. View all feedback.

Che Alex is the best! It was Night of Lights so there were lots of people coming and going, but we still got excellent food and service was good.

We had a lovely server team Bailey and Kate(SP? these (2 went above and beyond to make our experience outstanding. We had a significant delay on our food being delivered and were provided a free appetizer to make up for it. We enjoyed our food but would like the chef to note that there is entirely too much black pepper on every savory dish and in everything, bacon and sausage etc. It would be better to allow the diners to add this once it reaches the table or offer it tableside like establishments do for Caesar salads etc. We will be back but will need to note this change when ordering here. Overall this place provides a great brunch spot in our area for its guests. We are grateful and will be back occasionally. Also, highly recommend this place offer cold brew to allow the brunch crowd to enjoy a very common beverage with brunch that would entice the brunch crowd to visit this place more often in our opinion. Definitely effects where I am going for brunch. Even better, a list of flavored lattes! This would make Próximo one of my top favorite brunch places in the area.

Everything was wonderful! We were celebrating 2 birthdays and the birthday girls were treated to a fabulous dessert along with a hand-signed card! So special. Our server was exceptional. We loved the mango/pineapple Sangria and had the opportunity to taste the next flavor that's coming out. I had shrimp and grits and it was wonderful with lots of big shrimp! The paella was plentiful and so so flavorful! Proximo is always great!

Proximo is top notch all the way around. We enjoyed the Shrimp and Grits and Risotto with Halibut. Both dishes were phenomenal and loaded with such flavor. The service was also great and knowledgeable. For appetizer we had grilled leeks with chorizo andromesco sauce, another winner. We will definitely be back again. Make your reservations as soon as you can.

I dined her with my colleagues and absolutely enjoyed the meal, service, and ambiance. The staff was very friendly and the dishes were really authentic and made from scratch. We especially enjoyed the Mushroom Esbeche, and the vegan mushroom Barbacoa.The food was little pricey but was worth the quality. To top it all, drinks were really delish too! Would absolutely recommendthis restaurant!

Amazing placed downtown for brunch, which was out goal. We didn't make a reservation so there was a small wait but it was worth it. The service was great and the food was phenomenal. Definitely go check it out. We'll be going back for dinner soon.

Proximo is a great place for brunch. They have a nice menu with a lot of variety. I highly recommend the breakfast tacos and getting four different proteins. The staff is very friendly and this is a scratch kitchen, so most meals can be customized toyour liking or needs. They have outdoor seating that is great for those summer morning brunches.

Very good lunch. More than par. I would go so far as to call it yummy . Very clean, well lit and smartly appointed spaces. Might have been the time of day but there was no hostess at the station for many minutes and I had to take matters intomy own hands with the bartender. All ended well without too much fuss but..

I can't recommend this place highly enough. While I typically don't believe in giving 5-star ratings since I think no one is perfect, Proximo truly deserves it. We visited for brunch, so I can only speak to that experience. I had a steak bowl that was absolutely fantastic. My companion enjoyed a salmon dish and tried six different mimosas. If you're ordering just one, definitely go for the Almond! The atmosphere and service were both excellent. I'm willing to bet I'll never give a 5-star rating again, but based on this brunch, I can only imagine they excel at dinner too.

What a fantastic find! My wife and I were passing through town, and since we both have several food allergies, it can be quite challenging to find a restaurant where we can safely eat. However, Proximo not only accommodated our dietary restrictions but did so exceptionally well! Usually, servers are familiar with their menu but may not know the specific ingredients that could trigger allergies. That was not the case here! Our server was knowledgeable about the types of oils used and which dishes contained soy, sugar, gluten, and more. The staff was very well trained, and the talented chef in this scratch kitchen knew exactly how to prepare our meals safely. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for both lunch and dinner on the same day. The biscuits and gravy made for a delightful lunch, while the pork chop dinner was outstanding! And the Brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious!

Was privileged to check out the soft open of Proximo last night. The food is Latin inspired, delicious, and beautifully plated. The menu is diverse and filled with must try items. (Shout out to the Sope! I am so excited to add this new restaurant to my downtown dining options. Kudos to James, Pete, Lysa, and the team on another successful restaurant!

Service was exceptional had atleast 5 different people stop and check on us/wait on us. You dont just have 1 waiter here. Everyone paid attention to us and helped clear plates and refill our drinks. The food was phenomenal. The duck and duck enchiladas were to die for. The chicken tortilla soup was delicious!!! We celebrated our Anniversary there and we will be back!!!

Próximo is a fantastic up-and-coming restaurant! I really enjoyed the ambiance and the food. As a Mexican, I have a deep appreciation for Mexican flavors, and I loved that each dish, while Latin-inspired, has its own unique and delicious twist. The crab chilaquiles and tortilla soup were both delightful, and the Rib-Eye was juicy and packed with flavor. To top it all off, the arroz con leche was incredible!

We went for lunch on the patio and we were blown away. We went in expecting it to be good and it was even better. Our waitress (who was also waiting on the bar. She killed it. Was great, sweet, attentive. The drinks were great. The food was phenomenal. They were definitely different, but I suggest getting out of your comfort zone. They balance the tastes so well between spice and sweet. When there I saw they had a brunch. I guess I have to go back!

Próximo never ceases to provide amazing food and service. It is more upscale, but they make it worth the money. The pork chop al pastor is incredible and the sweet glaze they put on top in delicious. Patatas bravas make an excellent side and they were sweet enough to gift us the churros for our anniversary dinner. So amazing! I’d love to come back here for every anniversary.

I've been looking forward to this restaurant ever since my first experience was so absurd that I had to double-check it wasn’t a fluke. After dining here several times, including a delightful brunch today, I can confidently say it's now at the top of my breakfast list. Without a doubt, this is my favorite restaurant of all time. I've read hundreds of reviews on Google, and after ten years of dining out, this place stands out as the best. The staff is incredible, the chef is exceptionally talented, and the management genuinely cares. Everything is made from scratch, and you can really taste the difference. I plan to eat here regularly. Bonus Tip: The smoked old fashioned is the best I've ever had in my life. The drinks are crafted with various bitters, and I'm pretty sure the syrups are made by the bartender themselves.

I have dined them with my colleagues and enjoyed the food, service and ambience absolutely. The staff was very friendly and the dishes were really authentic and made from scratch. We especially enjoyed the mushroom ash and the vegan mushroom barbacoa. The food was little expensive, but was worth the quality. To complete everything, drinks were also really delish! Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Proximo is an excellent choice! We savored the halibut along with shrimp and grits and risotto. Both dishes were outstanding and bursting with flavor. The service was also fantastic and very knowledgeable. For appetizers, we tried the grilled octopus with chorizo and Romesco sauce, which was another hit. We will definitely return. Be sure to make your reservations as soon as possible!

I waited to do a review for this place because my first experience was so absolutely ridiculous that I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke. After eating here more than a few times I spent today eating brunch to see where it stands on my breakfast list. I can now say without a doubt this is my favorite restaurant of all time. I have eaten and done hundreds of reviews on Google and this one after ten years of reviews is the best. The staff is absolutely amazing, the chef is freaking ridiculously good and the management cares. The best part is everything is made from scratch and you can tell. I will be eating here on a regular basis. Also bonus tip: The smoked Old Fashioned is absolutely the best I've ever had in my life. The drinks are made with all bitters and I'm pretty sure syrups made by the bartender.

The food was fantastic! Our server, Aaron, provided excellent service—he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. He truly went above and beyond. Proximo made our anniversary special; they even had a signed map for us from everyone!

Everything went well. U arrived in time, and a table was ready. Soon I was joined by two others. The meals and service were wonderful. We are and chatted for awhile. As more people arrived to find the restaurant, the noise level raised a small but, making subsequent conversation a but more difficult. The noise level would not dissuade me from returning for another visit.
