Customer Review Summary

ProAbition offers a lively atmosphere with themed events, such as cute heart-shaped glasses for brunch and unique experiences on Valentine's Day. While many diners enjoy the food, with highlights like well-prepared steak, lobster, and praised desserts like butter cake, opinions on cocktails vary, with some finding them basic and lacking uniqueness. Service experiences are mixed; some patrons commend friendly and attentive staff, while others report poor management, slow service, and issues with order fulfillment. Although several reviews mention returning for future visits, some diners express disappointment with the ambiance and service consistency, leading to a more cautious outlook on revisiting.

My friends & I attended a Sunday brunch the weekend prior to Valentine’s Day. It was so fun, they gave us all cute pink heart shaped glasses. The food & drinks were amazing. Great times.

came on Valentine’s Day and they had naked ladies walking around the couples??? The restaurant was super hot im not sure why they are cheaping out on air conditioning?? I had reservations at 8:30pm and didnt get seated until 9:20pm; very poor management. The food however was very delicious. We had rhe steak and lobster and each was prepared very well. The drinks were very nice and presented well. Not sure why they had naked ladies walking around on VALENTINES DAY!

Last night we went to eat at ProAbition and had a wonderful experience. Janice was our server and she was exceptional! Not only did she provide fast, friendly, quality service but made some great recommendations and checked on us continuously throughout dinner. I wasn't super hungry last night, so I ended up just trying their butter cake. (My boyfriend ate dinner) Holy moly it was one of the best desserts I've EVER had in my entire life! I love dessert, so for me it was a huge deal to make that statement. They played great music that was not too loud to overshadow our conversation, but kept us singing some of the songs throughout dinner. Overall the experience was amazing and I look forward to going back again!

The food is good. The drink are good for the variety of selection but they are what they are like if you have had a cocktail at one spot it is like 20% better but not world changing. The biggest letdown is the atmosphere. LIke the whole prohibition/speakeasy theme just falls to nothing. Like it is just not on theme but it is just enough to see the idea. The definition of you have potential you just need to apply yourself.

Food’s decent. Cocktails are very basic, nothing special not that good either.. lots of juice i believe. The cocktail w the energy drink was questionable lol. Service’s good. maybe going back for another try

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.

Came here on the 5th and was sat very quickly even tho we were a little early for our reservation. We enjoyed everything we ordered, our waitress was awesome and had good drink recommendations. I’ll definitely be going back. I book a lot of reservations here for our prospective employees/faculty members and they always have great things to say about it as well.
