   Everything was superb, well portioned, and service was friendly and well paced—and not intrusive. The appetizers were particularly FAB: crudo in a cilantro coconut puddle, oysters with yuzu mignonette, and foie gras in steamed buns with just the right amount of sweet. Mains: lobster with chewy Korean noodle and crispy-skinned striped bass. Delicious with sauces that were balanced and not overwhelming the food. Dessert: coconut thai tea ice cream. YUM. But green curry banana sundae with fish sauce caramel was weird (the only thing on our menu where risky creativity didn't quite work).

   We chose the pre-theatre menu for $65 per person and our dinner was excellent and perfectly timed. Such an easy walk to the Lyric Opera House for the Joffrey Ballet - staff are friendly and so well trained! We will be back

   We came to Proxi for a chef pop-up but having dined here a few times previously I knew the meal would be fantastic. In addition to the pop-up we ordered two vegetable dishes from the Proxi menu. The tempura elotes is an absolute must and for a refreshing and flavorful dish, the fennel apple chaat is your dish. We sat at the chef’s counter which I highly recommend for a chance to watch the action.

   Our dinner was absolutely delicious. We had 5 courses, and each one was superb. Elotes, Tamales, Kofta, Chaat and Foi Gras. Our waiter Jordan was excellent. Highly recommend Proxi

    I was looking forward to enjoying a nice dinner while visiting Chicago. I do appreciate that they were super accommodating when it came to moving our reservation. However I have to say that the meal itself was a bit underwhelming. I like Andrew Zimmerman and was looking forward to adding a Michelin rated restaurant to my list, but unfortunately I will not be visiting or recommending this place to others. I should have caught on when they sent me an email via open table that their pre fixe menu was not available. We started with the drinks, we ordered 3 Vietnamese espresso martinis. When the arrived all 3 had different looks, not consistent and underwhelming. Couldn’t taste the condensed milk and the cream was not great. We ordered 2 apps, 3 main dishes and no dessert as they offered 3 items with ice cream when the weather was freezing outside. The main plates came out cold, we shared the feedback with our waiter and rather than resolving, he didn’t really offer an explanation. I also felt super rushed and he came around 8:45 to announce it was last call for hot options (which never were hot in the first place). Really disappointing. I gave them a three star because the apps were really good, but the main dishes were a huge disappointment. We did end up eating the food as we were hungry, but if I had the option we probably should have sent them back…unfortunately I will not be going back.
