ProAbition Whiskey Lounge & Kitchen - American restaurant in Riverside - 3597 Main St, USA

Walked right in and sat down at the bar, place looks like they clean up well and the decor is nicely done. I went to order up an old fashioned which was made to perfection, to my surprise the drink had an ice cube with the letter A neatly engraved on it which I thought was pretty cool. I had ordered a small snack and thought fried shrimp sounded like great way to go and I was not disappointed. The shrimp was well seasoned with a blend of spices and seasonings which made them pop with each and every bite. Not everyone knows how to fry up something without relying on a sauce to pick up the slack for lack of flavor. Service was pretty good despite the fact that the bar keep was swamped he managed to serve and take my order along with the whole bar with ease. I am intrigued to see what other tricks they have to the hors d oeuvres.

Horrible service! It took about 30 minutes to get our drinks when the place was not busy. The waitress blamed the bartender. When our food came out some of it was cold and our steak was overcooked. We ordered jalapeños for our steak, but they came out after we were done eating and had already picked up our plates, the waitress still proceeded to charge us for the jalapeños. She blamed the cook for them coming out late. The only thing that made our visit pleasant was the older Hispanic man that was trying to help us. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name. Our order was over $100 for an unsatisfactory experience.

Only reason to take off a star is because I'm vegan and they still put cheese on my food and I had to wait and I was starving on my birthday celebration! Please, add a couple vegan items to your menu. That'd really the only thing I have a problem about frequenting places with only options that have to be tweaked. Great service, great atmosphere, and I received two gifts from strangers as well! The birthday song is super fun too!

I attended a work dinner on 1/22/2024 at Proabation. The quality of the food seemed acceptable, and the venue is suitable for the occasion, although perhaps not as formal as one would expect for a work dinner. The quality of the service was poor, at best. One of the guests, who, among other things, was diverse, was served by a different server compared to the other two guests. It seemed to me like the first time I experienced this level of disrespect. I would not recommend going to this restaurant.

Had private party, and perfect venue. Staff and owners were great and accommodating. Great location and atmosphere. Didn't have any food from there, so no rating for that. Great cocktails. Highly recommend!

We had a girl's night out here last night and we were all so impressed. First impressions are everything and the manager greeted us with a big smile and compliment from the minute we walked up. He really set the tone for the awesome service we received the whole time. We were seated with Georgie (Georgette) and she was fantastic!! My mom described what she like to Georgie, who then recommended the mushroom risotto and she was spot on! Delicious! My sister and I had the filet and it was great. It wasn't too busy of a night but the ambiance was still really cool. Every single staff member was really friendly, but especially the manager and Georgie. Thank you, everyone. Great first experience. We will be back!

I gotta say, that this visit for dinner tonight was magnificent. Our server Bobby was very friendly and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for our dinner. The restaurant is very clean and friendly. Food very Delicious 😋. Hot & Fresh.

Could be more inventive, more rebellious. Cocktails were delicious but familiar. I had the aviation and loved it. Food was incredible besides the scallops being under cooked (asked for them to be made more well and came exactly the same). You don't come for good personal service which would truly be the one thing that made this joint exceptional instead of just great.
