Brought friends to Proximo for lunch. We all picked different items - soup & grilled cheese, the Cubano sandwich with potatas, the Salmon Cakes Benedict...everything arrived hot and ready to devour. Service with Jarod was perfect and he was very adept at creating a fun atmosphere. Will definitely eat there again.

What an incredible evening here. I made the reservation for a celebration and was able to coordinate a toast upon arrival. The food was very good and Rochelle was wonderful to help navigate the wine list and dinner. She even showed us around the restaurant which was very interesting and appreciated. Thank you!
