Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Near North

We really enjoyed our dinner and the ambience was unbelievably amazing. Everything was top of the line. The perfect environment for me to propose to my fiancé. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 

First, we noticed the fresh and bright decor. Next, the live music. Beautiful young lady. Amazing voice. I didn’t catch her name, unfortunately. After looking at the menu (thank you for mocktails!) we settled on hushpuppies and fried green tomatoes for apps. Wow. The pimiento cheese and red pepper jelly went perfectly. We also ordered the fried chicken, strip steak, chicken sandwich, cucumber salad, greens, mac & cheese, and shrimp & grits (upgrade to cheddar, totally worth it). Everything was absolutely amazing. Portion sizes were big enough that we all shared bites and still each took to-go boxes home. Mel was outstanding. She had such a great personality and made sure we were well taken care of. The only thing we would change was to wait to place our entree orders until after we finished the appetizers. The food came out so fast that we weren’t finished with the apps. But it was all good. We will definitely be back!!

My husband and I were there on Valentines Day and it was a great experience. I love the music and dim lighting. Service and staff were great!

Proxi's food is not only outstanding but memorable. It is rare to experience such a level of care and quality. We are grateful to have such a restaurant in Chicago.

Wonderful pre-show dinner while sitting at the bar. The bartenders suggested a refreshing AF drink, and delectable choices from the menu. I even got a rose since it was Valentine’s Day!
