Proof Kitchen and Lounge

This new restaurant is promising. The brunch menu was inventive, offering creative spins on poached eggs, waffles, fruit and granola. Service was prompt and courteous, food arrived quickly, and plating was aesthetically pleasing. However, I found the prices were somewhat high for the size and quality of the plates. Also, I feel the theme of the restaurant may be a little too on the nose; it is quite clear the clientele they wish to attract. On the whole, a very pleasant and tasty brunch at the Proof Kitchen.

Proof is one of those restaurants that are able to provide top quality dishes. Every single time I’ve gone, the food never fails to impress me with how delicious it tastes. My personal favourite has to be the green dragon curry dish. The staff are always so friendly, and are more than willing to help you out with any recommendation on the menu. The premise is always impeccable, spotless. Tip: make sure to register your license plate at restaurant entrance, so you don’t have to pay for parking!

As a Vegan, Proof has limited to NO OPINIONS for vegans and vegetarians. First of all, there is no indication of vegetarian or vegan dishes (no V at the side of titles). Without an indicator, the customer has to read the whole menu to try to find options available. To make it more difficult, a lot of the ingredients they use in the dishes are not included in the description, such as butter or milk. Even in ordering a salad from the waitress, was I then informed that the sauce has fish in it— not mentioned in the description. This should be stated in the description because Proof should not expect Vegan to have to publicly declare their diet or feel the need to constantly be checking with waiters, therefore having to rely on the dietary education of servers. It should be simple enough to order off of the menu and feel comfortable and confident eating. In addition, consider how this may affect someone with mild to severe allergies who choose, for personal reasons, to not explain their needs. I strongly encourage Proof to expand their menu to be more dietary inclusive and more transparent about ingredients and preparation. I do not feel comfortable in eating at Proof again until changes are made to fulfil my confidence in their kitchen. I would not recommend this place to vegans and vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions.

Awesome food and service. Went at night for drinks and our bartender was awesome. Went again the next morning for breakfast and it was SO good. My husband got the "Whole Lotta Love" and I got the "Good choices". Both were delicious and very filling. We also received complimentary biscuits with jam and they were great too. Would definitely return if were in the area!

My absolute favorite place to eat in Waterloo. Whenever I visit Waterloo I stay at the Delta and having such stellar cuisine in house is super convenient. Their menu is very modern, chalk full of healthy ingredients and very vegetarian friendly. The ambience is also modern and staff is bright and cheery. I love their mock tails too. Be sure to try the new veggie burger and the Mediterranean platter appetizer.
