Proof on Main

Editorial Review

Chef Michael Paley serves a modern take on Southern cuisine to locals who don't object to paying for style and substance. and guests at adjacent 21c Museum Hotel smart enough to avoid Fourth Street Live!. Kentucky bison, in the form of burgers, carpaccio and marrow bones, deliciously demonstrates commitment to local ingredients. Fifty-deep bourbon library, 100-bottle wine list, and custom cocktails does likewise for booze. Punchy artwork from hotel carries over into restaurant. Food, drinks, and art change regularly, so come back often.
