What Anonym dislikes about Proximo:
Our server was fantastic. Food is always fresh and vibrant. However, this restaurant is divided into two experiences, main dining room and not. Today we were in-between the two, in a hallway with terribly bright lights. Our last visit, we were also placed to the overflow side. The ambience is poor and ruins the entire experience provided by the kitchen. View all feedback.

Good location and very nice ambience. Perfect noise level to allow you to have a conversation without having to raise your voice. The service was excellent with very courteous staff who are knowledgeable of the menu. Portions are large. We split an appetizer and dinner entree between the two of us and had some left to take home. The food was appealing to look at and pretty tasty, my only complaint on the appetizer, crab chilequiles was the chips were mostly soggy and with the Ropa Vieja the steak was overcooked (in restaurants defense I did not say how I wanted it cooked and nor did they ask). They are very accomodating to make dishes Gluten Free for people with celiac or a wheat allergy and that is so refreshing! I would definitely go back and just offer how I wanted the steak cooked.

We had a great birthday experience for my friend and my husband the free dessert is a nice touch for birthdays. Almond mimosas are bomb!

This was the second time I have eaten at Proximo and both times have been outstanding. It can be a little noisy when sitting in the booths facing the bar, but that does little to deter me from visiting when I return to Ft. Wayne.

Celebrating my father’s 77th birthday. They were visiting from out of town and it was the perfect place to gather.

Kim took care of us! She was friendly, attentive to our needs, and had fabulous recommendations! We love Proximo!

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.

I felt quite upscale during my visit. The food was both distinctive and of excellent quality. I tried the pancakes, which were among the best I've ever had. The cocktails were fantastic as well. The prices matched the quality and the atmosphere. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I was there a week ago, we found the restaurant while driving around the town. The food we ordered were very tasty, well presented to get your appetite going. There was not a loud music, you can have a nice dinner with a soft music, the service was very professional and pleasant. I will recommend to anyone who would like to taste real Latino American cuisine. Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Had a great time taking our adult son out for his birthday! Ceviche was an excellent appetizer and loved the creative salads. Drinks and entrees were exceptional and wonderful portions. Best is the service we received. Very professional,excellent suggestions and one of the best waiters we have had. We will be back, thank you.

I had my first lunch at Proximo today, and I highly recommend it! The menu is diverse and intriguing, and the service is exceptional. It’s a wonderful space to eat and chat while enjoying downtown Fort Wayne. They even have outdoor seating, which is a great bonus. The tuna appetizer is absolutely divine, and the shrimp sopa was delicious as well! If you’re a ceviche lover, this is definitely the place to visit, with many different varieties and preparations available.

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 had an wonderful dining experience at Proximo! Our waiter was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and prompt. We started with a lovely bottle of Caymus...perfect right out if the bottle and better after the waiter poured into a decanter for us. We started with the Crab Chilaquiles which were outstanding!! We had the Chicken Tortilla Soup and the house salad. Both were excellent. For entrees we had the Halibut and the fillet. Everything was above average and the unique combination of flavors makes for a fun dining experience! Definitely add Proximo to your list!

After having a bad experience walking into another restaurant down the street who “doesn’t serve children.” We came here and had a marvelous breakfast served by an attentive and kind server, of delicious food! Sweet Pepper Bacon what!? So good! Thanks for making our morning so much better!

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.

Proximo is an excellent spot for brunch, offering a delightful menu with plenty of variety. I highly recommend trying the breakfast tacos, especially with the option to choose from four different proteins. The staff is incredibly friendly, and since it's a scratch kitchen, most dishes can be customized to suit your preferences or dietary needs. They also have outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying summer morning meals.

Located perfectly in downtown, Brunch was exactly what we were looking for. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to wait a little, but it was definitely worth it. The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend checking it out. We plan to return for dinner soon!

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 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 and romesco sauce, another winner. We will definitely be back again. Make your reservations as soon as you can.

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.

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!
