THE STORY BEHIND THE PROVING GROUND…WE TOOK A LITTLE HISTORY FROM THE AREA WHEN NAMING AND DESIGNING THE RESTAURANT AFTER THE SANDY HOOK PROVING GROUNDS. ESTABLISHED IN 1874, IT BECAME THE FIRST US ARMY PROVING GROUND TO TEST ARTILLERY AND OTHER MATERIALS. AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT – TESTING NEW MENU ITEMS AND SPECIALIZING IN THE NEWEST CRAFT BEER AND COCKTAILS. WE LIKE TO MIX IT UP WITH OUR EVENTS, MUSIC, AND EXPERIENCE TO ALWAYS KEEP THINGS FRESH AND FUN.

Menu was innovative and delicious! Service top notch. Only objection was that the kimchi with the tuna was way too spicy hot! We've had kimchi before, but this was something to not touch, or you would not be able to taste the tuna. Our waitress, Janice, had warned us ahead of time, but having had kimchi before, there was no concern. But this kimchi was unbearable! Janice was an outstanding waitress, answering questions and very attentive throughout the meal. She stated she would give the chef our feedback, and we trust that she did. All other dishes were fantastic!
