   Great service, a little loud for our taste but food and service were good. Only one issue was the lasagne arrived cold (in this day and age with meat thermometers so readily available just shouldn’t happen) but staff dealt with the issue and when it came again it was piping hot. All in all would definitely recommend.

   Our experience was fab! It was my best friends birthday meal. Mauricio made the service so special. He was super attentive and professional. He brought a surprise dessert and made the the very special :) Food was delicious. We were truly set up for the evening ahead. With a short hop to our Vicar Street Venue, its the perfect "pre-show " venue for all ages. Highly recommend. Jennifer :)

   My partner and I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Proof on Valentine’s Day. Given the occasion, we expected a pleasant experience, but the evening was anything but enjoyable. Our starter arrived slightly cold but was decent. However, shortly after, a loud alarm started going off every thirty seconds for about five minutes. No explanation or apology was provided by the staff. Then came an unbearably long wait for our main course—over an hour with no communication from the staff. Attempts to get their attention were unsuccessful, and as we neared the one-hour mark, the alarm started again, frustrating everyone in the restaurant. Eventually, we managed to speak to a waiter. After another ten minutes, we were told a gas issue in the kitchen had triggered the alarm and stopped food from being prepared. At that point, our meals hadn’t even started cooking. Frustrated, we decided to cancel the rest of our meal and asked to pay only for what we had consumed. Despite everything, we were still charged €26 for two starters and two drinks. The waiter was somewhat apologetic, but there was no real acknowledgement of the situation or any attempt at making up for the poor experience. The lack of communication was unacceptable. No one explained the delay or the alarm until we inquired. On top of that, leaving at 8 PM on Valentine’s Day meant we had no chance of getting a reservation elsewhere. The gas issue also raised concerns about whether it was even safe to stay. To make matters worse, I emailed the restaurant the next day to share my experience and never received a response. Given the poor service and the lack of communication, I would not return. To feel entitled to change €60 a head (which we would have paid had we stayed for the meal) for this was ridiculous

   Great food and staff, pretty good value. Only problem was I was sitting inside a fake plant for my meal. But still would recommend, and would go back. Just maybe request a different table.

   Service was fast and polite, and we were served quickly. However, the pizzas were too cheesy. I can't speak about the rest of the menu, as I didn't order anything else. Nice environment, clean and quiet.
