proof

truly enjoyable dining experience. i eat out indca lot (i work here for a few months at a time) and proof is the best dining experience i have had so far. i was feeling summery and ordered the gruner veltliner- lovely. for my entree i got the pekin duck breast- perfect. i figured i was already 2 for 2 and ordered the chocolate hazelnut cake with espresso gelato- yum! to sum up, great spot to people watch, great wine list, great food, and great service. i'll be back!

ever since meeting scott 3 years ago, i have spent every birthday evening at a different and highly recommendeddcrestaurant. my first birthday together was spent at zaytinya , last year we celebrated at rose’s luxury , and this year was the highly anticipated and long awaited proof in penn quarter, dc. it seems the boy really ups the ante every year, and i left another birthday dinner on cloud 9. having been more than impressed with their sister restaurants, ( estadio , doi moi , and 2 birds 1 stone ) the bar was set high for proof. the excitement mounted exponentially when they were recently nominated for the rammys as  best wine program  and best upscale casual restaurant. we couldn’t agree more.

vegetarians who also are wine lovers will fall in with love proof , the first of a trio of first-class sister restaurants that also include estadio and doi moi (read my write-ups of the those two here and here ).   proof is a romantic wine bar located in dc's penn quarter/chinatown neighborhood.  the dinner menu changes seasonally, but as noted on the washington,dcrestaurants page of this website, it always offers a number of hearty meat-free appetizers, salads, and cheese plates, in addition to several tasty side dishes.  fortunately for me, my favorite vegetarian entree -- the napoleon of crispy tofu, wild mushrooms, and spring vegetables -- is a year-round staple . napoleon of crispy tofu, wild mushrooms, and spring vegetables, including baby bok choy, snow peas, green beans, and served with a sweet chili garlic sauce

top dining destinations indcincluding azur, jaleo, oyamel, poste, proof and zaytinya to sample specialty plates and delectable cocktails.

if you're looking for one of the greatest lunch deals in the entiredcmetropolitan area, proof is undoubtedly the way to go.

fantastic fine food. i've been indcfor 5 days so far and eaten there twice now for dinner. skip the asian green salad - way too bitter and non-interesting - but the tuna tartar - amazing! the sablefish dinner was very a wonderful surprise and the duck breast was perfect. great place for single dining at the bar after a long day.

a pleasant surprise. on my recent visit todci had originally made reservations with legal seafood but while waiting for my table i stumbled upon proof & decided to eat there after reviewing the creative menu and the maitre'd was able to immediately seat us. the decor was very nice; comfortable, nice size & acoustics were great for conversating & not yelling. the waitress was very accommodating and very attentive throughout the entire meal. the wine list was very comprehensive and intimidating so i asked for the sommelier & gave him some basic criteria and an under $70 price range, he recommended an excellent wine for $38, kudos to the sommelier! when the food arrived it was excellent. presentation, amount & temperature were dead on.
being from houston, fearing eating out at overpriced/under proportioned lacklustered meals which i've had in past trips this was a pleasant surprise and would recommend it to anyone visiting dc.
