Proof Bar And Incubator - Chattanooga

I absolutely love the Brisket Meatball Yakamein and the Porch Sangria at this restaurant! The atmosphere is fantastic, with a very jazzy vibe. Making reservations is also very easy.

We went to try the New Year's fixed-price menu. The appetizers were good, with the oyster standing out. We ordered the pork belly for our main course, which was very satisfying. The only disappointment was the dessert, which had an imbalance in its components, resulting in some bites being bland and others too sweet.

I have visited Proof many times before, but this time was different. They only offered the pre-fixe menu, which was still good, but I would have preferred a more varied menu for those who don't want the pre-fixe option. I understand the concept of the kitchen, but I was disappointed with the lack of choice during this visit.

Visiting from out-of-town and found this restaurant on Open Table. It gets great reviews, and has a very cool vibe. What you need to know is that the menu changes dramatically as different chefs cycle through to try new menu items thus, the name Incubator). It’s important to know who is there and what they are offering — as menu seems to be limited. We came on a Friday night and it featured Ukko Pizza and a Patisserie.There were only four pizza choices. The eggplant vegetarian pizza was my favorite, and we all really enjoyed the very unusual presentation and version of a Caesar salad. The food was excellent and adventurous. Restaurant is on MLK and parking challenging as the payment kiosk wasn’t working and wouldn’t accept our payment got a ticket, thank you, so make sure you are able to pay — street parking is free after 6pm according to the waitress). Even though it was 95 degrees that day, we ate on the outside patio — fans made it tolerable. Also, very fun, creative cocktail options.

My friend and I greatly enjoyed our meals: po-boy shrimp and West African Red-red was a flavorful delight to my tastebuds. Delicious!! However, we were disappointed that we could not enjoy our meals on the patio. Seating was available both when we entered and when we left.
