The burger it self was a pretty large one, I'd guess a half pound patty as it had a lot of heft. It had the usual burger toppings, cheese, tomato, pickles, lettuce and a mayo. Taste wise, it was kinda plain and dry. Perhaps it was a bit overcooked as I got it to go. It was hot and freshly cooked - just needed another flavored condiment. Perhaps a nice bright and bold yellow mustard would have done really nice on this.The fries were excellent! They were the battered style, which allowed them to hold up well and maintained a great crispy bite to them. These didn't need any sauce as the flavor from the seasoning and batter was in full effect.

Love the ambiance of the restaurant. I feel like it's a cozy library. I've really only had drinks at this restaurant and my favorite is the espresso martini. The service is always kind and attentive. The one time I tried the truffle fries, I found it extremely oily and felt like I got the bottom of the barrel, broken oily pieces . It wasn't much to my liking. I will give them another try just to see if maybe it might of just been a bad batch . The parking is a little tight , recommend parking in the opposite parking lot which houses Round Table Pizza .

Basing my review off of two visits to the Proper, we came back a second time because we had a great time on our first visit. Unfortunately the second didn't live up to our expectations as one of us ended up with an upset stomach and struggled throughout the night. It was probably the prime rib sandwich, as that was the only meal that was not shared.We had just moved to the area and were exploring the eateries in the neighborhood. During our first visit, we did not have a reservation but luckily for seated at a nice window seat. I'm a big sucker on where we sit, so that was a big plus. On our second visit, we had a reservation but got seated in a middle table, which I was not very pleased with.We absolutely loved the vibe of this place; it felt very cozy like we were hanging around someone's nice cabin. The raspberry drink and Bee's Knees cocktails were tasty, a little pricey but expected in this area. Here are the items we ordered during both visits:- Off-the-menu crispy rice - by far my favorite on the menu! They should make this a regular item!- Crispy sandwich - tasty and I enjoyed the tenderness of the chicken along with the crisp. I asked for a little side of honey to add on a bit more sweetness, which I think was the right move. - Prime rib sandwich - good the first time, but it caused an upset stomach during the next visit. This was a real bummer- Jambalaya pasta - it was ok. Slightly bland, too much tomato. I honestly like the jambalaya at Yard House better lol!- Warm butter cake - YES all the way! Did we need it? No. Did it make us happy? Yes!So, both visits were quite different, which I think averages to a 3-star rating. I feel I've tried most items on the menu that I wanted to try, so don't think we'll be back in a while, but likely do another visit if something new is on the menu.

I loved everything about this restaurant! The ambiance was beautifully old-school, with a mix of jazz and library elements that gave it a timeless and elegant charm. The food was outstanding. We started with the happy hour guacamole, and it was one of the best I've had in years--fresh and perfectly seasoned. The salad was crisp and well-dressed, and the chicken piccata was tender and packed with delicious flavors. To finish, the molten cake was just right--not overly sweet and perfectly balanced in texture. This place is an absolute gem, and I can't wait to come back!

After finding a Band-Aid in my salad, I probably will never dine here again. The service is 50-50. If you're there on a good day, I guess you'll have good service but again I just cannot fathom eating here ever again after this site of a Band-Aid in my salad and bloody I may add.

Went on a Thursday night and it was pretty happening. The ambiance was cool and I felt like I was in someone's modern house. I ended up getting the short rib tacos which were pleasantly delicious. It also came with chicken tortilla soup which I devoured. It's a cool place to eat, not really to chat. The noise level was a bit too much for me personally. The servers were attentive and very friendly.

A friend and I went here for dinner, and we were both so impressed. In a great area, ambience was very nice. Seems like a good place for a date night, but a few of the tables around us seemed to be there for a girls night which was very cute and definitely made our experience better. We came about an hour before closing and were worried about being an inconvenience, but they said it was no problem, and got us our food really quick. Server was super sweet!I had the short rib pappardelle, which was fantastic. Meat was tender, perfectly sauced, overall just really good, if a little rich. My friend had the honey truffle? fried chicken, and she said she loved it.Overall, really great, will definitely come again!
