   There is no reason to have the music so loud that customers have to yell to the staff and or eachother to communicate. You're mixing a club environment at a restaurant where people are sitting trying to have general conversations over a meal. There is a balance and whoever handles the sound fail to ignore the obvious observation of a room of people leaning in to one another trying to get their message across over the music. Also my vehicle rim ended up with a scratch from the valet due to them valet parking into the curb. I've been here before and it was good, what happened? Change of management or valet company? Both?

   I was highly disappointed in this location. I’ve been to Riverside ProAbition which is fun, warm and inviting, good energy, great drinks, and good food especially the famous truffle fries. ProAbition DTLA was a horrible experience. Which is sad to say because I was really looking forward to brunching here. There was a dead carcass smell when you get deep in the building. When I asked about the smell I was told it was due to the raccoons outside and the manager burned sage to cover the smell up. I do appreciate her trying to do something about the smell which is partly why I rated 2 stars instead of 1 star. The air conditioner was blasting in 63 degree weather. And the food was just bad. My truffle fries were cold and hard. You could tell they were old. They also didn’t have the even coating of aioli sauce and Parmesan like the Riverside location does. It seemed it was thrown together with no care at all if the customer would enjoy it. Same for the Brussels sprouts. If you’ve ever been to the Riverside location you know the brussel sprouts hit! Not at the DTLA location though. I just had a plate of crispy leaves with chili flakes. It seems this location is more concerned about people turning up on subpar drinks versus a good full experience from beginning to end. The music seemed dangerously loud. Now don’t get get me wrong. I love a good brunch with great music. Their music selection was very good. But the volume was uncomfortably loud. I had to lean into my friend sitting next to me to hear anything she was saying. This place has great potential but it is poorly executed and lacks customer care and consideration. My friend expressed she was glad she experienced the Riverside location first because had she not, she would never visit another ProAbition again. And I have to agree.

   Our particular server was not very attentive. The food was super salty (I got a side of bacon) and the French Toast was wayyyyyy too sweet. The appetizer (blackened chicken tenders) were just burnt overcooked tenders with hardly any seasoning. The Dj was lit and played some good music.

   We were alone in the restaurant and the hostess asked if we’d like the music changed to our preference. That was a super sweet gesture. We were also visited by the bartender, hostess and server which was really nice. They made us feel at home

   The ambiance and service was 10/10. Our waiter was extremely helpful and funny. However I ordered the Cesar salad with chicken and it was extremely salty the salad and chicken. The chicken was also dry. My friend ordered the chicken Alfredo and the chicken was super salty as well and there wasn’t enough pasta for the price.
