Cute place. Food was sub par - not a picky person in general. Duck was gross. Pasta was not cooked properly - crunchy. The beef rigatoni was good, steak tartare was NOT tartare.

I needed a quiet place to unwind by myself after a brutal work week and decided to give Prospect a try. Sat at the bar and the energy of the place instantly lifted my mood—it's upscale but has this lively, hip warmth to it. I ordered a cocktail recommended by the bartender and paired it with their famous pork chop. Honestly, it was cooked to absolute perfection and the portion size was incredibly generous. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu details. The staff was friendly and kept an eye on me without being overly intrusive, which I really appreciated for a solo dining experience. I’ll definitely be back next time I need a treating-myself night.

Still good, but used to be better. They do a happy hour menu from 4-6. You can also eat at the bar from the full menu after, or move to dining room. They still do interesting flavours and seasonal ingredients, but all of our dishes felt a bit fussy and overdone. Almost TOO many flavours and textures, that don't always match. We all agreed could be better to go simpler sometimes. All that said, service is friendly and quick and can't fault them at all :)

Food and service are good and make it worth a visit. But restaurant's pricing practices are a little shady. The menu they give you at the restaurant has no prices. They offered us a 3-course menu (app, main, desert) for $115. Ok, that's not terrible ... except that when I looked at the menu online later the individual items were much cheaper than that. Basically, if you separately got the most expensive app and the most expensive main and the most expensive desert (which none of us did), you'd still be at around $90. Additionally, the menu said gratuity of 20% will be added to parties of 10 or more. Ok that's pretty standard and completely understandable. But we were 8 people and automatically had a gratuity of 22% added. The service was good so we would have tipped that anyway and overall the price is fair given the location / food quality. If they were transparent and honest in their pricing, none of it would have been an issue. But it just feels like some of this was intentionally deceiving to squeeze a little more money out of customers.

I walk by this restraunt a lot and it always looked somewhat stuffy. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the service! Thank you for a great eating experience!

Can’t believe I’d never been to Prospect before! Was sooo tasty and had a fun, vibey atmosphere. I came here with a group, and it was perfect for us to lounge on the couches near the door. The dish I had was everything I could want in a pasta. I wish I could remember the name 😩 it looks like it’s no longer on the menu unfortunately. I think it was a rigatoni with beef ragu and truffle. What really made it was the fried rosemary - I had never seen that before, but it really elevated the dish. Paired with a glass of rosé, Prospect was the perfect evening!

OMG--Prospect still SLAPS with the same DELICIOUS and AMAZING flavors as ever! I'm here for the popular Prospect burger and fries this time. Amazing! Service is top-notch and keeps getting better. If Jerry, your server, buckle up--you're in for a next-level dining experience! Plates come out looking like works of art--bright, colorful, and full of love. And the taste? Even better than the presentation. Every bite is a wow-moment. The wine list is selective, special, and impossible to mess up. Pick anything, and you'll be golden. The vibe is romantic, classy, yet super fun--exactly the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger all night. I seriously LOVE everything about this place. Parking, though... that's the only adventure. Between the rideshare chaos and tight spaces, finding a spot--especially with a big car--is tricky. Pro tip: get here early before dinner hours, and with some patience, you'll find one. And trust me--it's 100% worth it once you're inside.
