Completely agree with this other review posted. While the atmosphere is great and the server was attentive the food lacked taste, lacked finesse and execution, flavor and overall disappointing. Drinks water down—order something bottled instead. Duck was over. was dry, placed over cold lettuce making it wilt. Couldnt bother to separate the salad from the plate. No sauce for duck or dressing. Burger was maybe ok. Fries had frozen odd seasoned stale taste. Mint chimichurri sauce for lamp was horrible. Boiled veggie Side was a disappointment with no flavour. Green mint sauce poured over it. Ruined the lamb dish . Seafood risotto was interesting. Like my someone had experimented with presentation. Looked overcooked mushy. Taste was ok but Salmon was overcooked, didnt look fresh. Overall bad experience with the food. I had high expectations given the location of the restaurant, staying at Delta Hotel and menu prices but sadly it did not deliver. Won't be going back here on next trip. The only thing we liked was the pork popps appetizer and our Stellas. Thats it.

A nice restaurant with a fun atmosphere.The staff were very friendly and attentive to our table. Service overall was fast from drinks, appetizers, mains and dessert.The menu was unique centered around contemporary Canadian dishes. Overall everything tasted good, some dishes could have used a bit more seasoning or sauce to help elevate the dish.

Very nice, elegant, quiet restaurant in the hotel. Our partner booked a private room for 20+ people welcome dinner. The food is so good, salad, main dish, dessert, taste and decorations everything is perfect. There are a lot space for individuals, or few people gathering table. I like environment here. Will recommend to my friends if they visit Waterloo in the future.

Loved the salmon and the Portuguese chicken sandwich. The flavor combination of each dish was unique and surprisingly delightful. The staff were all friendly, nice and helpful. Most certainly will come back, and definitely recommend this place.

While the esthetic of this place is great the food itself is mediocre and the prices are far too high for the food that's being served if you want a super cute higher end setting and atmosphere this place has it. Delicious food wouldn't recommend but the food is good for the price i was expecting a higher quality and higher standard is all

Definitely check out this place on a Thursday night. They have a great DJ that plays a wide range of music from reggae to house; he'll keep you vibing all night.

Very good food, well seasoned. I had salmon and was able to switch potato salad for fries with no problem. Good size portions.

Friendly staff, good food, requested to be seated outside, our table was ready. A nice experience.

We LOVE Proof! We have been several times and the food is always spectacular.

We went here for a quick bite after arriving in Waterloo. The waitress was very nice and service was great. Loved the burger. The many TV screens are a bit distracting though if you want to have a conversation
