While it 's a beautiful place and the reviews made us very excited to dine here, it just wasn 't worth it. 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.

We hadn't been here in awhile but we came to see the Jazz Junkies play on Sunday, March 3. We even invited 7 friends to come as well. The new remodel was superb and very thoughtfully done. We were impressed. Our server was Jennifer at the table right in front of the band. She looked very well put together and seemed to know her job. We ordered our food, which for some of us, took way too long to receive. For examples, one of our party was the first to order and ordered tacos. She was the last to receive her meal. I ordered the scallops ... for $35 I thought at least I'll be full; I received 4 very small scallops, and a few vegetable pieces on top of some sauce. What was there was tasty but not enough for what I paid for. I didn't even think to take a picture of my plate as I was in shock. Also, I ordered a Red Bull with which I requested but never received a glass to drink it out of. I had to drink out of the can. These were red flags of what was to come next. At the end of the night, we were given 1 $600+ bill for all of us to spend almost an hour trying to figure out who ordered what and who pays what! It was a nightmare! There were items added that were never ordered and some items were paid by the wrong party. All of which I'm not sure whose policy this was to combine 9 people's orders but was a big mistake. Jennifer never even apologized for this terrible decision. In the meantime, the manager, who knew this was going on, never came to help, talk or even acknowledge the issue. It was a terrible end to a good night of jazz. We have to say, if we plan to come listen to jazz again, we will be eating elsewhere and come on full stomachs to avoid this ever happening again. In summary, good choice in music, but bad customer service and too expensive! We were embarrassed for inviting our friends and are still apologizing today for their experience.

First and foremost, I was charged for a birthday cake and a birthday service fee that I did not receive. (receipt in pictures) It was not my birthday! However, two other tables did celebrate birthdays, and I guess they charged us on accident, OR beware onlookers you will be charged too. It took so long to get anyone to come back for the check I just ended up paying it without any discussion because I was late for my next event. I want to like this place but slow service and waitstaff slaughters the stars of their review. I have visited ProAbition over many years and the food has always delivered flavor and satisfaction. Drinks are basic overpriced but you compromise for the location. In addition, I have watched as the decor has gone from chic to overthinking it. Locals know to avoid this place but when everything else is booked in the area, it's one of those last resort situations. Good Luck!

Second visit to this restaurant. Reservation for 6pm we arrived 10 mins early to check in and were not seated until 6:20. The hostess let us know there were a lot of parties ahead of us waiting to be seated. Many empty tables inside... and yes I understand that staffing can impact the seating. We had the same issue first time we came. We were seated near bar at a table that was dirty. We waited for someone to come take drink orders and to be able to ask for table to be cleaned. Waitress came along finally and we decided to order drinks and dinner since we had a time constraint. We communicated this to the waitress as well. It took 15 mins for someone to come clean table and drinks arrived before that. Cocktails were good. As we watched the clock tick we reminded the waitress of our time constraint. It was now 7 and no food had arrived. Once we received our meals we were rushed to finish before our commitment. Food was good. My husband and I had the Delmonico steak and frites. Steak was good but the fries were not great they definitely dropped the presentation of the steak. They also did not adhere to the custom requests. Our dinner companions had scallops which were good and salmon which was overcooked. Interestingly when we passed by to return to car at end of night the atmosphere of the restaurant changed to almost a club. I think they have an identity crisis happening. We will not be returning to this establishment.
