Food: Solid menu with few surprises

The Proper takes ordinary comfort food and gives it a high-end twist. While the Braised Short Rib is a clear crowd favourite, dishes like the Beet Salad and Parmesan Truffle Fries are not to be overlooked. The creativity can be hit or miss, with some dishes being described as underwhelming. This coupled with a limited menu might leave some wanting more.

  • Okay Taste

    Some dishes hit or miss; overall good but not without some underwhelming parts.

  • Low Quality

    Honey Truffle Fried Chicken super dry, Raspberry Sorbet had frost bite.

Vibe: Upscale elegance with a hitch

The intricate design and cozy quarters of The Proper provide an intimate, classy experience that is perfect for date night or a sophisticated evening out. Their extensive list of quality cocktails and wines is a strong selling point. However, the loud music can dampen the overall ambiance.

    Extensive, quality cocktails and wines enhance dining experience.

  • Okay Buzz

    Neighborhood restaurant with stylish vibe, but service and food just solid

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music inside is loud and difficult to speak over, disrupting experience.

Perks: Remarkable service amid chaos

The Proper's staff surpass expectations in service, providing a friendly and accommodating experience. They also have options for families with children. But, as a heads up, expect to encounter a few bumps on the way in – tight parking spaces and an unbearably noisy atmosphere when crowded.

  • Great Service

    Service was exceptional; staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating.

  • Okay To Reserve

    Hosts accommodate when possible; bar seating suggested when busy.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Outdoor seating under tent compromises lovely ambiance, not as enjoyable.
