Proof Kitchen Lounge - Waterloo

Atmosphere was great on first impression, although the lighting was dim where we were sat and then got dimmed even more (no candles to offset this). Menu was slightly limiting for dietary issues. My date had his choice of anything but for a vegan there was little to choose from. A salad for app and tofu ratatouille for dinner. The salad was ok but under seasoned and the flavours fell flat after the first bite. Tofu ratatouille was mediocre. Ratatouille was luke warm, and the tofu wasn 't seasoned at all. Dessert was an even bigger let down. It was this apple tart on an oatmeal 'crust ' that was so hard and chewy it was almost inedible. There is a misperception that vegetarians don 't care about food/flavours but there are some of us that are just as big a foodie as omnivores, we just prefer to be meat free for one reason or another.

A nice restaurant with a fun atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our table. Service overall was fast from drinks, appetizers, mains and dessert. The menu was unique centered around contemporary Canadian dishes. Overall everything tasted good, some dishes could have used a bit more seasoning or sauce to help elevate the dish.

Very nice, elegant, quiet restaurant in the hotel. Our partner booked a private room for 20+ people welcome dinner. The food is so good, salad, main dish, dessert, taste and decorations everything is perfect. There are a lot space for individuals, or few people gathering table. I like environment here. Will recommend to my friends if they visit Waterloo in the future.

Dined at Proof Kitchen Lounge while my stay at The Delta hotel. Tried their Masala Street Snack for the Appetizer which was delicious and very different. I chose the drink ‘The Rose-coloured glasses’ which was from their Valentines special menu and it was decent; not a fan. Rest of the food was pretty impressive and the ambience is quite fancy. Would recommend trying this place if you are looking for something high-end.

This is probably one of the best burgers I’ve had. The truffle adds a smoky kick to the dish. The crispy onions add a crunchy layer of texture at every bite. Generous amount of of gooey Gouda so you know more cheese better. Soft brioche bun. And as a nice addition, solid fries. Their menu is on the pricier side. V friendly service.
