About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
New-American fare | Craft cocktails | Bold flavors

Navy Proof Food & Spirits re-awakens the jovial ritual of the sailors of our past, swapping maritime stories over the rationed spirits they held so dear. “Navy Proof” was a term coined by sailors for the daily rum rations given to them by the British Royal Navy in the 1700s. The historic tale says that the sailors would “prove” the strength of their rum rations by pouring it on gunpowder & igniting it to ensure it had not been watered down.

Experience new-American fare and craft cocktails with bold flavors. Each dish emphasizes technique and texture to showcase the versatility of seasonal ingredients and locally-sourced seafood and meat.

    I had the pleasure of having breakfast at this location. The service was wonderful. We ordered the avocado toast with salmon, the traditional breakfast (eggs & bacon), mimosa and a bloody Mary. Everything came promptly and hot. It is definitely on the pricey side!!

    Although this restaurant feels more like a hotel lobby bar, the food was better than the reviews I had previously read. The smoked old fashioned was excellent. Service was slow, especially considering it wasn't crowded. Decent place to dine if staying at the hotel.

    The food was really good but watch for the additional service charge. The pricing on their bottles of wine are a bit ridiculous, you will spend less if you buy by the glass vs the bottle. Generally if you are getting 4 glasses it is more economical to get a bottle since it averages 4 glasses, but they charge $15 per glass or $80 for the bottle.

    Definitely overpriced for the quality we received. We expected to pay a pretty penny for a meal downtown but we did not expect bland food and mediocre service. Bartenders didn’t even acknowledge us and the bar was fairly empty. Won’t be back.

FAQs

Yes, the restaurant indicates it allows private parties. For private dining details (capacity, menus, AV, deposits), contact the restaurant’s events team to get current options and pricing.

The published hours list service as “Daily” for all meal periods, which suggests it operates every day. However, holiday hours can vary, so call ahead to confirm hours for specific public holidays or special events.

Portions tend to be moderate to generous. Guests frequently praise the handhelds (the Cheeseburger was called one of the best) and note that desserts like the Key Lime Pie come in very large slices. Breakfast entrées and large plates (salmon, steak frites, short rib) are plated as full entrees, while small plates and starters are sized for sharing.

Yes, Navy Proof is a solid choice for a relaxed, hotel-based date night. The restaurant focuses on contemporary American fare and craft cocktails, so you can expect sharable small plates, elevated handhelds and attentive table service on many nights. Guests praise the cocktails and some standout dishes (like the Proof Burger), though several found it pricey and occasionally understaffed. For a smoother experience, aim for an early dinner or reserve a table and mention you’re celebrating.

Navy Proof is open daily with separate service periods: Breakfast daily 6:00 am–11:00 am; Lunch daily 11:00 am–5:00 pm; Happy Hour daily 3:00 pm–6:00 pm; Dinner daily 5:00 pm–11:00 pm. If you’re planning around holidays or special events, call ahead to confirm.

Yes, you can make requests (dietary needs, seating or private-party arrangements) by calling ahead. The restaurant accepts reservations and hosts private parties, but some guests have reported phone/reservation hiccups, so calling earlier in advance is recommended to confirm special arrangements.

Yes, Navy Proof is kid-friendly. Guests bring families and teens, and the menu includes a dedicated kids menu with breakfast and lunch/dinner options like Mini Breakfast Quesadilla, Chicken Fingers and Spaghetti Bolognese. For family dining, consider an early seating or call ahead for high‑chair or special accommodations.

Weekdays are likely the best choice for a quieter, more attentive experience. Weekend brunch draws crowds and has been noted by guests as more hectic and sometimes understaffed. If you want a lively weekend brunch vibe, choose Saturday or Sunday morning; otherwise, midweek visits tend to be calmer.

Yes, the restaurant is family-friendly and offers kid-friendly menu options. Guests do bring families and teens, and the menu includes an Eat Well Menu for Kids. The venue operates as a hotel restaurant, so seating tends to be casual; if you need accessible seating or family accommodations, call ahead so staff can best prepare.

Expect a casual, hotel‑bar vibe with contemporary New‑American styling. Guests often describe it as feeling like a hotel lobby bar, relaxed and convenient for hotel stays, with craft cocktails and a comfortable, casual-dress atmosphere. Some guests noted occasional construction noise or dated seating, so ambience can vary by time and area of the dining room.

Casual dress is the stated dress code. The restaurant markets itself as casual dining with a relaxed hotel atmosphere, so smart casual or comfortable attire is appropriate.

For a quieter visit, mornings (breakfast) or weekday meals are best. Guests frequently note that weekend brunches and busy weekend service can be understaffed, while early dinners and weekday visits tend to feel calmer. If you want lively energy, weekend brunch still delivers food and cocktails but expect a busier scene.
