Proper Grit

We had a great Proper tea experience with our server Gorkem. Although our experience got off to a rough start with the parking situation during summer fest. We had to call the restaurant and the manager had to come out to speak to valet and get everything situated. The restaurant was designed impeccably and the table presentation was superb.
We were greeted by Gorkem with the warmest hospitality he was very accommodating and making sure my 2 year old daughter was part of the experience as well. The tea selection is outstanding, I opted for the decaf tea which had a subtle vanilla flavor and my mother in law had the earl grey. We loved the touch of the sand clocks to select our level of steep. The course started of with warm biscuits accompanied by jam and cream. Then we received the finger sandwiches followed by bite size dessert.
Overall a must try experience.

We went for my sister’s graduation dinner and from beginning to end had a wonderful experience! Our server Daniel was absolutely amazing- so warm and genuinely served us with joy. He made our time even more enjoyable!! We loved the hanging cornbread and bacon appetizer, empanadas, and salmon Wellington!

Staying at the Ben and stopped by Proper Grit in the lobby area for a drink before dinner. The restaurant's decor is beautiful. The service at the bar was great, so was the happy hour special, which lasts until 3pm to 6pm.

We came for afternoon tea with a Bachelorette party. The presentation was lovely and we enjoyed all the teas and bites. The service from Gorkem was especially outstanding. Would definitely recommend.

The food and drinks are great and the decor is trendy. The service is definitely hit or miss. We have been twice recently - once just for a cocktail and once for dinner. For cocktails we were there late afternoon/early evening and the bartender did not seem thrilled to have customers (we were the only ones at first), but the drinks were good at least. The food looked good so we came back for dinner a few weeks later.

We had a reservation for a late Valentine’s Day celebration/ milestone anniversary dinner. The hostess hard-pressed us to sit at the tiniest table in the whole restaurant (though 2/3 of restaurant was empty as it was right around 6 on a weeknight) and a food tour was going on at two high tops directly next to the tiny table with people standing up around the high tops chatting and we would have had to squeeze in between them to sit. We were eventually reseated but made to feel unwelcome/uncomfortable for politely asking (so much so that we exchanged gifts in the car instead of during dinner, lest we offend anyone for being there any longer at our table).

The food was great at least. I highly recommend the bacon and cornbread starter. Our entrees were also fresh and flavorful, as were our cocktails. Our server was also friendly and attentive, much different than our experience being seated.

Not sure if I would return on my own due to service issues the two times we have gone, but the food was good enough that I probably wouldn’t turn it down if someone else suggested going there.

It's just the perfect place for date night or any reason to go there. The shrimp and lobster Cajun stew was unbelievably great, my wife had the scallops with a corn puree, the service was just special. Oh don't forget the corn and crab fritters.

Outstanding meal with the family while vacationing in the area. Foody menu that has something to offer for all types of eaters. The hanging maple bacon and cornbread were amazing to start, we also enjoyed the crab and sweet corn fritters. For the main course we had the lobster and short ribs Cavalli, braised short ribs, and the proper cheeseburger. Everyone loved their choices. This place is worth a visit, if it's nice outside their outdoor bar and patio scene looks great.
