    I really enjoyed the outdoor patio area. The noise level was not ridiculous and we actually enjoyed a brunch convo. The food was delicious and perfect. The drinks, amazing.

    The atmosphere was very time appropriate, themed after the prohibition era. I ordered the Delmonico steak frites and it was delicious! Came out just right, smothered in onions and mushrooms. I also had the Hamachi Crudo, a light but delectable fish dish. Esmeralda was fantastic and delivered excellent service. I would definitely dine here again.

    The restaurant is very nice. Our waitress had a very nice personality, but was very forgetful. All the way from forgetting chicken for my wife’s salad. We had to wait 12 minutes till the chicken breast came out on a plate by itself. she added it to the salad. We both waited for the chicken to arrive, which made my burger cold. We ordered drinks which took an extra 10 minutes. I ordered a second cocktail which our waitress completely forgot to bring it I had to remind her 15 minutes later. My burger was supposed to be medium, and it turned out to be rare. I ate it anyways cause I knew it was going to take too long to redo it. To top it off, our bill had two extra plates, which turned out to be an extra $61 more to my bill. I almost didn’t look at the bill and just handed my credit card but then I asked for a look. That’s how I discovered the extra charges. Absolutely terrible. As we all know, that was not a mistake. unfortunately, it was our first and last time here. . I was really hoping for it to be great. I like downtown restaurants.

    Dear Chad, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your visit. We regret the delay with your wife’s salad and the impact it had on your meal. The wait for your drinks and the mistake with your burger’s doneness are unacceptable, and we are truly sorry for these lapses in service. The billing error is particularly concerning, and we assure you it was not intentional. We are taking steps to address these issues to prevent them from happening again. We value your feedback and hope you will give us another chance to provide the exceptional dining experience you deserve. Sincerely, Alexander Camarillo/General Manager ProAbition Whiskey Lounge/Riverside

    Food was good, except they ran out of salad dressing early in the evening. They didn't ask if we wanted something else, just gave the salad minus the dressing I wanted. Salad was a little dry at that point.
    ProAbitionResponded on 25 February 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food overall, but we're truly sorry about the salad dressing issue. It’s disappointing to hear that we fell short in providing the complete experience you expected. We should have offered an alternative or at least informed you about the situation. Your comments are valuable, and we'll make sure to address this with our team to improve our service. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    We went on a Saturday. They were short Staffed to begin with. We were sat within 10 mins but waited for our food for over 40 mins. A table that was sat 10-15 mins after us was about to get their food before we did but that table left because they had already waited so long. They left because they were told their food would take another 20 mins but their food came out 2 mins after they left. Our food came after with the excuse that it took long because of a conference that was happening. We ate our food but it was not worth a 40 minute wait. The waiter never apologized nor thanked us after paying and for being patient. That didn’t leave us wanting to come back at all.
    ProAbitionResponded on 25 February 2025
    Dear Ana, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the long wait time and the lack of communication from our staff. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait over 40 minutes for your food, especially when other tables experienced similar delays. We regret that our staff did not apologize or thank you for your patience. This is not the level of service we strive for. We are addressing these issues to ensure a better experience in the future. We hope you will give us another chance to provide the quality service you deserve. Sincerely, Alexander Camarillo/General Manager ProAbition Whiskey Lounge/Riverside

    Super loud, wait time for food was not satisfactory, had to get my food sent back when it finally got to me because it still had the things on it I requested be removed, overall, not the best experience, but I'm sure it might be better when its not as busy a night as valentines day.

We appreciate your understanding and hope you will give us another chance to provide a better experience on a less busy evening. Your feedback is valuable, and we are taking steps to improve our service. Sincerely, Alexander J. Camarillo/General Manager ProAbition Whiskey Lounge/Riverside
