After a number of daytime visits, we went in for dinner. They had live music on Thursday. Started out a little loud but they did turn it down a bit allowing us to have a conversation. Was busy, only seeing people come in a steady stream. Food was great with a varied menu. Saw a number of families with kids. Park in the garage around the corner. With all the food options in Scottsdale, this place is certainly one of the favorites.

My go to before downtown venues. Great ambiance, service and delicious food. Had a variety of appetizers and all were delicious. I tried the lobster baked potato which was outstanding and the butter cake dessert was amazing!

    Proof remains our go-to spot for casual dining in North Scottsdale. The ambiance, environment, and viewshed are matchless (e.g., the sun setting over Pinnacle Peak). We miss the old menu, but the prime rib was delicious. Bring back the biscuits! Patrick provided exceptional service to ensure we enjoyed our dining experience. Autumn recognized us as past guests at Proof and kindly stopped by our table to welcome us back. We will certainly be back.
