New-American fare | Craft cocktails | Bold flavorsNavy Proof Food & Spirits re-awakens the jovial ritual of the sailors of our past, swapping maritime stories over the rationed spirits they held so dear. “Navy Proof” was a term coined by sailors for the daily rum rations given to them by the British Royal Navy in the 1700s. The historic tale says that the sailors would “prove” the strength of their rum rations by pouring it on gunpowder & igniting it to ensure it had not been watered down.Experience new-American fare and craft cocktails with bold flavors. Each dish emphasizes technique and texture to showcase the versatility of seasonal ingredients and locally-sourced seafood and meat.

    Loved both the space and the food.We had booked the lounge area which turned out to be a bad decision for daytime dining, however the staff were very accommodating and moved us to the main dining room filled with bright daylight and similarly well designed and decorated space. The food was delicious and so was the service. Would definitely recommend this venue.

    Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

    We were able to find street parking. The restaurant was festive and surrounding area was well lighted. We sat at the bar while waiting to be seated. Cocktails were good and strong! We chose the prix fixe menu including dessert - brussels, corn, beets, clams, sea bass, and added the crispy pork belly - all was so savory and delightful! Ambiance was pretty! Service by Claire was awesome! Overall fantastic! We will go back for more! Great job Girl and The Goat!

    Our first time at this restaurant. Felt very welcomed the moment we walked in. Our server Bryan gave us an amazing experience by showing us their menu and giving us recommendations and telling us his favorite dishes. Also being very interactive with us which we enjoyed. Food was amazing we started off with the Country Fried Texas Quill then BLT Wedge Salad for our main course the 58 oz Cowboy Ribeye with a side of Lobster Mac and Cheese. We will definitely be coming back.

    My husband and I had a memorable dinner last night. Service was impeccable. My husband uses a Seeing Eye Dog and we felt welcomed. Kudos to the service staff and the chef! The food and drinks (try a Bloody Mary here) were sublime. We wish we had a restaurant of this quality near where we live! Happy Thanksgiving!
