Proof Pantry - Dallas

Restaurant week at proof and pantry rocks. each curs is better than the one before.

Can't check, but had to evaluate, so did the street. unfortunately proof pantry was closed when we arrived for our reservation. obviously they had hvac problemse. I'll try again someday and hope they're open.

Restaurant was having an issue with their A/C ..basically it wasn't working however it just seemed to our party of 6 that they weren't doing anything to fix the problem (it was 96 degrees outside). Asparagus salad had very little asparagus and the mussels were dried up and off tasting. The bread that accompanies the mussels was stale and over oiled and no attempt to toast it. Three in our party ordered the prix fix pre theater menu that came with a special cocktail of the evening but the waiter didn't offer it until we were ready to leave? A glass of red wine ordered was HOT. Won't be returning.

The food and service were exceptional. It was just u comfortably hot.

Our party of 4 arrived on time and hungry for our 6 PM reservation for a pre-show dinner at this restaurant that’s a short walk from the Winspear and our 7:30 PM show. Shortly after 7:10 PM, an hour and 10 minutes after we were seated, 2 of our entrees finally showed up. When one of the other 2 finally showed up after 7:15, we told them to take it back because we didn’t have time to eat. We never saw the 4th entrée. It was inexcusably poor service. The restaurant knew we were attending the show and they even have a pre-show menu, so they should know the importance of timeliness. We will not return to this restaurant.
