    We had a lovely anniversary dinner recently. Our server Brendan was very gracious and kind, the food was scrumptious, and they even sent out dessert with a "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate!

    Very good, but not great, and very expensive. Upbeat atmosphere. Nice lighting and flowers. Service was very good.

    Recently had my birthday dinner here with a party of 7. It was truly wonderful. Highly attentive and friendly service from start to finish and the owner even stopped by to greet us and wish me happy birthday. We ordered nearly all the appetizers and loved them all, the lobster arancini was a universally loved option. Mains were also excellent, especially the pork chop and the risotto with scallops. Throughout our meal we worked through several bottles of wine which were chosen by their sommelier, who was delightful. We all left happy, well fed, and I can't wait to return!

    A nice menu of California cuisine, and the servings were generous. But my pork chop was too salty, the noise level was on the high side, service was sluggish (although attentive), and we generally felt it was pricey for what you got.

    We actually ate at Prospect twice this past week. On Saturday, there was a three hour drop-in Tacos and Margaritas Happy Hour that was so much fun. Bar Manager Abe was making his fantastic margaritas that day, I had the tamarindo version, and it was very, very good. Chef Agustine was the guest chef in the kitchen that day, making his famous ceviche, and guacamole appetizers, and both pork carnitas and shredded beef street tacos that were so good. There was also the most divine churros, with a chocolate dipping sauce. We showed up early with a group of five, ordered several rounds of everything, and reluctantly left at six PM. It was a fun special event, with lots of delighted people there. It was announced to Prospect’s email list, so I was very happy I was signed up for that. A couple of days later we had another amazing dinner on Monday night. I started with the lovely pear and beet salad, my friend started with a dramatic tuna tartare with these puffy shrimp chips, really good! Then I had perfectly cooked scallops on a bed of yummy white beans. My friend ordered the pork chop, that he was so very happy with. I begged for one bite and it was amazing: tender, juicy, with some kind of wonderful sauce drizzled over it. We barely had room to share the addictive Frozen”Snickers” Bon Bon for dessert. We drank a great bottle of Reverdy Ducroux Sancerre with our meal, and together with the warm and efficient service, had another great night at Prospect.
