Visited during Savor Fort Wayne and had one of the best dining experiences. My wife and I splurged and still were well within budget. The food was phenomenal and the only thing better than the food was the service - very friendly and informative. We are already planning a return trip. If you are like me and kept driving past Proximo while driving through the downtown, do yourself a favor and make plans.

The food was absolutely delicious, Nathan our waiter was excellent. The entire experience was amazing. The Care Package which is a special Old Fashion they make was excellent and it was the reason. I came back a second time. The pictures of the food speak for themselves. This has to be one of the best restaurants in downtown Fort Wayne.

What a great breakfast place! The food was wonderful with a twist of Latin American culture. Service was far and friendly. Make reservations because it is very popular. I had the garbage skillet and my wife had blueberry pancakes.

If you're looking for an upscale brunch experience, this spot delivers with flair. From the moment you step in, the chic décor and refined ambiance set the stage for a memorable meal. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, making you feel like a valued guest. The menu is a gourmet latin twist on classic brunch staples. Highlights included the carnita eggs benedict, where the perfectly poached eggs paired seamlessly with rich hollandaise and buttery cornbread. The shrimp sope was another standout, combining fresh ingredients with indulgent flavors. For drinks, their signature mimosas offer a fun way to explore various flavors. Proximo is perfect for special occasions or simply treating yourself. Highly recommend!

Food was delicious, and the cocktails are amazing. I had the Cassiopeia for my cocktail, and I had to order a second one because it was just that good!! I had the cubano for my entree, and it was great. The service was pretty good and even though we didn't have a reservation, they were able to get us in pretty quickly despite the fact that they were super busy. A great experience overall.

We were lookimg for somwthing a little different than our usual date night choices, so we decided to tty Proximo. The sweet and spicy plantains were a perfect mix of flavors and textures. The shrimp and grits were creamy, with perfectly cooked shrimp, and just enough of a spicy kick. The atmosphere was watm and had plenty of privacy. Our server, Aaron, was top notch. He gave us excellent menu suggestions and was attentive without checking in too many times. Aaron had a very picky patron nearby to us who he handled with patience and kidness. I was very impressed with the professionalism of all staff while interacting with this person. I have already recommended Proximo to friends and family. Outstanding experience.

We had a nice lunch out on the patio, the service was excellent and the food was great! The tuna tiradito and street tacos really stood out. The tomato soup was also delicious and packed a pleasantly surprising spicy punch.
