Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Elizabeth

Wonderful second experience!!! Even better than the first!!! Super Pricey but delicious food and experience. Staff was spot on and they attended to our every need. Warmly greeted by all when we came and when we left….now here’s where my review gets ratchet so leave if you must………………..WHEN 👏🏽I 👏🏽tell👏🏽you that crab cake and Caesar salad had me ready to straddle the cook station after clicking my stilettos together and holler YES CHEF!!! Head chef was young and black and held it down immaculately. I love to see it!!!Those men in the kitchen truly don’t know just how very close they came to having their kneecaps lovingly kissed for their excellence. Wonderful to observe their hard work and dedication to their craft…my husband’s beef Wellington was fork tender and my son ate his wagyu steak with his eyes closed as if he was listening to a symphony (SN: he ordered it Oscar style and didn’t receive the Oscar but it was so damn good that we didn’t remember until we left) . Then dessrt- as if we had room- Whew chile Gordon’s momma’s sticky toffee pudding must be sans bra in the privacy of your own home!!! It don’t look like much but, hands down one of my best dessert experiences with their light and airy cheesecake as a close second. They really should consider roping the kitchen staff off because it took everything in me from going and booping each of their noses and whispering sweet nothings in their ears for tickling my food fantasies…WELL DONE!!! Gordon should be very proud!!! Won’t be back anytime soon because it was nearly a mortgage payment and life be lifing but, had to give credit where it’s deserved. Yaaaaaaaaas chef!!! K.bye ✌🏽

The experience was good and our waiter was awesome . Not too busy also for a Saturday night . Food price was a little high but food was pretty delicious. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a anniversary or rehearsal dinner

It was a wonderful place to spend Christmas Eve! Amazing service, outstanding food, never felt rushed. A 10/10 evening

Promptly seated (6:15 reservation). Waitress was prompt and attentive. The pre-dinner drinks took longer than they have, about a 15 minute wait. Food served hot and was good. The gingerbread bread pudding was delicious. The ambience was very nice and the free 2 hour valet parking was nice.

We opted to try Proof On Main to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary during our annual visit to Louisville. Routinely, we had our anniversary dinner at Swizzle. However, when we were unsuccessfully at securing a reservation at Swizzle, our search for an alternate led us to Proof on Main-we are glad we did! Not only were we able to get a last minute reservation on X-mas eve, but it wasn't packed, adding to the intimate ambience we were hoping to experience. Our waiter, was not only knowledgeable, but he was verry attentive and detailed with his recommendations; which were spot-on. I cannot remember the last time I savored every bit of my meal.
