The chicken and chorizo burger was delicious, and the fries were crispy and tasty. The beer and mixed drinks were spot on as well. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was cozy and romantic.

Our server seemed very confident at first, but once we started asking questions, her knowledge of the whiskeys you actually carried lacked. And she didn 't know how to answer our questions about the menu either. We ordered our apps, drinks and 1 single hamburger patty for the dogs. My wife 's old fashioned had toooo much luxardo juice in it that it looked like watered down cranberry juice; it 's a shame since we came specifically for the amazing old fashioned the reviews boasted about. I ordered a Jameson with a coke back... I got a coke on the rocks, ZERO Jameson. The spinach dip was okay, I had just a couple bites. Everyone else 's food was decent. I myself ordered the BBQ burger, medium rare. I got well done with a small scantly ring of BBQ sauce, so I asked for some on the side, and I was charged $3 for it. So, for the pups, we ordered the one regular sized unseasoned beef patty to give the pups while we enjoyed dinner. They came 15 mins after we got our dinner and I even had to go get up and ask for them. The server said, oh the kitchen made small ones, so I sent them back for bigger ones . But I ordered just one regular patty just to keep them. Occupied. She still pegged me with the up charge x2. I didn 't fuss, since I was celebrating my daughter 's baby announcement, and I was only in town for the night. Did I mention, after we got our apps our server said, we 're super busy so the kitchen is running entrees slowly, so it will be like 20 mins. Then walked away, we hadn 't even ordered our entrees YET! She wasn 't back for another 15 mins!!! When she brought us extra bread, she dumped in from one plate on to the plate with the other apps... why not just set the plate down. The whole night was one big Are you serious! Disappointed. The only thing enjoyable sadly was their location. Corner spot, great lighting and plenty of people watching while you wait the 20+ minutes to order food. Might I add, we were only their 3rd table sat for their dinner service that started at 4:30, and in total it took almost a full hour to get our food and drink orders fixed and never once did a manager visit us with all the issues we encountered.

The bar tender was polite and attentive. The French Toast was the best! Crunchy, sweet and still hot off the grill. The prices are higher but the food is great. I would go back for sure

For instance, one of our friends was the first to order tacos but ended up being the last to receive her meal. I ordered the scallops for $35, expecting a fulfilling dish, but was disappointed to find just four small scallops and a few vegetables on a bed of sauce. While it was tasty, it certainly didn't justify the price. I was so taken aback that I didn't even think to take a photo of my plate. Additionally, I ordered a Red Bull but was never given a glass to drink from; I had to drink straight from the can. These issues were just the start of our troubles. At the end of the night, we were presented with one bill totaling over $600, which led to nearly an hour of confusion as we attempted to sort out who ordered what and who was responsible for which payment. It was a frustrating experience! There were items on the bill that we had never ordered, and some payments were mistakenly assigned to the wrong people. I don't understand the rationale behind combining the orders of nine individuals, but it was definitely a mistake. Jennifer never apologized for this unfortunate situation. To make matters worse, the manager, who was aware of our predicament, never came over to help or even acknowledge our issues. Overall, it was a disappointing way to end what had been an enjoyable night of jazz. Unfortunately, if we decide to listen to live music here again, we will be dining elsewhere and making sure to eat beforehand to avoid a repeat of this experience. In summary, the music was great, but the customer service was lacking and the prices were too high. We felt embarrassed for inviting our friends and continue to apologize for their experience.

I've been to ProAbition many times over the years, and the food has consistently been flavorful and satisfying. The drinks, though, are pretty basic and overpriced, but you kind of expect that considering the location. Additionally, I've noticed that the decor has gone from being stylish to feeling a bit overdone. Local regulars often avoid this place, but when everything else is booked in the area, it becomes a last resort. Good luck to anyone thinking of visiting!

It was such a vibe the music was great, everyone was singing out loud to all the songs. People were getting out their seats dancing, so it ended up turning into a dance floor. Oh, and the food was really good too.

It was a saxophone playing vocalist who sang cover songs from different genres of music. The food was good (I recommend the truffle fries), and the wait staff was polite. My only con would be the wait time to be served was slow considering we came at a time when it was less busy than usual.

The music was enjoyable, and the crowd was quite diverse. There is a cover charge, but it’s just $10. I would definitely return for both the club atmosphere and the food in the future.

The atmosphere was nice and we had a reservation Sunday afternoon which I definitely recommend because it was packed! Music was perfect level not too loud but loud enough everyone can enjoy. I am in love with the French toast and the potatoes for brunch. Everyone at the table loved the food. Chicken and waffles was good too. Would love to come back here and see the nighttime environment too. Definitely would say good I wish the waiter would've given us a little more attention or asked if we were celebrating anything as we did have a birthday for the group I barely had time to mention between orders. Definitely worth the price best brunch I've had since moving to California.

But is there any way maybe you can try to adding Pancakes on your menu. Like on you kids menu. Instead of just only having waffles. But this restaurant was still amazing to eat at... See you soon.....

I went with my two friends for lunch and my part of the bill was $27 including taxes and tips... Now I had a Smokey Sage to drink what was amazing – if you are not a fan of smokey stuff, don't get it, there's the aftertaste, but I loved it. One of my friends and I shared the Proabition Burger and the Chicken pizza. Both were amazing, meat was juicy and cooked directly at the Burger. The pizza was more of a flat bread than a pizza – but still delish. I'd go back, but I wouldn't be regular for the price. Can't wait to go for Happy Hour!!!

Drinks were good but pricey. Entrees so-so. $50 for a mediocre fillet. Overall good but not great. $240 for dinner for two and I can eat almost anywhere, probably go elsewhere next time.
