Steak Tartare (GF) | Organic Aged Miso, Charred Brassicas, Shallot, Sweet Potato Chips

Steak tartare has long been considered a benchmark of both technique and ingredient quality, earning its place as one of the most enduring dishes in the culinary world.

This season’s interpretation begins with that classic French foundation, then moves in a distinctly modern direction. Organic aged miso lends savory complexity, while charred brassicas bring a seasonal, vegetable-forward element that departs from more traditional preparations. In place of the toast points often served alongside tartare, sweet potato chips provide texture and subtle sweetness.

Available now as part of our seasonal menu.

Open Tuesday through Thursday, 4PM - 11PM
Friday & Saturday, 4PM - Midnight

Reservations available. Walk-ins welcome on a first come-come, first-served basis.

Ideal for sharing and served with baguette, it occupies a sweet spot between elevated dining and familiar comfort. It's a dish that encourages guests to slow down, share a few bites, and enjoy the simple pleasure of good food in good company.

Squash Blossoms (V/GF) | White Gazpacho, Hot Honey, Herbes de Provence

Delicate, highly prized, and available for only a fleeting moment each year, squash blossoms are among the most anticipated harvests of summer. Thanks to Lancaster's abundance of fresh local produce, we're able to feature them at their peak.

Lightly fried and served with white gazpacho, hot honey, and Herbes de Provence, squash blossoms serve as a reminder of summer's bounty and capture the essence of the growing season in a way few ingredients can.

Enjoy them while they're still in bloom.

Reservations available. Walk-ins welcome on a first come-come, first-served basis.

Countless services. Thousands of guests served. Behind many memorable evenings at Proof is Casey.

If you've dined with us over the past four years, there's a good chance she's been part of your experience. As a member of the opening-day team, Casey has helped shape the hospitality guests have come to know and love.

Get to know Casey!

A Lancaster native, Casey has spent her entire hospitality career in the restaurant industry. She got her start as a hostess at 17 and worked her way up to serving in her early twenties, discovering along the way that what she enjoys most is connecting with people.

Whether she's welcoming a couple celebrating a special occasion, a family gathering around the table, or a business traveler passing through town, Casey values the opportunity to cater to each guest's unique needs and create a memorable experience.

For her, one of the most rewarding parts of the job is building relationships with regular guests and getting to know the people who return time and time again. A successful evening isn't measured by how busy the dining room is, but by the connections formed throughout service and the feeling that every guest has been genuinely cared for.

When asked what sets Proof apart, Casey points to the restaurant's unique duality. "You can get comfy and cozy in a lounge chair with a cocktail or settle in for a full dinner experience," she says. "It's approachable for everyone." That balance between elevated dining and welcoming hospitality is something she believes makes Proof special.

We're grateful for Casey's dedication, warmth, and four years of exceptional service.
