Sorry that it was the last meal. But this meal was a delicious sign off. THank you. All of the plates in the NYE offering were quite good. And the portions all added up to a finely finished meal. I've eaten at Proxi every year that it has been open, sometimes a couple times in each year. I loved the Rohan duck; it's always a great threat. The cooks did a great job with it, beautifully pink-red, medium rare with a spicy crust. Delicious. THe two starting appetizers were also delicious. We both like the scallop, although my wife usually declines a scallop. The desserts were a bit strange, but not in any bad way. They were well thought out and very tasty. Nice meal. Nice restaurant.

Cocktails and fried elite was great. Everything else was mid. Especial the steaks. Very overpriced. Many dishes seemed watered down.

Got in to Proxi before it closes for good at the end of the year. Overall, great experience with the drinks from the bar being the standouts. It was nice that they have a vegetarian menu if you ask for it. The tempura elotes and eggplant were terrific. Cauliflower was good and the potato noodles were interesting (chewy). It was noisy, but nice to see them ending their run with a good crowd.

Food is definite fusion so may not be for those who are not knowledgeable about Asian food. It is all good, all worth exploring. Portions are small, but satisfying. Bar snack tempura elite is great! So is toffee pudding.

Fantastic ambience. The food was delicious, but the servings were extraordinarily small. Service was also extremely slow. (and given the very small portions and the stretched out delivery of our food we sat often without anything to eat or drink.).

Truly a one-of-a-kind menu experience. We did the Korean tasting menu and it was an incredible value for the cost. We left stuffed. Everything we delicious but our standout favorites were the stuffed shiso leaves, the venison, and the juk. But THE DESSERTS. My god. I'd honestly never tasted anything better than the frozen yogurt... until I tried the sticky toffee pudding. I know I sound hyperbolic but they were both so good they almost made me cry. Like I was making inappropriate faces at the dinner table. That good. So sad that this place is closing at the end of the year. I'm hoping the chefs all find amazing new roles and we can eat their food somewhere else in the future!
