This place surprised us in the best way. We chose it because of the great location, - when walking by the atmosphere looked interesting. We were willing to take whatever quality of food it had to offer and it blew us away! Kaitlin, our server, seated us as soon as we walked in and took the best care of us. Kaitlin convinced us to order their brussel sprouts as an appetizer, best brussel sprouts with secret sauce I ve ever had. Thought maybe they got lucky with that - but then our steaks were incredible! Top-notch.

The food was good. The drinks were great. The service was SLOW and two of the items we tried to order off the not very extensive menu they were out of . Also BEWARE there s an added 3% service check on all bills + the suggest tips on the CC machine default to 22% which given the service and missing menu options was ridiculous

Food has always been good, servers vary, its a hit or miss if you get a good one. Also I saw the health department recently got involved with this place. Not sure how many violations or why. I havent been back since I saw them on the list. I expect to be eating at a very clean restaurant when spending the monies they charge. Also bathrooms, bar tops, tables and floors should clean as well.

Server prioritized table of 6 that had just arrived and gave them all waters before us (2 people) when we had already ordered our food. We ordered the Tres Leches French Toast and Breakfast Burger well-done. French toast tasted like it was deep fried and the breakfast burger was raw. Took awhile to flag down the server so they could replace it. He did not check up on us throughout our visit. Only refilled our waters when we asked for the check. When we paid he didn t return our change or receipt. When we asked for them, he looked upset. Overall wouldn t come back. Service was bad and slow. Food was okay but overpriced.

I sat at the bar at around 8:45. I ordered a drink and talked to the bartender about best food choices. I decided on food, but wanted to have two drinks before I ordered. Half way through my second drink, I put in my order. Mind you, it was just a bit after 9 and they close at 10. Unfortunately, the bartender came back and said the kitchen was closed. This would have been 45 min before closing time with no, last call for food warning from the bartender. FAIL on multiple levels. I m here on business frequently, and come here when I am. I won t come here again, and I would urge if you come after 8 that you order your food to guard against the random, non-communicated kitchen closing.

t s the place to be if you re looking for a cornucopia of whiskeys, however be prepared to pay at least $18 for a craft cocktail. Food is fine; truffle fries, brussels sprouts, sliders, and lobster mac are safe options. You absolutely pay a premium for vibes and location here. Jazz quintet on this Sunday night was excellent.

We came here all the way from Orange County to celebrate a birthday pretty disappointed that one of our meals out of four never came out. We asked the waitress and she checked it turns out she missed putting in the order she did offer to make it however everyone else was already more than half way done so we passed on it. My rib eye steak was also not the best it was very dry. I also didnt like that we had to ask for everything like salt and pepper and sweaters for tea I guess they want to make sure how much is given out. I doubt I would visit this place again.

We went here in February for my girlfriends birthday. Right after we ordered they asked us to move for a bigger party. We kindly accepted because we wanted to be nice. When our food was ready , they couldnt find our table because they didnt communicate to the kitchen we had moved to. When we got our food everything was cold. Overall a horrible experience for a grand total of $200 for 3 people.

So. No lie, the first time I came here, I was bummed because they didnt have any IPA; and I was like... how can you call yourself ProAbition and not have IPA?? But fear not, we came today, and they literally have 3 IPAs. Redemption has been served. also, food and mixed drinks have always been great. I just have a thing for IPA.

We had an amazing time with our server Jennifer We brought the vibes and she rode the wave with us. We had so much fun, laughing and eating. She gave great suggestions on our food/drinks and didn t disappoint. We had family from out of town and they already claimed Prohibition as their new spot while in town.

Used for dinner while staying at Mission in. I was able to make a reservation online, but I entered the store as a walk-in. Choose from the terrace or inside the store. There is live jazz music and you have to speak loudly to hear it. Sliders 16USD/Caesar salad 18USD/rib cap65USD/King salmon 36USD/pappardelle ragu 31USD It took about 20 minutes for the food to be served. Drinks include bubbles in bottles, beer and wine on your own. All the dishes were delicious, especially the main meat and fish. There are 3 sliders. It has an authentic taste, is delicious, and is cheaper than a salad. A restaurant where you can casually enjoy American cuisine. recommendation.

Went yesterday morning for brunch and the food and service were great! Our waitress, Georgette, was very attentive and knowledgeable with the menu. My cousin is trying to avoid meat so Georgie recommended a dish that accommodated her needs. We ordered the birria quesadilla, birria chilaquiles, trea leches French toast and truffle fries. The truffle fries were so good! The Norris quesadilla was also super juicy with a delicious salsa that went along with it. The French toast was unique because it had a crispy sweet cornflake like coating, but very good as well! We ll definitely be back!

Perhaps it was just an off night. Our poor server had 10 tables and each part of our order took a really long time to place and to receive. I ordered the chicken scallopini. It was positively horrid. The chicken was problematic on two levels: it was too tough to cut and it smelled terrible. Really terrible. The server and manager were apologetic and kind, but I paid over $20 for an inedible dinner (discounted) and a glass of water. I recommend finding a different dinner location.

I came for reservations made over a week ago with 15 people. To start they crammed us into a really awkward table set up, since they really cannot accommodate a group this large. Since Gratuity was included, I was forced to tip our one server over $200 for her to pay attention to other tables. This place looks great on paper, but their execution is horrific. If I could have negatively tipped I would have. horrible experience, horrible service and really really ok food. I would suggest trying someplace different since there are so many other options around.

My daughter made a reservation for 12:30 1:15 . I had to follow up. Then all of a sudden the hostess says I was about to sit you. She gave us a table outside no shade no umbrella. Waiter goes there ten minutes later. Took water. Never came back then another waiter comes , takes our order They took like 45 min to give us our food And when I asked the hostess to try to get us a table inside because it was too hot ,she said I ll try. She kept taking people in and never even apologized to us for not doing so. This was the most horrible experience I had My kids were dehydrated when we left I won t ever spend one dime in that place.

Just no. Go elsewhere. Went for just a mimosa brunch. First off everything is served in plastic the server just dumped ALL the champagne into the plastic carafe like dumping out into a sink so it all went flat within minutes. The juice was more like Minute Maid. It was hot out but all the heated lamps were still cranking and they wouldn t turn them off. This place is just wanting. We drank our bad drinks and just left. We won t be back.

If I can give this place 0 stars I would. I booked a reservation on March 1st for my birthday on April 18th. I make a 9pm reservation on open table they tell me I m confirmed. So I reserved 6 weeks in advance. I get to the restaurant on my reservation date and some rude girl comes up to me and says they can t seat me because the kitchen is closed and they just got the reservation 10 mins prior. I told her I don t know how that can be when I booked 6 weeks ago. She told me there was nothing they can do and just sent me away. This place completely ruined my birthday and wasn t even sorry about it. I m so disappointed why would you allow me to reserve 6 weeks in advance @ 9pm if you don t keep your kitchen open past 9pm on a Thursday.

This downtown spot is a classic Riverside staple. It s in the heart of downtown, with views of the Historic Mission Inn Hotel. They have a wonderful patio for outdoor seating a, a bar, and an indoor dinning room with all the vibes! I really enjoyed the pear mule! It had great flavor. The steak tacos were just right, tasty and had some green sauce to add some flavor and a little heat. My friend ordered a salad and added steak. It was a huge salad and she could hardly finish half of it. For dessert my chocolate cake was not bad but, nothing to write home about. (I m a chocolate cake snob.) My friend had the butter cake, which is a crowd favorite we were told, and it was very yummy! Overall great food, great location, great vibes! Parking: Street parking is free after 6pm downtown.

We called ahead at least a week and a half or two to schedule reservations. I was told that I had to book the reservation thru the event planner. So I left her a message No call 2nd msg a couple of days later no call a couple of more days still no call. I was upset and told the guy who answered the phone that this was terrible customer service. I asked him for her phone number and he told me he didn t have one. Finally, the Monday before the event (18 people) she called and confirmed. Day of the event we were seated right next to the front door in some weird configuration that did not allow us to converse with each other. They set us up for 17 people but luckily 1 person did not come as planned. By the way this was brunch at 2 pm not dinner. Service was just OK. Food not worth the price. It took a long time to get our order taken. The bill was over $1,100.00 for brunch. Don t think we will be back.

We went there to have drinks and for the nightclub. Around 10:00 p.m. the nightclub starts and they strip all the chairs you cannot sit down unless you buy the really expensive bottle service. The music wasnt that great they were playing a lot of hip hop. Outside patio there was lots of people smoking marijuana. Not sure if thats even allowed outside.

Been here a few times and usually great service and food, but this time for Valentines Day though we had a horrible experience. We made reservations way in advance, but when we got there they tried to upsale on a burlesque show for 180 more, we said no thank you... just wanted our regular reservation, and it almost was like we were punished for it. They ended up putting us at a table squished in between two other couples- like close enough to might as well been eating together at one big table. We had to interupt the other table just to get out. It was very very uncomfortable. On top of that though the food came out over an hour after we ordered, was lukewarm, and mediocre- Nothing like its been in the past. Service came around maybe every 20-25 min, and just wasnt great. You felt almost like ignored bc we didnt pay the 180 for the show. I dont know what happened or what they were trying, but you had a lot of upset customers.... probably dont go that route again? 3 stars only for previous experiences which were good, with great food. I hope it doesnt change like this for good.

Horrible service. Arrived here on st Patrick s day with hopes of having a great time. They opened at 10am me and my partner arrived at roughly 1030am and sat at the end of the bar. Another couple was sitting at the other end and had already been served. We waited 10 mins before any of the 4 people behind the bar gave us menus. Man with long hair finally greeted us with menus and we never saw him again. Two other customers entered the bar sat right next to us and a bartender greeted them immediately, it seemed like he knew them by the way they were speaking to each other. He immediately asked them what they wanted even though me and my partner were ready to order drinks and food. As he got their order down (and took a while to make a green beer and one cocktail) he looked at us and asked if we needed menus. I told him no we are ready to order and he seemed surprised and said ok I ll get you right now he took another 10 mins to make their drinks. At this point we had been there over 20 mins with not one drink(keep in mind the place has just opened and had less than 10 guests ) we decided to leave. Never coming back to this place. Do not recommend unless you re a close friend to the workers. Save your cash. Heroes is down the street where we were took care of as soon as we sat at the bar (they had more customers here as well at the time).

Got some tickets for their St. Paddy s day celebrations. Tickets say 10-10pm. We arrived at 1pm. Apparently the tickets aren t good until 4pm. Then the hostess tells us we have to get a reservation on open table, next reservation was at 630pm. They should have been clear on on the stat time since it very important for people to plan accordingly.

Came on a Tuesday night with a large party. Our party s food all came out at different times. The first person got their food around 40 minutes before the last person. We had to send 2 plates back.

The brussel sprouts were tasty (app), but I had the eggs benedict w/ chorizo and it was a bit greasy. My auntie had the steak and eggs and it was okay. The server was nice but seemingly forgot what I would (politely) ask for each time. Kind of got annoying. We sat on the patio and it was a nice day sunny and not hot so the atmosphere was lovely (inside the music was a bit loud). However, the bathroom was DISGUSTING. Trash over filled, feces on the toilet, and more... On our way out we informed the hostess of the bathroom situation and she said she knew! Meaning this was a regular thing at this establishment. I definitely dont intend on coming back anytime soon, if at all. And thats unfortunate because I heard great things about this place via Tiktok, but I promise you it was all hype. OVERRATED.

Walked right in and sat down at the bar, place looks like they clean up well and the decor is nicely done. I went to order up an old fashioned which was made to perfection, to my surprise the drink had an ice cube with the letter A neatly engraved on it which I thought was pretty cool. I had ordered a small snack and thought fried shrimp sounded like great way to go and I was not disappointed. The shrimp was well seasoned with a blend of spices and seasonings which made them pop with each and every bite. Not everyone knows how to fry up something without relying on a sauce to pick up the slack for lack of flavor. Service was pretty good despite the fact that the bar keep was swamped he managed to serve and take my order along with the whole bar with ease. I am intrigued to see what other tricks they have to the hors d oeuvres.

I attended a work dinner on 1/22/2024 at Proabation. The quality of the food seemed acceptable, and the venue is suitable for the occasion, although perhaps not as formal as one would expect for a work dinner. The quality of the service was poor, at best. One of the guests, who, among other things, was diverse, was served by a different server compared to the other two guests. It seemed to me like the first time I experienced this level of disrespect. I would not recommend going to this restaurant.

We had a girls night out here last night and we were all so impressed. First impressions are everything and the manager greeted us with a big smile and compliment from the minute we walked up. He really set the tone for the awesome service we received the whole time. We were seated with Georgie (Georgette) and she was fantastic!! My mom described what she like to Georgie, who then recommended the mushroom risotto and she was spot on! Delicious! My sister and I had the filet and it was great. It wasnt too busy of a night but the ambiance was still really cool. Every single staff member was really friendly, but especially the manager and Georgie. Thank you, everyone. Great first experience. We will be back!

We arrived early for our reservation and were quiclky seated. Drinks & Appetizers were delicious. however, I ordered the rib eye steak and the french fries that came with it were ice cold. I then noticed that other tables that ordered the french fries also received them cold and complained. Overall I was happy with my steak.

Got to the venue after booking online and was informed they did not have my reservation... Got it worked out after standing outside for way to long. I Booked a table for NYE with $ 750 minimum, not a problem and was good with that. Bill came with a 20% gratuity charge built in, also no issues until out Bottle service host lies to us and says its a service charge that goes to the house and not to her. Rather then argue and waist time we just give her an additional tip which we would have done either way. Place comes off as shady and unofficial.

New Years was not the greatest at ProAbition. 3 bartenders and the guy near the entrance was killing it while the girl at the very end was in La La land taking her sweet time while the other two guys were working hard. The middle guy once he saw my bf wrist band didn t want to deal with him. You do unlimited alcohol but get treated poorly for getting it is not right and the vodka tasted cheap unfortunately. I did three stars bc of the bartender near the entrance bc he did excellent attending to people.

I only gave this restaurant 1 star because there is no 0. I dont mind paying high prices for a meal, but this was awful. The steak was way overcooked, my chicken was cold by the time I received it. Very slow service. We had to keep asking where is this or that more than a few times. The best and only good thing, were the garlic fries. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone.

Food is a little hit or miss. Drinks are okay. The atmosphere is the best part here but everything else is average. Service is friendly. They usually forget to bring an item. Drink or appetizer not a main dish. The prices are probably some of the highest in downtown. I would add that nothing is bad here. I havent tasted something that really disappointed me. But for the price theres better food and better drinks nearby.

Before Covid ---as with so many great restaurants--- this place was awesome, now, I would not recommend. Our service and food were horrible, and the managers response was, we are busy. We did not recieve our drinks for 30 minutes, for which we should have just left. Food took an additional hour and a half. The food was cold, nobody asked how we were, and they forgot two entrees for our party. Highly dissatisfied, there are plently of other restaurants to go to before we would desire to come back.

For it not being very busy, they were struggling horribly with service. Think the runners, were grabbing things that were ordered in their area and not paying attention to the order itself. Everyones food arrived came out in stages. There were only 3 of us.

Could be more inventive, more rebellious. Cocktails were delicious but familiar. I had the aviation and loved it. Food was incredible besides the scallops being under cooked (asked for them to be made more well and came exactly the same). You dont come for good personal service which would truly be the one thing that made this joint exceptional instead of just great.

Came down for brunch, The DJ gets all the credit for putting out some good vibes with the music he was playing. The service was absolutely terrible. Took over 20 minutes to get a waiter to come by and give us some service. Alfredo our waiter was the best, he charged me for a beer that he never brought to me cuz majority were out so I settled for water. Then he made sure not comeback to ever check on us until we were done with our food. Chicken n Waffles sucked! Skip them by all means. Birria chilaquiles were the better option.

Sunday brunch today took 30 minutes to be served after ordered. Food was cold. Music was loud and some customers were dancing on the tables twerking. At 12 noon some people were dressed for evening clubbing and the music was overbearing. I will not recommend this to anyone looking for good food, reasonable service and peaceful meal for brunch.

Waited at sign to be seated and had to go inside to track someone down. She seemed annoyed we were asking to be seated and said to wait a minute. She grabbed someone to come help us. The man came to inform us the kitchen had been closed and only drinks until closing. If you come for dinner after 9p, likely kitchen closed - since we arent sure what time they actually closed it.

Chill-place, waitresses.... . The only thing I didnt like was the fact that if you do bottle service. They arbitrarily dictate the tip and is grayed out upon payment its only after they get the machine back do they continue the sale and magically they select the tip for you. You only see it on your receipt. It made me feel swindled, not that I couldnt afford it. But its the principle of the matter at play. If you are wondering what the tip was, 20% came out to $200

Only reason to take off a star is because Im vegan and they still put cheese on my food and I had to wait and I was starving on my birthday celebration! Please, add a couple vegan items to your menu. Thatd really the only thing I have a problem about frequenting places with only options that have to be tweaked. Great service, great atmosphere, and I received two gifts from strangers as well! The birthday song is super fun too!

First drink was good. Ordered the second drink and that drink came in a completely different glass with ice lots of ice tasted different and was not good at all. Mac and cheese was too salty do not recommend. Bathrooms had no seat covers, no soap and no paper towels. For the price of the food and drinks the restrooms should not be missing any of the basics. Do not recommend coming here. You expect that in a dive bar not a restaurant like this. I told a couple of different staff members so this can be fixed and no one seemed to care.

I had dinner on Thursday 11/09, it was a slow night. The server was slow coming to take our orders. Once we got our food I ordered the filet mignon my hubby ordered the steak Domenico everything on my plate was ice cold including my steak and the knife on my plate was covered in the wine sauce in the handle so I got sauce all over my hand.. So they brought another small plate with potatoes and veggies and I had to eat my meal on a extremely small plate with a cold steak. Worst steak Ive had I could have gotten a better steak at sizzlers.. Ive eaten steaks at Gibons in Chicago and other fine establishments in the Midwest and in California to know a quality steak and this lacked.. I was extremely disappointed the restaurants decore it was extremely confusing, on side of the restaurant was Alice in wonderland and the other was 1920 burlesque, SMDH, If I wanted to go to an Alice in wonderland restaurant then please change the name to Wonderland.. I wanted and hoped to go to a speakeasy type establishment. We are 1 and done we will not be back. The restrooms where filthy, as if they hadnt been cleaned in weeks, even the changing table in the womens restaurant women was extremely unsanitary i was utterly disgusted. Thanks for the worst birthday dinner ever!!! I should have went to anywhere else .

First time visiting for dinner. The food was delicious. The Mushroom Risotto was very tasty. The BBQ Bacon Burger had nice flavor, and the fries were crispy. The side salad is a very generous size and could be shared if you didnt want too much before the main meal. Service is slow. We sat at our table for 15 minutes before a server asked if wed been helped. Cocktails are their specialty. The Pear Mojito was refreshing. Food prices are above average, but the quality is good.

Horrible service! It took about 30 minutes to get our drinks when the place was not busy. The waitress blamed the bartender. When our food came out some of it was cold and our steak was overcooked. We ordered jalapeños for our steak, but they came out after we were done eating and had already picked up our plates, the waitress still proceeded to charge us for the jalapeños. She blamed the cook for them coming out late. The only thing that made our visit pleasant was the older Hispanic man that was trying to help us. Unfortunately I didn t get his name. Our order was over $100 for an unsatisfactory experience.

0 stars horrible managers but the food is okay. Mangers will rush and be very rude with you to pay the tab if they feel as though ur type is the the type to skip out on the bill if you are a southern black woman that is educated they will try to disrespect and disregard you. 0 stars would not recommend my husband and I came for our 3 year anniversary and the service from both am and pm managers was absolutely horrible. He came to check on all they tables around us expect for ours but purposely skipped us. Flies were in our brunch (mind you we were sitting in doors) and our drinks split. no mangers or waiters bothered to clean the area around us until they nagged us to pay the bill + tip and we insisted for the table and floor to be cleaned around us. We were rushed to pay and made to feel very uncomfortable to the point were we felt as tho we had to leave. Manager even stated well I wasn t the one the split it this was a very Intimidating experience considering the manager was around 300lbs and I m a petite sized woman ( 5 foot 3in 110lbs ) that was being yelled at. (My husband accidentally tipped over a water while I was in the bathroom) We were both shock at how horrible the customer service and experience was considering I was recommended to visit this establishment from one of my assistants Absolutely horrible customer service Update: We tried to give this place a second try. So we went for the Halloween party. The bartender took my debit card and we opened a tab around 9:30pm . Around 10:30-11 I went to the bar for a second drink. I stood there for about 30 mins as the bartender took everyone s order and skipped over me several times. Two groups of guests had come and gone around me until I decided to ask my husband to close the tab and get my final beverage because the bartender was ignoring me. My husband stood on the other end of the bar. In about 3 min my husband was approached by the bartender and my husband pointed at me Told the bartender to close my tab and order the last drink. The bartender got upset that we closed the tap and didn t tip him. He yelled at my husband Oh Wow no tip!! So loudly I could hear him from the other side of the bar table. He was so rude. It was unbelievable. When my husband asked for the copy of the receipt the bartender refused to give us a receipt yelling No way bro, I won t be able to find that. I don t have time for that We had to find a manager just to get a copy of the receipt. I would never recommend this place.

My Birthday , party of 8. Spent a bit over $100 per person. We were told and confirmed that we could remain at our table after dinner upon conversion from resturant to night club via a returned phone call. Reservations at 8pm. We ordered drinks immediately. I the Birthday girl ordered our waiters recommendation of there old fashion. He was right...An amazing drink. I had 3. Several of us selected it. We had several rounds of drinks before the meal came. Our waiter suggested for me the Rib Cap it sounded delicious and I being a steak fan I ordered it. Oops know that we ordered numerous appetizers all being delishous as well. Dinners started to be served and staff are starting to move tables around, cleaning in preparation of the club. Meanwhile we are just starting to eat. My steak..... unfortunately was not all the waiter made it out to be. It was in my opinion over tenderize I believe as it was pre-sliced and you could tell lost all its wonderful rib eye texture. Just mush. No great flavor the rib eye is known for nor barely any seasoning so pretty bland. The sauce used to drizzle over was a tad to salty. I ate one slice and unfortunately could not eat the rest. No the mashed potatoes were excellent but unfortunately there was maybe two large tablespoons of it. By the time the waiter came back around most were done eating and it was probably around 9:30. He saw my plates steak had not been eaten. My daughter explained. He asked if there was anything else I would like to order. 9:45pm.... I said no thank you other then my 3rd old-fashioned..bring this story to conclusion. I got my drink and within 10 min of getting it we were told we would have to vacate our table as it was now there VIP lounge with bottle service only? We explained we were called back and assured we would be able to remain at our table to drink and enjoy the music. Nope unfortunately we could not. We got up with our drinks and went into the bar area. We stood there for a bit and finished are cocktails. May I also mention we were all dressed for an evening out to dinner. The crowd coming in were fairly casual and far younger. We being late 40s. They attempt to show a vibe of being a proabition ritzy type night club with prices to match but our party of 8 that spent a total of min $1000.00 and prepared to continue partying were asked to vacate our table??? Makes absolutely no sense and bad customer relations. Oh..... they definitely did nothing about my steak and yes were charged and no comped drink or even a to go container!! Lol. Will not be going back anytime soon. To bad because the Old Fashions were really the bomb!

More like a bar/lounge Night Club. If you are planning to have dinner at this place on the weekend ( like I said, more like a bar/lounge,) ask to be seated at the patio because the inside area will turn into a nightclub and if you still seating in their money maker tables you will be asked or rushed out the area by a guy wearing an oversized black suit with a flashlight begging for respect no matter how much money you have spent on dinner and drinks , remember, this seating area around their dance floor is the money making VIP . So , my suggestion would be to have dinner somewhere else ( since the food is over price for sampler size main dishes) and just come here for a drink and the night club.This place could be much better but it looks that they focus more in the fast money making way by doing party events and the night clubs reservations only then the dining experience.

Unfortunately the menu is very limited. The menu has substantially smaller than it used to be. In addition they used to have several vegan options which are all gone now. On top of that the fish was over cooked. However that being said the atmosphere is always pleasant. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is always good.

The only thing I have Rave about are the Brussel Sprouts in their Appetizer menue. They Sat is in a Booth with an Ugly Torn seat that made me laugh cause it was a High Ranked Restaurant. The Shrimp Scampi was returned cause it lacked in Flavor, better when it returned though, although it wasnt as packed it was a long wait for everything else. Id give it a Second Chance just cause of the Sprouts haha
